addon: kodi.script.ambibox
Hello,
It seems that I may have been violating a rule for some time, but only
recently has it come to light that it is causing a bug.
In order to provide user specific data on my addon's settings page, I have
been programmatically changing the settings.xml file using
ElementTree.parse(). Since this is a service addon, this occurs during
startup.
Specifically, I have been changing the values= field for a labelenum type
to reflect valid choices that are specific and unique to each user's system.
I just discovered here:
http://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on_Standards#Requirements_for_scripts_and_plugins
<http://s.bl-1.com/h/r3ocMpr?url=http://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on_Standards#Requirements_for_scripts_and_plugins>
that this isn't allowed. Some, but not all, users just started experiencing
an error "IOError: file() constructor not accessible in restricted mode" when
the addon tries to parse the settings.xml file.
So two questions:
1) As stated on the above referenced page, can I get some kind of special
papal dispensation :) to allow me to continue to do this?
2) If not, am I missing some other simple way of customizing the
settings.xml file programmatically at runtime?
Thanks,
Ken
