hello,

i am neewbe with python, although i have programmed before in other languages.
i'm trying to program an script that reads a file from smb. i have read the posts here, but i don't find the right solution. i have done this:

#############################
class myclass(xbmcgui.window):
def (self):
titol = ''
imatge = ''
path = 'smb://xarxa;xbox:xbox@athlon/dvdrom'
config_file = path + '/config.xml'
imatge = '/media/wallpaper.jpg'
file = open(config_file)
self.addcontrol(xbmcgui.controlimage(0,0,800,600, path + imatge))
....
#############################
i got 2 problems here:
1st: at line "file = open(config_file)" i get the error that config_file is not a valid file . how can i acces to this file to be readed?
2nd: if i comment out the line before, i don't see the image and i can acces to it by files -> dvdrom (via smb). why i can't see the image when running my script?

thank you in advance,
gonella

you can't acces smb share with python. files from dvd and hd do work, but remote files won't.
same goes for the image.

but i can play a film with this format:

###############
file = 'smb://xarxa;xbox:xbox@athlon/films/the_ring.avi'
xbmc.player().play(file)
###############

do i need to copy the files to the hd of the xbox? how can i do that?

i have read the kml script, and its a little dificult for me. is there another script easier?

thanks and excuse my english

at a guess, i'd say you need a smb library
