    Intro:
    This script is designed to play a video playlist from start to finish, interrupting it at given intervals (default is 4 minutes) to display a still JPG image (for advertising purposes). These images should be placed in the "F:/ads/" directory on the XBox.

    Installation and Operation:
    In order for the script to run properly, "AdToVideo.py" should be copied to your XBMC installation's "/scripts/AdToVideo/" subfolder, and a working video playlist named "movies.m3u" needs to exist in the same folder. Add the JPG images to an "ads" folder on the F: drive, as described above.

    If you want to use another type of playlist file (supported by XBMC), replace ".m3u" in line 22 with the appropriate file suffix.

    This script also requires an additional library I've written, transitions (download). You can find "transitions.rar" on my website, if you don't already have it. It contains a single library script ("transitions.py"), as well as a subfolder that contains 101 .PNG images necessary to create fade transitions, as well as a "readme.txt" file. Copy the Python script as well as the "Fade" subfolder (with ALL its images) into your XBMC's "/python/Lib/" subfolder.

    Known Issues:
    • This program is meant to autorun uninterupted. It will currently probably crash your XBox if you try to stop the script during play. Instead, I recommend a controller restart any time you wish to interrupt AdToVideo.


    Future Development:
    I developed AdToVideo entirely as a custom script request (as described on my home page). Future development depends on the needs of j0ly who requested its development (or general interest, if there is any...).
