Hi,

Im using:
RunScript(special://home/scripts/YouTrailer/default.py,"$INFO[listitem.filename]","$INFO[listitem.path]")

to send the path of currently selected movie to my script.
I then query the xbmc db "path" table for this path.

works fine on PC when the movies path is SMB://gfdgg/ghgfh/
but, if i try with local movies "C:\blah blah\"
the path gets sent without the trailing "\"
so query on db won't wind path
This will be due to "$INFO[listitem.path]".
It will translate to "C:\blah blah\"
so, it will be taking the end " as literal

Any way to run a replace command in a xbmc skin file eg:
"$INFO[listitem.path].replace('\\','\\\\')"

??

Any help would be greatly apreciated!

Hmm.
Doing: "$INFO[listitem.path] " (note the space after the ] )
Then just .strip() the path in the script.

Can anyone see anything wrong with doing this?

sounds wierd, but why are you doing "$INFO..." try with just $INFO no " (quotes)

also in the script try and do sys.argv[2].replace('\\','\\\\')

Hi,
Without quotes, it passes filenames "10,000 BC" as "000 BC" etc.
Ill try the sys.argv replace

Ok. Tried the replace. Doesn't work
Gave me: C:\\foo\\foo"
Note: the end quotes, again taken as literal
