Do you use a router for your connection?

[JCDoe]

Yes, of course (can you imagine just plugging your computer directly into the internet? May as well just ask for a virus!).

Specifically, I have a cable modem which connects to a wireless router, and then another wireless router which connects to the xbox and acts as a bridge. I know the connection is good because I am able to stream video off SMB shares on my pc.

Since the problem seems to have to do with python scripts, is it possible that the python engine on the machine is malfunctioning? Does xbmc have python loaded in it, or is that a part of whatever dash is first started?

[JCDoe]

I'm still stuck . . . I've tried everything short of formatting the harddrive and starting from scratch (yeah, not gonna do that).

Does that log file gibberish mean anything to anyone?

[blittan]

python is part of xbmc, can you run for example Apple Movie Trailers and T3CH Upgrader?

From the log it seems some of the scripts you are trying to run isn't handling multiple platforms well.

[JCDoe]

The T3CH updater works fine. So does the quicksilver plugin.

If its a problem with the plugins, shouldn't other people be having the same problems with them?

[blittan]

taking a quick look at your log..

Code:

[color=#000000][COLOR=#0000BB]ZIPPY[/color][color=#007700]([/color][color=#0000BB]open[/color][color=#007700]([/color][color=#0000BB]os[/color][color=#007700].[/color][color=#0000BB]getcwd[/color][color=#007700]().[/color][color=#0000BB]replace[/color][color=#007700]([/color][color=#DD0000]";"[/color][color=#007700],[/color][color=#DD0000]""[/color][color=#007700])+[/color][color=#DD0000]'/check/string'[/color][color=#007700],[/color][color=#DD0000]'r'[/color][color=#007700]).[/color][color=#0000BB]read[/color][color=#007700]())

There is one error, using linux paths on xbox .. /check/string should really be \check\string

That plugin would have problems working on windows aswell..

Also seems like every settings file is missing / read from the wrong location..

Interesting, so a plugin designed for xbmc on linux will not work on xbox? I wonder if that's been the problem the whole time . . .

no, a plugin incorrectly written will not work cross platform.

should be something more like:

Code:

[color=#000000][COLOR=#0000bb]ZIPPY[/color][color=#007700]([/color][color=#0000bb]open[/color][color=#007700](os.path.join([/color][color=#0000bb]os[/color][color=#007700].[/color][color=#0000bb]getcwd[/color][color=#007700]().[/color][color=#0000bb]replace[/color][color=#007700]([/color][color=#dd0000]";"[/color][color=#007700],[/color][color=#dd0000]""[/color][color=#007700])[COLOR=#dd0000],[/color][/COLOR][color=#dd0000]'check','string'[/color][color=#007700]),[/color][color=#dd0000]'r'[/color][color=#007700]).[/color][color=#0000bb]read[/color][color=#007700]())[/color][/COLOR]

Huh. That's in the latest version of VPR. Is python uncompiled code (like java), or compiled (like C)?

If its uncompiled, I'm assuming I need to change all of the forward slashes to backward slashes to fix the plugin?

[JCDoe]

Just wanted to thank everyone who helped with this. I did a fresh install of the problem plugins and they are now working (except VPR). Very odd, but whatever, it works!
