Is it possible to get the XBMC version from a plugin? The revision information would be even better (so I can check for something that was fixed/modified in revision XXX)

[ppic]

xbmc_rev = int( xbmc.getInfoLabel( "System.BuildVersion" ).split( " r" )[ -1 ] )

[blittan]

xbmc.getInfoLabel( "System.BuildVersion" )

see: http://xbmc.sourceforge.net/python-docs/xbmc.html

excellent! many thanks.

seemed on my machine the revision had a "M" at the end of it, so the split/int may not work in all cases?

I've done

rev_re = re.compile(' r(\d+)')

xbmc_rev = int(rev_re.search(xbmc.getInfoLabel( "System.BuildVersion" )).group(1))

i guess a reg exp is perhaps overkill, but it seems to work (and it only gets called once)
