affini:

everything is in the right place, you just need relative file paths in the exceptions (see below) and a fully qualified smb url (see below)

computer name is the name that shows up for the computer within the workgroup. you may need user:pass if you have a password.

of course, please back up stuff the first time as this is new
i have tested it but you know how it is

<xbmc_update>
<xbmc_dir path = "e:\apps\xbmc" />
<source url='smb://computername;user@hostname/share/path' />
<exceptions>
<file name="xboxmediacenter.xml" />
<file name="filezilla server.xml" />
<file name="skin\project mayhem iii\pal\dialogsubmenu.xml" />
<file name="skin\project mayhem iii\pal\home.xml" />
</exceptions>
<copies>
<file name="default.xbe" dest="c:\xbmc.xbe" />
</copies>
</xbmc_update>'''

smuto:
i'll see if i can slip that in there

cool, thanks... i'll try it soon.

btw... are you going to change the folder name to 'gamma-x' from 'xnetload' since you changed the script name :nuts:

[Solo0815]

i´ll try it soon ...

also, is there a way to put a password on the xbmc update function?

[ruuk]

affini:

that is an xml reading error. check your xml file. if you didn't modify it too much there may be something wrong near the exceptions (it says "line 15, col 13" in your output) if you don't see anything wrong, send me the xml file (removing your sensitive info course ) and i'll check it out.

also, what do you mean exactly. ask for the server password when you run it? just a password for usage... ?

[ruuk]

ok, some notes.
this is fine.

<xbmc_update>
<xbmc_dir path = "e:\apps\xbmc" />

i assume you added the stuff i mentioned earlier but removed it here. (ie computername)

<source url='smb://office/xbmc' />

<exceptions>
<file name="xboxmediacenter.xml" />
<file name="filezilla server.xml" />
<file name="skin\project mayhem iii\pal\dialogsubmenu.xml" />
<file name="skin\project mayhem iii\pal\home.xml" />
<file name="skin\project mayhem iii\pal16x9\dialogsubmenu.xml" />
<file name="skin\project mayhem iii\pal16x9\home.xml" />
</exceptions>

the destinations need to be absolute paths, i changed them below

<copies>
<file name="default.xbe" dest="c:\xbmc.xbe" />
<file name="xboxmediacenter.xml" dest="e:\apps\xbmc\_xboxmediacenter.xml" />
<file name="filezilla server.xml" dest="e:\apps\xbmc\_filezilla server.xml" />
<file name="skin\project mayhem iii\pal\dialogsubmenu.xml" dest="e:\apps\xbmc\skin\project mayhem iii\pal\_dialogsubmenu.xml" />
<file name="skin\project mayhem iii\pal\home.xml" dest="e:\apps\xbmc\skin\project mayhem iii\pal\_home.xml" />
<file name="skin\project mayhem iii\pal16x9\dialogsubmenu.xml" dest="e:\apps\xbmc\skin\project mayhem iii\pal16x9\_dialogsubmenu.xml" />
<file name="skin\project mayhem iii\pal16x9\home.xml" dest="e:\apps\xbmcskin\project mayhem iii\pal16x9\_home.xml" />
</copies>

the ''' at the end is causing the xml error.

</xbmc_update>'''

the copy lines will only copy from files on the xbox after the script fetches the files. since most of your 'copies' are in the exceptions, you will be making copies of the undmodified files, which i'm not sure is what you intended.
maybe i should create an exceptions dir in the xbmc dir and copy the exceptions there. what do you think?

so here is the full xml (just modify the source url).

<xbmc_update>
<xbmc_dir path = "e:\apps\xbmc" />
<source url='smb://office/xbmc' />
<exceptions>
<file name="xboxmediacenter.xml" />
<file name="filezilla server.xml" />

ruuk,
i do not have my smb share passworded so i did not need the username/pw

also, the three single quote marks were from your original xml file. i did no mods.

maybe it is a problem with converting from linux to dos formated text file... i'm using ultraedit and it asks if you want to convert it to dos format... otherwise is it all run together using notepoad and such... thus completely unreadable... same as all your files in the package.

[ruuk]

affini:

you will need the ip address in your smb url and if it is a windows pc you will almost certainly need the computername. on my computer i do not have my smb passworded and i need smb://computername;user@ip/share/path

ruuk

[Livin]

ruuk,
this is odd... none of my smb urls in any other xbmc config needs a format like this:
'smb://office;[email protected]/xbmc'

why does yours require something so different?

got an error still

tried to run via gamma-x.py and then directly using xbmcupdate.py

[ruuk]

ahhhhhhh, now i see what your are doing. that's where the triple quotes came from.

the xml should go into a file called xbmcupdate.xml

this can either go into the xnetload\xnlsettings dir (where there is already a template stored) or in the same dir with xbmcupdate.py

you don't edit the xbmcupdate.py file. that xml you see there is part of some code for creating an xml file if one is not found.

you should probably delete your xbmcupdate.py file and replace it from gamma-x.zip.

python scripts don't have any access to xbmc samba shares. the smb format for gamma-x is dependent on a python samba module that has nothing to do with xbmc and that i did not write.

hope all that helps.

ruuk

[Livin]

i reinstalled fresh and changed the xml file this time...
no workie.

maybe you can put in some error trapping to give better on-screen and in xbmc log error codes?

[HarshReality]

so, let me see if i understand this....

as it stands if i compile a new build and store it in a given location (and of course edit the config for this app to reflect that) then i can use the updater to fetch it from my network and update it automatically?

if the above is true, does the updater work with archives and perhaps rename the default.xbe if i am using it as a dash?

[Livin]

harsh,
yes... just look at my config file...
