Using the web viewer is no longer required. You should use a normal web-browser (on any device) to continue with adding an account. See also:
http://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:Dbmc#Adding...ox_account

Where did you get the information that the web-viewer should start? That is so old information!

It is the first post on thisThread

haha Fixed it now!
Thanks for the feedback.

Recently the password for the Dropbox account was changed, so I thought that had invalidated the Authorisation for DBMC. Today I removed the account and created it again.
Synchronization started; but as I saw it was not using the destination folder I intended, I tried to stop it and set new folders.After this point no synchronisation did occur again.

Thanks for the logging. I think I found the problem. I was not able to reproduce the problem, so I cannot test if the fix works. You can download Dbmc with the fix from:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/xbmc-dr...t/download
v0.9.1 contains the fix.

Here comes the debug log! I have no clue why I get a script error. Could it be that I have the letter "é" in my account name?
Thanx in advance!

Thanks for the logging! You have found a bug and it indeed has to do with the letter "é" in your account name. I'll try to fix this next week...

Awesome addon dude, good job!

The error from above also appears for other letters, in my case for the letter "ü" in the account name. It gives a "Script Error". Took me a some time to figure this out.

Did you know that the problem with special letters in account names got fixed in version 0.9.0?!

Hi I'm using v 0.8.1 on Raspbmc and added my dropbox account successfully.

However, when trying to configure the settings for local sync, (using the tab called "Change Synchronisation") - I just see a line of text saying "Synchronisation settings can't be changed here anymore!" ?? In the General tab I have set the local folder but can't see where to put the dropbox (remote) location.

Help anyone? Thanks in advance

Okay - I found it in the context menu (not so easy when using an MCE remote)... just trying to synchronise a couple of plugin files onto the Pi.... waiting for the sync to happen.

I know the context menu it is not the prettiest solution, but I was not able to put it in the 'normal' settings menu because of the multiple accounts support...

0.9.1 is running nicely, thnx for that!
Regarding Unicode related problems there is a file named 11Mülebach.jpg that is giving errors

Thanks again for reporting the issue. Again I was not able to reproduce it, however, when looking at the code I found something that could be improved. This could possibly solve it, but I'm not sure... So... Can you test with the new version (v0.9.2)?

The problem in this item is about a file named 11Mülebach.jpg that is not successfully synced. A few days ago I saw DBMC every 5 minutes showing a message about downloading 1 item; today that messages on screen are missing but there still is an message in the logfile. http://xbmclogs.com/pxpwzgbwh

UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xfc' in position 104: ordinal not in range(128)


11Mülebach (hex 31314dfc6c6562616368) is the name of a picture that I once grabbed from a website with pictures from Switzerland. So it is fair to guess that a encoding was used, suitable to display German characters. The UnicodeEncodeError talks about a character character u'\xfc, this is in fact the character ü. The hex value fc has its high bit on, so it is not in the range 00..7f (or 0..127) that is the valid range for ASCII characters

Hi all,

Dbmc doens't work on the new kodi Helix (14.x) version yet! The xbmc-python API has changed and Dbmc has not been tested yet on this new API.
I will check this and let you know as soon as this has been fixed.

Hi, now it works again...thank you!

[Gerbrand]

An Dropbox Internal Server Error showed up on the screen.

In the logfile some warnings about 'Appelboom' jpg's, Those were synced earlier, I wonder why they are in this log again.

But some files that should be synced are not mentioned at all.

Hi

I'm trying to activate this but after i've entered the code from sourceforge and trying to get the other code nothing happens on my TLBB XBMC box...

Sorry i made a misstake

Hi folks!

Someting tells me that I'm contributing with a somewhat noob-y question here.
So, I just got my first Raspberry Pi, and I installed RaspBMC and got the Dropbox addon. I managed to verify the accound and when I try to launch it (from addons under the videos folder or pictures folder) I see the correct account name. Everything good so far.
Now, when I click it - nothing happens. It says "Working" in the lower corner for a second or two, then nothing happens.

I would really appreciate some help here, and I hope I'm posting in the right place - otherwise; sorry for posting in the wrong place!

Huge thanks in advance
//Patrik

Edit: Alright, well, something strang happened. I tried doing it all over again but with another dropbox accont and it worked just fine.
So, I tried removing the faulty account, but I get the message "Action cannot be executed".
Any thoughts?

Which version are you using? There are some unicode fixes in version 0.9.0 and higher.
When you have a (dropbox) account name with a special character (like è, ë, ã, etc.), that would explain the problem you have. Going to version 0.9.0 (or higher) should solve it.
Download the latest version from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/xbmc-dropbox/files/
