I apologize if this has been answered already. I didn't have the patience to read the entire 40page thread and the search turned up nothing useful.
I tried to install XBMCflicks for XBMC the other day and it didn't work. So, I decided to find the answer to this. I'm not sure of the root cause of the python behavior, but I tested the result in both the python command line and also the actual script for XBMCflicks.
The fix/problem is with the open() function that is in python. The script uses r+ as the file mode. I changed this to w+ in all occurrences I found. I have not tested this in other operating systems such as XP, Vista, or Win7(x86) as I only have Win7(x64).
If you open the following directory you will find a load of python files. The two that I found were modQueue.py and iqueue.py.
You can open the files with notepad (it will look horrible) or any other python or text editor. Do a search and replaced for 'r+' WITH the quotes and replace with 'w+' WITH the quotes.
After making the changes to the two files you can restart XBMC and the application should allow you to view your queue and search what you need.

Atreides Wrote:I am getting the same issue with XBMC flicks not showing any information after I go through the initial stage of setting it up. I link the account, and then it tells me to restart XBMC, I do this and there are no videos in any category. I also checked the plugin folder and I do not have the userinfo.txt file anywhere. Is there a fix for this, or somewhere where I can get a copy of a user file to modify and make it work?
EDIT:OK, so I ran through the entire thread and I found where people where having a similar issue, and it was stated that they need to turn on debugging and verbose user information. After that they need to open the log file, (Which for me would be in C:/User/*username*/Roaming/XBMC/Logfile.txt, Win7 64 bit OS) and there would be a line that would have the Key and Secret needed to put in the iqueue.py file. I tried this and it did not work, but I feel like I am missing something.
EDIT 2: OK, so I have looked closer at other peoples log files and I am not getting the same log entry as they are. For mine there i no Key or Secret in the log file. Here is my latest log.
Note:I replaced some of the code with * since I do not know what someone can do with this stuff. Thought I would be safe rather than sorry.
Thanks
