Full Version: Help needed: plugin to display a text file
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Hi all,

I want to have a plugin display a text file, quite possibly with the option to hit 'play' to progress to the next page.

I have absolutely no idea how to go about this. Can somebody point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Pedro the mac boy
You could start by having a look at the Notepad plugin I wrote (inspired from Notepad script) - http://code.google.com/p/dandar3-xbmc-ad...ki/Notepad

I don't know about the "play" to progress to the next page you can probably use a different approach with a textbox control set to autoscroll...
I have a Script called FileViewer that allows you to browse local system, then it will view/play file depending on file type.

Get it from http://www.box.net/xbmcscripts

@BBB
The link redirects to http://www.box.net/xbmcscripts, but it's not there, do you have to log in first?
Thanks for pointing that out.
Unfortunately, my works proxy blocks Personal Storage sites now, so I can't check on it until this evening.

It is also in SVN: http://xbmc-addons.googlecode.com/svn/tr...ileViewer/
FileViewer now available http://www.box.net/xbmcscripts
Thanks BBB, they both work now.
FileViewer does not work on dharma.
Many things don't but I'm not fixing stuff until after a) next point release b) summer's over Smile
