Full Version: I can't run my scripts at startup

i have had a quick look around searching and checking the online manual. if it covers this then i missed it, sorry...

basically i have installed the callerid scripts into my script folder e:\apps\xbmc\scripts

i have edited the autoexec.py scripts which now says this:

#xbmc.executescript('q:\\scripts\\callerid.py')

#xbmc.executescript('q:\\scripts\\playlistrandom\\playlistrandom.py')

but, the callerid script does not run when i startup the xbox.

what i think may be related is that i do not appear to have a q:\ drive letter when looking via ftp. i seem to recall i once did. i have been building my own versions of xbmc using xbmc_ddr. could i be missing some configuration item that should be making this q:\ drive mapping appear, or am i just doing something else wrong with the python script.

btw. it runs fine when i manually select the script.

i also run xbmc as my dashboard. my home path is set to e:\apps\xbmc\ so this is correct also.

any help would be appreciated, thanks.
the # refers to a comment - remove it.

you always have a q: drive - it's the virtual drive that xbmc's homedir is mapped to.
that was it! thank you. i feel a bit of a stupid now. :thumbsup:
