Let me just say I love this addon. But I seem to get an error every time XBMC starts. It just says Error in service.py. I checked the log and it said the follow:

For a more clear code check this. It starts at line 1229.

This is after I updated to the latest version. But the same error already accured before updating. Hope you can track down the problem.

Code:

ImportError: Failed to import _strptime because the import lockis held by another thread.

It is a known issue, with no fix likely to be made to python 2.x: http://bugs.python.org/issue7980

This is what I found on stack exchange to help. It reduced the frequency of the error, but didnt eliminate it completely.

Code:

# This is a throwaway variable to deal with a python bug
  throwaway = datetime.datetime.strptime('20110101','%Y%m%d')

I reckon I will put in a while loop instead. Give it 1 second to free up (it should only take microseconds). If it isnt there after the loop, give it one more try and then throw the script error.

Code:

count = 0
while count < 1000:
    try:
        datetime.datetime.strptime('20110101','%Y%m%d')
        count = 2001
    except:
        xbmc.sleep(1)
        count += 1

if count != 2001:
    datetime.datetime.strptime('20110101','%Y%m%d')

Its seems also to be a common bug in python. I don't know how to fix this. Does the error really occur every time XBMC starts?

Hope everyone is off to a great start of the new year...

I have a feature request if can be implied into gotham 13.

Please take a look at this mod.

Is their a way we can have this in the add-on when bringing up the menu? Because currently the add-on serves it's purpose only by updating top 250 and movies. It would be cool if we can have a feature that highlights best picture and top 250 from our library collection.

Have this add-on actually show off top 250 and best picture within the add-on. Do you understand now Jandalf?

Thanks

Thanks

yes, sorry for the misunderstanding.

i just build something to display the Top250 movies:

script.imdbupdate-0.5.0.zip

I have a problem with collections getting displayed in wrong order. Could you test this?

Regarding displaying best Picture: I don't know how to do this, cause XBMC does not offer a database field for this.
