Addon Video on Gotham Alpha 14 - slack3r - 2014-07-06
Hi all.
I'm making my first XBMC addon/plugin for personal use, but I'm getting some trouble with last Alpha 14.
The addon is very simple: it pick up a video url and play it. The python code is like this: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Audio/Video_plugin_tutorial#Hello.2C_World.21
My text editor is Geany v.0.21.
The addon works fine on Gotham stable and Frodo, but when running via context menu in Alpha 14, xbmc crashes with segfault signal 11.
I did a screenshot:
Same thing happens on raspberry - running last Milhouse openelec build.
So, the problem is my addon - others work fine.
The addon structure is:
- addon.py - http://pastebin.com/1aNjQLcU
- addon.xml - http://pastebin.com/qx3chWAP
- changelog.txt
There is no icon and fanart images.
Where am I wrong?
Despite my English, can someone help me? What do you need?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

I've found where is the problem (I guess):
the "Launch addon" item in Alpha 14 seems to work only with known addons.
I did a clean install and:
Code:
cp -ivR plugin.video.myplugin ~/.xbmc/addons/plugin.video.popcorntvSo, in addon.xml I've changed <addon id="plugin.video.myplugin" to <addon id="plugin.video.popcorntv".
It works fine, no more crashes.
It's a bug/feature or am I going crazy?
Try it yourself.

it shouldn't crash but folder and id *must* match.

They match.
Take a look:
- scenario 1 -
folder name = "plugin.video.myaddon"
addon id = "plugin.video.myaddon"
xbmc --> Videos --> Add-ons --> my_addon --> Add-on Information --> Launch ==> * Crash *
- scenario 2 -
~/.xbmc folder cleaned;
same python code;
But:
folder name = "plugin.video.popcorntv" - or 'plugin.video.youtube'
addon id = "plugin.video.popcorntv" - or 'plugin.video.youtube'
xbmc --> Videos --> Add-ons --> my_addon --> Add-on Information --> Launch ==> * Does NOT crash *

You've got a NULL ptr there. Looks like it's likely the commit you referenced - will take a look.
(The difference is whether or not the add-on is in XBMCs addon folder, or in the userdata addons folder)
EDIT: Rather, the difference is whether or not the add-on is available in a repository, or in the database in some form (e.g. if marked as disabled at some point)
