Are you ditching the coding scene for a while?  Or are you just sick of the easy time consuming stuff?

- It was a pain to manage all the emails received with stupid questions inside
- bored of people complaining all the time when the answer is in the readme
- motivation to code is gone now so. The only thing I may update is the documentation
- and now people can code themself, they have everything to do so.

Anyway i'm off for some days as I need surgery so my mind is not into Python for now.

I learnt a lot with Python coding, but I also learnt how annoying it can be for developers to manage lazy people. So in the future I will no more give my email address or keep my code for myself. I thought at first it was nice to share but now I know I was wrong. I thought I could have nice feedback and constuctive ideas but it was never like this most of the time. I talked to some other dev of the xbox scene and they told me it's the same for them. So I guess one day they will stop coding too because of those stupid/lazy people.

I might have solved my own problem. I commented out the line where the IP_TOS parameter is set in rawserver.py (simply put a # on the beginning of the line) and it seems to work! I guess the IP_TOS (IP Type Of Service apparently) is not that important? The error messages have vanished and I get the feeling that my download rates have increased. I'll let it be over night and I'll post my results tomorrow...
Later!

I'm impressed..  I have never once seen that error, I'm gonna play around with rawserver.py and see what happens.  I personally have no problem replying to errors that aren't trivial such as path errors, router etc as there might be something to learn.  As for the download speeds, I think everyone goes through what you do.  I do notice some major diffs between clients, but in general sometimes I'm the leech, sometimes I get leeched from.  Wierd thing is, I have good weeks and bad weeks moreso than good minutes and bad minutes..
What is your ISP, router, xbox version, bios, and are you running xbmc as app or dash?Are you directly connected to the router, or statically forwarded?  Any wireless connections between the xbox and routerIts odd that you get errors I do not considering xboxes are basically identical.  I'd like to peg this down cause I have noticed some really wierd behavior with python's internet modules that doesn't register as an error.
BTW there is an April 3rd xbmc on bittorrent, although 03-09 should be fine.  And the 03-27 build is availiable with a new onscreen keyboard python.rar although it might just be an upgrade..  Is there anything in the python.rar that the ops here don't like us to link to?  If they say thats ok then I can update you

CODE
IP_TOS
crazy errors as well to the point i stopped using it. What was odd is if i didnt have the ports for bittorrents open i didnt get them... which made it go extremely slow though. When i opened the ports and restarted the bittorrent it would get so many ip_tos errors xbmc would freeze up. I asked about it a few times with no solution. I was gona try editing the rawserver but i figured eh ill just use this on the pc tongue.gif good job though solving it  biggrin.gif

Now that is strange..  To be honest I'm not sure what ports I have open on my router..  I'm not concerned with security, so other than Mac filtering for my wireless I basically work on an open door policy.  So anyways, you huys are on the same page as me, but you didn't post your info.

I'm on cable,
Linksys - B wireless router,
xbox 1.0,
4981.67
Using xbmc as Dash from c:
No wireless conection between xbox/router
When plugged to router its great
When statically patched via proxy its buggy (
I've had success with 02-12, 03-08, 03-09, 03-17, 03-23, 03-27, 04-03 (Not all are official I know)
Oh and what have you read about this?  Anything?

I updated the documentation to reflect the latest changes on Python.

I will only reply to questions regarding this documentation now here so no need to ask infos about all other things.

If you've ever been in a position even remotely silmilar to Alx's, then you'd understand how badly you can be swarmed by ppl asking the DUMBEST questions.  (If it includes paths or firewalls or personal settings, don't ask me either).  So until I get annoyed I will try to answer intelligent questions if I can. After that we're gonna need another coder to take up the slack.  BTW, has anybody else been working on any scripts?  I've been stuck trying to get multifile torrents working. (Well, it works technically, but sooo buggy.  I'm thinking it will be time to give up soon), I was thinking about trying to make an xbox RAR/ISO extractor script next.  Any suggestions or help would be nice..

Has anyone been able to get Xbox Media Center (XBMC) 04-10-2004-rar.torrent using the script?  The mirrors needed to be updated, but it seems this one file is being tricky.  Its either an http error, filename issue, or a typo I keep overlooking.  I downloaded it from same location with PC.  Granted, I haven't slept in a while, so its probably something dumb on my part.  Just posting here to see if its universal.

is there a win32 or linux build of the guilib for faster development?

Sure there is. Read the excellent tutorial written by Alex on his web site.

No it's not the guilib library on my site, just the documentation !
XBMC libs are not ported on PC yet

my method to write scripts :
i write them using console mode under windows and then i port them on XBMC.
So almost no debug on Xbox.


About Python, even if i don't really create new scripts for now, I decided to work on a bigger step : XBMC itself smile.gif Very basics things for now but that way I will be able to add functions I need in the xbmc/xbmcgui library.  I'm not a very good C++ dev, and XBMC is a very huge project and very hard to understand the sources but for now everything I wanted to add is working  smile.gif


riffraff don't take it like this, it 's always nice to help people and I appreciate you do this.
