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.

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.

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?

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.

In anycase, your script works great!!!! (Got sopranos with it, couple small test files too) One question though is what happens to those crappy slow torrents? Successful torrents say "bittorrent.py Running" during entire process. But other torrents (That I can load on my PC) only flash "Running" beside the script briefly.
(These are weak torrents don't get me wrong) If you can tell me why that happens, and possibly how to force it to keep trying to connect for days that would be cool. Anyways, I'm gonna go look into that again right now.
Post by: alx5962 on March 14, 2004, 10:02:00 AM
So maybe the problem is your torrent file? If the download is ok on another bittorrent client send it to me (but only if it's not copyrighted stuff)
Also be sure to have the latest version of my script.
Post by: alx5962 on March 14, 2004, 11:17:00 AM
So no documentation is needed, just launch them.
And unluckily there's no place for xbmc scripts, even more only few people are coding using python xbmc

If you need to do xbox to xbox, try enabling FXP in xbmc's ftp server (filezilla server.xml) then you can use a pc client like flashfxp to setup the direct transfer between the two xboxes.

I think you'll run out of memory very quickly with multiple torrents. Each socket uses a fair sized chunk of memory for buffering, and a single torrent can easily reach 50+ sockets.

Perhaps we need to start a new thread with a somewhat more "sexy and selling" name as the current thread indicates that the Python scripts are only about Bittorrent downloading. What about "Cool extensions to the XBMC"?

I just tried your new script for Google News. It started without any problem. A couple of issues though:
The news are aligned fully to the left. A little leading space would be nice.
Help text - my suggestion: "Left - Previous category | Right - Next category | Back to quit"
Font sizes - it's a bit strange that the font size for the help text at the bottom is larger than the font size for the actual information.
The background is a bit "dull". It would be nice to have more backgrounds to choose from. I'm willing to create some if you want to.
I fiddled around with your script. I know absolutely nothing about Python script but managed to edit what I wanted in regards of the design (the last thing I'm looking for is a transparant logo for Google...). Let me know if you want to review my edits.

I edited the script to include your suggestions about text and size.
About background, now there's a background directory so replace the current jpg with your own.
Sometimes text is not aligned because the script has to manage different language and so different size. It would be a lot of work fornothing really important to change this.
Such feedback is good, I wish I could have more like these

Did you upload using pserver (anon) CVS? Cos if so any changes you make are discarded - sourceforge only allows read-access with pserver.
If you want some scripts put into CVS, you should submit them as a patch on the XBMC sourceforge site.

could u send it to me please?
so it will be the official skin
Also if you have a editable file can you send it too ? as I want to keep french text ability.
Since a week, each time I update my scripts I added a 'background' folder as I know some people like to change background image, but you're the first I noticed to use it !
I'm so proud to have infos about scripts on the main page for sure
I hope more people will code new scripts!Tidusblitz111 : only France related scripts (like fench tv guide) are in french. But now I always add an english readme with every script.

But a forum is not the best place for a tutorial and I admit i'm not a Python guru at all (i started to learn python language 2 months ago).

the start up sound is not working i have XBMC on /F/dashboards/XBox Media Center/
Phyton is on /F/dashboards/XBox Media Center/python/
The files in python are Lib , spyce , temp and python23.zlib
the sound thing is on /F/dashboards/XBox Media Center/scripts/startupsound/
in there is the mp3 , the autoexect.py and mp3.py
i edited the mp3.py to look for the mp3 on q:\\scripts\\startupsound\\startup.mp3
It works if i select it on the menu , but it doesnt play when i start XBMC , i edited the autoexect.py and put it in startupsounds folder and on scripts , still doesnt play.
what seems to be the problem?

So the first thing is to read the readme included!
Then you need the last CVS of XBMC 9/03/04 and python.rar included in 09/02.
kaisersose77 : everything is explained in the readme.
http.www means nothing btw , correct syntax is http://www
Matty B : no new tv guide planned for now, as i'm working on an email reader
The net test script tries to retrieve : http://www.google.com/images/logo.gif (dns ok)
if it fails it tries: http://66.102.9.104/images/logo.gif (no dns)
and if thisone fails 'no internet'
Xbox-Savage autoexec HAS to be in the script directory (respect the tree of the rar file).
Ina personal note, I 'm using the 16/03 xbmc + 09/02 python i set up the dns inthe xboxmediacenter.xml file.

source = '' <- this means display a file selector
destination = 'E:\\Games\\' <- where the downloadedfile go
dirselect = 'E:\\test\\' <- file selector folder
so it will display all the .torrent files in 'E:\\test\\'
then select the torrent file you wish to download.
If the script stops it means your torrent file has abnormal format.

I can understand your reluctance to keep on developing and doing all the tech support for these scripts all by yourself. I know youve been asking for help, and some are stepping up as they are able, so hopefully all that will help at some point. Like the above poster said, just stop answering them so often. I guess what you really need is a go to guy, one person you can point to to answer any tech support type questions, even tho you do include a good readme with your scripts. Could I just suggest you write your scripts, release to one or two people who in turn will be the ones to answer the questions raised. That in of itself sounds like a lot of work to just get going, who to choose and all that, would anyone do it and be reliable enough, as well as do they already have to much on thier plate already, but its a suggestion.
If not, thank for the pioneering spirit youve shown on getting the development as far as you have. Its already the best addition to XBMC Ive seen outside of their dev team. Hopefully any one who has decided to bone up on Python will in turn keep on making new scripts and people will just learn to do a little more research on thier own to figure everything out.

for the first:
self.strAction = xbmcgui.ControlLabel(57, 394, 100, 20, '', 'font14', 'FFFFFFFF')
and for the second:
self.strActionEmail = xbmcgui.ControlLabel(57, 424, 100, 20, '', 'font14', 'FFFFFFFF')
by the way as you may notice the color hex code is different I choose to make mines white to match the rest of my XBMC skin hope this helps anyone who had my problem by the way I got the xbox running on a 32" TV
also for those who use the RSS Feed script thought I would share these backends with you guys to use with the script http://rss.syntechsoftware.com this site contains backends to Nforce, VCDQuality and some other cool sites.

It is coded badly!!!
Its ongoing (At this point it can only access and download torrents from the list_news page).
It needs a place to live (I have no way of hosting it)
It's bugs are not the fault of Alx5962!
I'm also nearly done programming in the ability to browse the entire local system for torrent files, should have that today too. And I'm pretty close to finding a way to have output updated to xbmc windows.
All this Python is coming together for me. I also wanna write a torrent editor/creator for xbmc. If anyone has a page for scripts (Alx, or whoever else) let me know where to send them. And anyone who thinks they can help bridging python and javascripts let me know...

I did that last night for both torrents and the actual files. I needed to to get any success with internet torrent sites. I have most of the filename glitches captured. With my latest addditions I've only found one torrent file that had a name that I couldn't parse.
I hope I don't get bitched at by ops, but Alx's Bitbox with my additions are on ftp
24.103.208.82

Its the only actual file on the acct, so I don't think I'm breaking any rules. I'll take it down if Braham Cohen or Alx ask me to.

I'm just getting started.. I'll email you the updated bittorrent.py, and a mirrors.ini file so you can add them to your site. As for the documentation, I'm not sure which docs you are talking about. Your code is what I mainly used to figure out the xbmc/xbmcgui modules at first. So seeing as I haven't been fluent in french for almost 10 years now, and I managed to learn from your french scripts. I'd say you did an ok job. You wouldn't want to have to do that with my code I guarantee!

Whatever, I don't care about distibution that much.. I'm willing to share, but not gonna do all the work.. Only 1 person has hit my ftp. I purposely tried to dumb the code down for the sake of others learning. I've been tweaking my own copy to be super streamlined. I was always annoyed by theclock hijacking. My next scipt will be either an Xbox-scene topic reader, or a voice chat script. (useless without 2 usb mics.) Haven't decided which one I want more yet, and haven't actually figured out if xbmc specifics are gonna screw my voicechat plan.. The X-S reader is simple but time consuming its actually a good starting script for learning ppl (hint)
BTW Alx how does that script work for you. There are a couple of flaws (like if the torrent name contains "at(" but I'll burn that bridge later, right now I wanna leech files..

Was kinda wondering due to the lack of traffic. Wierd though, I've used that server for years so I'm pretty sure its setup right. Besides, one person loged in as snbitbox and got the files. Screw the ftp, it will be at that link soon.

You answered your own question. And there is no more convenient way. I too would like to see the scripts more directly accessible in xbmc. If you primarily use scripts, then you might set your start window in the xml file. You can also use the autoexec.py script if you want autostart
Actually, is there a way to invoke python in shortcuts? I don't think there is, but tht would be sweet!-

YAY it was just the mirrors.ini file.. (Why do I fear that I'm gonna have to tell 354765i ppl to edit that file) Anyways I'm uploading it now.
Bugs:
- Does not yet autoupdate mirrors.ini
- Will not correctly parse torrent names containing "at(" (Possibly more)
- Will not handle multifile torrents (yet)
- Will freeze if you check info while "Checking existing file"
- Pressing "Back" while at a selection list selects current item
- Will not stop script while downloading torrent list (Freezes at "Stopping")
- Will take forever to reload info if you leave it on the info screen for too long
- List downloading is kinda glitchy if the connection lags. Try again... (Gotta figure out http errors with FancyURLopener() )
- If fewer items appear than are supposed to then the script will freeze when
you scrolls to the bottom item
-If all else fails, rebbot xbox to close/unlock open files, and delete. (This used to solve problems. I think I've eliminated the usefulness of this step)
*****Incomplete*****

I just gotta thank alx for doing the initial work for me.. Actually as soon as I heard xbmc handled python it clicked that Bittorrent was written in it and I started doing what Alx did, although it probably would have been another piece in my gallery of nearly finished programs.. As far as the mirrors go, I don't think its a matter of collection.. At any given time there are like 2 diff mirrors thats the torrents are on. This morning when I fell out of bed I couldn't get any torrents. So I got pissed off and went ahead and screwed up my working code cause I couldn't remember what I had changed while I was drunk last night.
Anyways I glanced at the mirrors and the domains were the same, but the directory structure had changed (See mirrors.ini). Had I followed my own advice I could have saved myself a couple hours of work (and stress about being flamed for sending ppl garbage)
Actually, there must be a way to collect the proper mirror from the page (there are some numbers I couldn't figure out, try viewing the torrentlist.htm file in a text editor. torrents start with "at(" and end with a semicolon. Its pretty simple when you separate the lines) Please help me figure this out
Hopefully tommorow we should be able to support multifile torrents (I have the pseudocode worked out to be super easy to read the .torrent, I just hope I don't have issues with crashes from too many open files) Python exhibits some behaviour that really confuses me. Like my bug with the torrent list downloading when its quick its bug free, but it will sometimes stall and then return like 4-150 torrents then crash when I scroll to the end of them. I try again with the exact same list, from the exact same site and its lickity split.
BTW Get up, go out, explore... Trust me there are things out there that not even the most comfortable couch can replace.
Post by: triggernum5 on April 04, 2004, 07:00:00 AM
This replace will almost guarantee safety:
Line 120:
torrentfile = torrentfile[:25] + torrentfile[len(torrentfile) - 16:]
Line 171:
finalname = finalname[:25] + finalname[len(finalname) - 16:]

my script page will be online for a long time so no need to worry, and the lil arrow is there to download.
Sport scores? first you need to choose a sport but of course it would be possible to create a script to have them. But why to not use the xbox internet browser to get them? I think python scripts should be used for non existing things instead of things like this.
There's many possibilities to create things with Python and i'm not sure sport score is the most important script to create for now.
But it should not be very hard to create so read the tutorial and try to code it yourself

it's an email client that must read most of the emails (from plain to html).
It's very buggy but i will not correct it so take it as it is. I noticed some good python coders here so they may update it if they wish.
python email client
And don't email me or send message about update. If this script doesn't work or the email body is weird it's normal as it's a very early beta script.

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

| 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 good job though solving it

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

Can you add a funtion to check if there is any media playing, or XBMC has been idle?

I'm sure you can write a script to do that with existing modules.

Darkie just added one so wait for the next binaries release of XBMC.
Post by: alx5962 on April 16, 2004, 04:17:00 AM
It's an early beta so it's very buggy for now.
Don't bug me about updates, just feel lucky to have this beta script
Just edit the script and edit the directory with your torrents files, then download will be placed there.
More torrents files = more memory so XBMC may crashes!
Anyway, this scirpt was just a proof of concept and I may never update it again.

When you say crash, you mean xbmc crashes and you have to reset the xbox?

Yea, I found that bug. It happens if you try to view the script output while it is still checking the existing file. 625 MB can take a really long time. Don't check the status until you see the network light going. It takes me about 5 min to recheck 350MB be patient.

Well you could calculate it by checking the percentage intervals between updates once the checking is done. I believe the default time between updates to the output is 60 seconds.

| triggernum5 - have you figured out the new ** DO NOT ATTEMPT TO POST LINK TO THAT WAREZ TORRENT SITE ** directory structure yet? |
Well, about a week ago they changed the string that denotes the start of a new item to the script..
Change:
line#85 tntnum = string.count(tntstring, 'at(')
to tntnum = string.count(tntstring, 'at2(')
line#93 fieldstart = string.find(tntstring, 'at(', fieldstart)
to fieldstart = string.find(tntstring, 'at2(', fieldstart)
I've found the site to be unresponsive alot lately. Its been up since about 2:00pm GMT-5h today. Sorry if I didn't post this already, I thought I had. BTW. I'm guessing these changes will be common. If you look in the torrentlist.htm file downloaded you can figure out any minor changes easily enough.-

I think I have just found a bug. Where if the yac listener script is listening(running) in the background and you go and watch a movie and a call comes in or so you then wont be able to use your controller/dvd remote to pause play stop the movie... The movie will continue to play fine but you can not use your controller/remote at all only thing you can do is reset the xbox or shut it off and reboot

Are you sure you can't use it AT ALL? With other scripts I find that the script will hog the cpu and I need to repeatedly press buttons to get a response. (Basically frozen, not truly) Try pressing a button a few hundred times to see if its truly frozen, or if its bogged. When I use bitxbox I find that the movie playback doesn't suffer at all, but it doesn't like to accept input either.

as sad in the doc , it's a very basic YAC listener in early stage so don't expect to have a perfect script for now.
But the script is released under GPL and everyone is allowed to make it nicer.
In a side note, when I wrote it and tested it, i haven't noticed such problem with it.

First off, many thanks to alx5962 for his excellent work! I just had a question about all the other scripts in my scripts dir. I only use bitxbox.py for downloading torrents, so do I need all the other scripts or can I delete them? I just didn't know if they had any associations or if it is safe to delete them. If you could please let me know if this is okay, I would appreicate it. Thanks again, this is great. No more noisy PC to get torrents.
