[JTG2003]

I just downloaded and setup XBMC for Windows (Version 9.11 I guess it is).

I go into programs >> program plugins >> SVN Repo Installer >> xbmc-addons >> plugins

From there, I can install any of the plugins fine. But as soon as I try to run them, 99% of them return "Script Failed!"

Almost every search I've done for this, people have been saying they get a "Python script failed" error. Mine doesn't say python.. I don't know if they just changed what the error says in a different version or it's a different error altogether.

For example, I went into Video and installed the Family Guy plugin. In the description, it said it was compatible.

Then, from the main menu, I go to video >> video plugins >> family guy

I select a video and immediately I get "ERROR SCRIPT FAILED! : FAMILY GUY"

This happens with every plugin so far besides the apply movie trailers one which came with the install.

This is a copy from the log covering everything that happens when I press enter on the video:

I didn't have python installed at first, but even after installing python 3.1 it does the same thing.

The first instance of a problem seems to be
ERROR: Unable to load: special://home/plugins/video/Family Guy/resources/settings.xml, Line 0
Failed to open file

Any idea why this might be happening?

I'm sorry if this has been answered before.. I'm sure it has. But I am completely failing at finding it.

So far, this has happened with about 6 plugins (none have worked yet)

Any help is appreciated
Thanks,
Jeremy

(Version 9.11 I guess it is).

Let's not guess. Full debug log will tell you.

(Version 9.11 I guess it is).

Let's not guess. Full debug log will tell you.

It's the latest stable version from the main site

https://sourceforge.net/projects/xbmc/fi...e/download

The debug log doesn't seem to say the exact version number. It does give a few system specs that may be useful though. This was at the top of the log:

Did you enable debugging? http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Log..._Debugging

[Pilotclan9404]

I had to join and post that im also getting this and i just installed for the 1st time....

I don't understand everything - im not a programmer...

Can this play live tv ? recored my shows for me if i havea tuner card? T_T

[kricker]

Can this play live tv ? recored my shows for me if i havea tuner card? T_T

The short answer is no. The long answer is search the forums. There are threads discussing ways to do this with various plugins and modifications.

[JTG2003]

Did you enable debugging? http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Log..._Debugging

Yes, it didn't seem to change the way the log works, but it put an overlay on my screen with FPS and some other stuff.

[kricker]

Enable debugging will not fix your problem , but instead writes more info to the log. Post your log to pastebin after enabling the debug and producing the error.

[JTG2003]

Ok, This is the full debug log.

I started it up, installed several video plugins through the SVN Repo Installer (Family Guy, FreeMoovies, GameTrailersHD, and Google Video). I then ran each one in turn, each one gave the script error.

[kricker]

Backup your user data, then dl and try this build. This was the last SVN build before the Add-on system.

[JTG2003]

Installed, no difference. Looks and functions the same.

Anything I should be posting about it?

[natethomas]

His build from the original question was built in December. The addon system shouldn't be the problem. Is there any chance the old svn repo is using more modern scripts?

[kricker]

Yeah probably not, but that was the last rev before the addon system went in. I was using it on my HTPC up to a few days ago and all plugins and scripts were working fine. It was at least worth a shot. At this point if it was me I'd start with a totaly fresh clean install and try one known working plugin.

[forge]

I have the same issue.

Installed the latest stable on both my desktop & laptop and I keep getting the same error.

Nat Geo & CNN News have played but the majority of plugins will not play.

I am not expert with XBMC but I am not a novice with programs or computers.

My thinking was that I needed to enable a codec or script but have not seen anything that states (____) is required.

What I did:
Installed XMBC installed, Installed SVN Installer and went straight the video plugins and loaded up what I wanted.
After that I tried starting the media and kept getting "error: script failed (plugin name)

On my 2nd attempt I installed Zone installer and also went to programs and added Navi-X script thinking I was missing a script.

Now I am here asking: Can I just install XMBC & SVN installer then add plugins for video and play the streaming video without additional plugin's or am I missing something for the streaming videos plugins to work?
I can play any video I come across so I don't think it is a lack of codecs on my OS.
(working with windows is making me lazier than I ought to be)

I'll add the log info I have.......

Please help

[GigiAUT]

I've been having the same problem. I can't even get the SVN Repo Installer to work. I installed 9.11 about 2 or 3 weeks ago I think. I'm still pretty new to all this media centre stuff.
