I need to write a plugin to play video (flash) from an existing web site,
but I am absolutely unfamiliar with python. I intend to dig in and
learn, but wanted to keep it fairly simple until I am more comfortable
with it.

So, if I wanted to make this task as simple as possible, rather than
writing a scraper, would writing an XML interface that the plugin
interacts with be the simplest way to go? I control the site, so I can
provide whatever interface would be the easiest / most efficient as
needed.

Thanks for any pointers.

Hallo,

If you know the exact path to the Files you need, the fastest way is thet you create an .m3u file with the notepad an write the links there down.

Code:

http://www......
http://www.....

Then add a new souce to your videolibrary... ready.

The second way is to program a script. You have to pars your website and download the file. The best way to lern this, you have a look in a other plugin e.g. the "Chaos Computer Club (CCC)-TV plugin (AddOns/Video). The sources for the plugins you can find on you user- directory (win: C:\Users\your name\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons"

have a nice day
