XBMC-Python Scripting TutorialThe XBMC-Python Scripting Tutorial is an introductory set of lessons intended to take a beginner with virtually no programming experience and introduce him to the fundamental tools and concepts necessary to write basic Python scripts for use with XBMC's Python port.The steps included in this lesson include an introduction to each of the basic control objects (like Lists, Buttons, and Textboxes), as well as the interactive Dialogs and some data-gathering functions. All of this information is presented in a simple, progressive structure, with fully scripted examples at every step of the way.

The "xbmc" library offers classes and functions that provide information about the media currently playing and that allow manipulation of the media player (such as starting a new song). You can also find system information using the functions available in this library. View the makedoc for more information.

The "xbmcgui" library offers classes and functions that manipulate the Graphical User Interface through windows, dialogs, and varius control widgets. (The members of xbmcgui are used heavily in the Tutorial.) View the makedoc for more information.Download: Download both Makedocs View Online: HTML Document |
