Script Subtitles

What XBMC requires for your add-on
For XBMC to know what to do with your addon, we require your script, and an addon.xml file. See here for more information on addon.xml, including how you add descriptions to your addon for users. A plugin source extends XBMC via the xbmc.python.subtitles extension point. The layout of the XML describing this extension point is as follows:

list of extension points and their explanation:

"xbmc.python.script"         This is the standard Script extension point

Interacting with XBMC
Given that your script can return information to the user, you may wish to allow some (or all) of the information you provide to be translatable. You do this by providing a strings.xml file (in resources/language//strings.xml) which associates integer id's with each label. XBMC then handles loading these string files and ensuring that the users' locale information is taken into account. To display strings you use the getString function in the xbmcaddon module.
