hello everone hope you are having a great monday! :lookaround:

i just wanted to know a few simple things that do not seemed to be easily stated in any one place.

1. after i unrar the python scripts into the python folder, should new scripts like the movieguide go in the python folder or the scripts folder?  which go where?  alex albrecht former host from thescreensavers says the python folder http://alexalbrecht.typepad.com/alex/fun...index.html yet many say the scripts?

2. how in the hell is that movieguide scripts supposed to work -- all it does it lock up.  the quicktime gets as far as the parsing stage and hangs and many other scripts just don't do anything.  the shoutcast works great.

3. why are the network settings tags no longer included in the xboxmediacenter.xml? took me hours to get my weather working again before i noticed that these tags were no longer there.

thanks everyone for looking!

1) xbmc\scripts

2) i've had the same problem... dl the latest one from the coders web site and then let it run. it will take a few mins before it works.

thanks for the info.  i downloaded the latest xbmc and the xboxmediacenter.xml file did include the network section -- my bad.  i did a file compare with a great free program called file comparer http://www.snapfiles.com/get/filecomparer.html and saw what i had messed up.  

one more question i did have though... the python23.zlib file... does that need to be unzipped to the python folder or left alone?  there are quite a lot of files and folders in that zipped library but exactly what they all do i am not sure.  do i need to edit any of them or should they all be left alone?

thanks for your help!
