So I made some scripts on python already (HERE - in french) but it seems few people are intersted by python scripts here...
Anyway, I just quickly ported bit-torrent on xbox and i'd like to know if some people are interested by it. But first I need a beta-tester with a good knownledge of XMBC and network.

alx5962 : c'est bien toi qui a fait le script python guidetele ? ce serait cool si tu pouvait faire avec les chaines du satellites et cable aussi, ainsi que les infos sur les emissions si on clique dessus comme sur PC (je sais pas si c possible). En tout cas il est pas mal ton script actuel. Merci

if it's already done on xbox i don't think it's useful to do it again...

Mar 8 2004, 08:53 PM

how about a tvguide that uses www.tvguide.com or something (for us non-french people). this is a missing feature in xbmc i believe.

there's no keyboard support in python for now... So email client is useless
an english tvguide is very possible, I need to have a look at this

alx5962, i want to say one things to you.

Great job and great idea !

A bittorent client on xbox is very cool. We can use the xbox like a computer for download, its great.

Thats funny when you want to play game on pc at same time with 100% cpu available.

This is a fantastic way to add new functionality. This would be a great way for someone to create a general RSS client that aggregates news headlines, which would be more general than the Google News script you've got. Great work.

I agree, an RSS reader would be nice... as well as a RSS feed streamer like Avalaunch has.

Mar 11 2004, 05:35 PM

an rss reader already exists. i modified it to work more like the avalaunch one. i'll post the edited version tonight

hey alex or anyone good with python scripting do you think it would be possible for to write a script that will listen for YAC and display its info? YAC is a ID Caller program that runs on pc and is able to broadcast the Name and Number of incoming calls to stuff that can support it via network/lan here is my thread on more info http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=185220

i personally have no interest, and therefore probably won't do it. still, the source isn't in python. most of the stuff thats been done is already in python (and just needs to be ported), or its a python example

From xbmc forums (from Darkie, edited by myself):

extract the directories from python.rar (cvs\xbmc\python\python.rar)
to "xbmc home dir\python\"
and if you want some examples you should extract scripts.rar(cvs\xbmc\scripts\scripts.rar)
to "xbmc home dir\scripts\"

you will now have the next directory structure in xbmc
xbmc
python
Lib
temp
www
scripts

To execute scripts go to settings->scripts.

rss2.py

http://drmuerte.no-ip.com/ <-- right click and save to get the modified rss.py (more like ava's rss feed)

Features
* news feed now positioned in a better place (best viewed with newest skin)
* changes news topic every 5 seconds

Future junk
* scrolling newsfeed
* multiple news feeds

if you want to run the script automatically, goto autoexec_RENAME.py, and change the line in it to this: xbmc.executescript('q:\\scripts\\rss2.py'). then rename the file to autoexec.py. you can also change the rss feed's url by changing RSS_URL = 'http://www.xbox-scene.com/xbox1data/xbox-scene.xml' to be whatever rss url you want.

Alex you dont need a 56k for the fact YAC has "IM" type of feature basically it lets you send messages accross the network as well to test or to just send a message across network so you wouldnt need a modem even, Really what the script would be doing is "listen" on the network so when YAC broadcast a message it puts it on screen wether its Name & Number or a Message you broadcasted from YAC on your pc

here is an example from the site:

For Developers and Power Users

YAC has the ability to send short text messages to YAC listeners on the network. This makes YAC a viable addition to home automation or other solutions involving multiple computers and devices on your network.

The YAC Software Developer's Kit is a web page that will help you understand how to write a listener or write a program that will cause YAC to send text over the network on your behalf.

The YACTextSend sample program shows you how to write a simple Windows program that sends text through YAC to listeners on the network. Even if you don't care about the source code, you can use YACTextSend in scripts or from other programs. Just pass the text you want to send on the command line. For instance, to send the string "Does anyone in the house want to go to dinner?", you would type or run:

C:\YACTextSend Does anyone in the house want to go to dinner?

Here is the url to how to for a script on a "listner" http://sunflowerhead.com/software/yac/yac-sdk.htm

i'm glad my idea is materializing. you should make it so email notification comes up on the screen no matter where you are. if you want any help... just pm me, or instant message me. you can contact me on aim here: keybsnbits or on msn here: keybsnbits@comcast.net. i'd actually just like to take a look at the code... maybe give some ideas, maybe edit it up.

I understood this and i have
\XBMC\scripts\ directory but where the hell can i get that python.rar? i've searched xbins and searched this forum, i've googled already but nothing.. what that python.rar keeps in it?

without this python.rar(and things in it)
when i get to XMBC -> settings -> scripts and push examle tvguide with X it says "running" and show it under half seconds. but i cant get them work..

what programs do i need to make my own python script? i would make my own www.telkku.com finnish TV-guide

EDIT: made more searching

For Python scripting support, extract python.rar (included in the 02-12 build) into
the XBMC folder so that you have scripts/ and python/ subdirectories. You do not need
to upload the files from python.rar if you do not need Python scripting support.

Beelzabub

Mar 12 2004, 06:28 PM

I just looked on xbins its there just download any of the XBMC not the one that says "Proper" for some reason that one dont have the python.rar included just download the xbmc-2004-02-12.rar and extract it and get the python.rar from there

I'm still planning on implementing multiple RSS feeds... shouldn't be hard at all. Not today though.... maybe sunday.

And autoexec_RENAME.py is in python.rar.
