Hi,
I just installed XBMC and Free Cable on my Windows 7 laptop. I get a script error navigating to some directories within the Free Cable (i.e. CBS/Primetime/Survivor/Full Episodes). I'm also seeing this with the Hulu plugin as well.
Please see below for my log:

It works beautifully on my jailbroken Apple TV 2. I'm not sure what's different with my Win7 config, permissions issue maybe? Any help would be appreciated
Thanks!
