Plex Media Center

I fixed a few more issues with Python, and now Apple Movies Trailers work! Browsing, playing, it all works. I did need to replace some of the Python libraries in the downloaded script with the OS X version. This raises the issue of how to support downloading scripts for different platforms, when the scripts need binary components.

The good news is that I’ve made substantial progress in getting Python to work in OSXBMC. The bad news? I’m now addicted to the Tetris script and likely won’t get much more work done this weekend.

There are still some issues to be figured out, but hopefully I’ll be able to make a release this coming week with Python enabled.

(This also means that the Mach-O processor that wraps some stdio/stdlib calls seems to be working, which means that the full power of XBMC’s virtual file system should work once I run the processor on all the libraries. Which means thumbnails over SMB and probably lot of other things.)

Now I have to get back to Tetris.
