[Prof Yaffle]

Not my day... two new threads on the forum in a couple of hours!

I (literally) just picked up today's new build of Lars Opdenkamp's PPA - and I'm having addon problems. At the least, Executor no longer wants to play:

Code:

Any thoughts?? I have no clue at all about Python, and my C is 20 years out of date, so it's a long night's debugging otherwise...

EDIT

I suppose it *might* be related to this API change, although I would have thought that these changes would have broken the add-on earlier given Dushmaniac's intentions on the merge schedule. If so, and if it's a general XBMC API change, then Executor will break for mainline users as well, I suspect... but it shouldn't be PVR-specific...
