as i understand it (and i could be completely wrong) the xbmc keyboard is written in c++ and available to python. so there's no easy way in python to change its functionality.
i have been toying with the idea of writing another python keyboard (this one written in python) and although it's unlikely i'll have anything like the time to do that soon, i'll definitely think of masked entry as a worthwhile function.
concerning secure sites, i don't know yet. i've considered it before because (and i wouldn't be surprised if this is what you're thinking of) it would be nice for xmovieguide to be able to purchase tickets, too. i'll look into it, again, if i ever have the time.
for all those asking to incorporate other movie search sites, same answer. :-) i'd love to (and you providing your local website is definitely quite helpful). it's just a matter of finding the time.

been using this script for a while now and i love it. great work. it would be awesome if a feature could be implemented that would pull up a movie trailer for a selected movie. sort of like the aqtbrowser script. once you select a movie and the running time is shown, there could be an option to view the movie trailer if one is available.
keep up the good work.

hi once more...
well, i was correct. my clungy code to enable parsing of hollywood.com's synopsis has been drastictly cleaned up.
also, to change (or cycle through) the alternate backgrounds,
use the numeric key pad on the dvd remote.
the last background selected prior to 'quiting' xmovieguide
will be saved to the xmgconfig file.
um, where to post this update....?
>>> addded 8-24-04: alexpoet has made this available from his link, go get it!!!
and enjoy..... :joker:

email it to me again (script_requests at cox.net), and i'll either post it as an alternate link on my website or just post it as the main (which would automatically become the one downloaded from the main scripts download page).
i never got a chance to test it out last time. i should've. sounds like you've made some major improvements, and i feel bad that i haven't spent more time looking into them. just been busy, y'know?
of course, you get full credit for the work you've done. have you modified the readme at all? if so, let me know. if not, feel free to add a comment concerning your contribution to it. i'll put something similar on the webpage.
and, of course, thanks so much for what you've done.

okay, three posts in a row! hope nobody minds.
the script is now up as the official download link on my website. it's way too cool, and i feel bad for keeping it from people for this long.
please, everybody download the new xmovieguide from my website (link is in the sig) or from the main download site (it just gets the one from my website). then try it out and let poolem know how great his contribution has been.

new version of the script is up. no major changes--just fixed it to save zip codes that start with a zero. sorry to everybody in such zip codes that it took me so long to get this fix in.
get the new version at my website (linked in my sig)

to be absolutely sure you have the latest version of my script, visit the link in my signature and download the script from there. the official downloads page should be pointing to the same file, but i'm not positive of that.
the download should include a readme file explaining how to use it (where to put it, and what needs to be included with it). get the very newest version, and install it as described in the readme.
if you do these things, it should resolve your issues (kick in da door and lvlister, both).
if you've done this and still have problems, post again and let me know, and i'll see what i can figure out.
