I'm having some trouble figuring out the slideshow portion of the script. Everything else seems to work perfectly. I'm running on Windows 7 with the Camelot repack of XBMC, r26017 according to system info, and the most recent available version of the script available via the SVN Repo Installer as of today, December 27, 2009. I have had this problem on XBMC rc1 also (the only other version in which I have tried this script), and have tried deleting the script and script data and reinstalling the script which also solved nothing.
I read through this entire thread looking for insight but found little. I'm not entirely clear on where exactly the slides.xml file should go? I figured out eventually its supposed to go in the folder with the slides, but where exactly? Do all slides need to be in one folder (no subfolders), with one slides.xml? Or can you have all slides split up into various folders, each with their individual slides.xml files? I have tried both, and neither seems to work.
My folder structure looks like this: C:\Users\Tim\XBMC Stuff\Home Theater Stuff\Trivia Slides\TEST\Scrambled
The "Scrambled" folder contains images named "Q1q.jpg" "Q1c.jpg" "Q1a.jpg" "Q2q.jpg" and so on, all images in sets of three with a question, clue and answer. I placed a slides.xml file in both the "Scrambled" folder and in the "Test" folder, and tried setting the trivia images path in settings to both those folders, and both situations resulted in a "script failed" dialog popping up. My slides.xml files look like this:
Removing the slides.xml files and setting the trivia image path to the "Scrambled" folder makes the script work, but of course the images all display completely randomly and not in groupings.
Anyway, am I doing something wrong here? Insight from anybody would be helpful.
Here's a debug log of when I tried the script with the trivia folder set to "Test": http://pastebin.ca/1728836
...And here's one with the trivia folder set to "Scrambled": http://pastebin.ca/1728837
