I can confirm that the python scripts are working!
Thank You sebt3
where is this developer fund I can donate to?
Now I just need to figure out how to make it run pnd's...
You can help!
xbmc doesn't launch any programs except .xbe natively.
That's why someone made a python addon that will actually launch applications. You can even use it to select roms and launch the correct emulator.
Only problem is xbmc for the pandora ATM doesn't support addons. I can...
Hey that's fine... I'm just betting if enough people are interested someone will take the mantle, so to speak.
But for me personally if I can use the launcher plugin I'm sure it would work fine for me. I personally don't use my pandora to watch movies or play music so I can wait on DSP Video...
Here's a skin I found that's supposed to be optimized for touchscreens. I'm gonna keep looking and will post what I find here...

Now this looks great! This skin is called 7TFT and is optimized for small screens...
Me and sebt3 are trying to get XBMC to launch PNDs
I was just curious though... how many people would seriously be interested in using xbmc as a frontend similar to how minimenu is?
Yep... there was another one called executor. I was actually able to download the plugin from xbmc but it wouldn't launch either.
Now doesn't xbmc have some kind of native way to launch .xbe's? Can't you change it to launch pnd's?
Or is launching python scripts going to be working sometime in...
I followed these instructions
Installation:
1. unzip the file into Plugins/Program directory.
2. (linux users only): create a symlink for /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4 named /usr/lib/libcurl.so (run: "sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4 /usr/lib/libcurl.so" in terminal)
3. Run XBMC:
3.1. Switch to MC360...
Okay I'm going to try and get my hands dirty and do this...
this is the plugin that can launch stuff
http://code.google.com/p/xbmc-launcher/
It says it can launch a file with arguments...
So my question is this.
What arguments are needed to actually launch a PND?
Edit: Just tried looking at...
Okay I'll mess around with it... but I have a feeling it won't just launch a pnd... but we'll see ;)
Also something like this is what I would imagine my pandora setup to look lik 8)
Edit: Was reading the documentation... what arguments are needed to make a pnd run from a terminal?

This link seems to suggest it can be changed in the boot parameters.
