I'm trying to find all the possible types for settings in settings.xml, in particular if there's a way to specify ip addresses, what I found so far are these (really few):

Code:

<setting id="server" type="string" label="50000" default="some string" />
<setting id="somebool" type="bool" label="50001" default="true" />

Could someone point me to a specification or provide some other examples?

Here are a few:

type="file"
type="folders"
type="audio"
type="video"
type="labelenum"
type="enum"
type="text"
type="action"
type="date"
type="number"
type="ipaddress"
type="select"
type="image"
type="executable"
type="time"
type="fileenum"
type="slider"


I think these are all the setting types. Not positive on how to use all of them. GUIDialogAddonSettings.cpp has these values.

thank you very much.

Does anyone know how to use a variable (i.e current working directory, version, author ...) in the settings?
I would like to avoid to duplicate and more importantly hard code such value in the settings.xml

I know for action - ie running xbmc built-ins - $CWD gets the current working directory. Not sure of any others.

Yes I have seen that in one of the Nuka's addons:

Code:

<setting label="30625" type="action" action="RunScript($CWD/resources/lib/utils.py,license)"/-->

But $CWD was not recognize otherwise. It is a shame because that would be very useful.

I'm not sure if the 'special://' works in settings, never tried.

I know Nuka had submitted some patches that allow the settings.xm to be handled similar to how skin's xmls are handled. Hopefully these get added to XBMC..
