Hey all, Suilenroc here. This is my first post on the Boxee forums. I'm also a new user, so don't delve into some crazy Boxee-specific technical babble right off. ;) (I'm not a noob though, I can learn.)

So what I'm trying to do is install the NBC UNIVERSAL plugin. I've figured it all out, except for the most important step...downloading the damn thing. I have a feeling that I'm missing something major, but I just can't seem to download it from the XBMC SVN repository. I've never used SVN before, so it's completely alien to me. I tried installing the SCPlugin for Finder, and I used the "checkout" command to see the file structure of a repository.

(Specifically: http://xbmc-addons.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/plugins/ )

So now I have what looks like a local copy of the SVN repo structure on my Mac, but it appears to be read only. Really, I just need to find out how to copy a directory from an SVN repo. But I've had no luck doing that.

Thanks for any help!

Update: I'm pretty sure I have the files stored locally now. I've edited the sources.xml file, and the NBC Universal logo is showing up in the internet->videos screen. However, when I click it, I get the spinny white circle of loadingness for about a half second, and then it just returns to the previous screen. The descriptor.xml file is there, too, copied from another thread.

I have no idea why this wouldn't be working...
