Description

Hi,

Maybe I'm going mad here, but I think Python os.name used to return "xbox", now it returns "nt" value.

See test script code attached.

I need a way to different between platforms, I could maybe look for something else, but there might be other scripts/plugins out there relying on this.

Thanks,
Dan

I don't know if this will help with anything, but a change might need to be applied in xbmc\system\python\python24.zlib to os.py.

Thanks,

Maybe I was wrong... Anyways, I think I found a better way using os.environ.get("OS") which seems to be set by XBMC, that returns "xbox" correctly.

Please feel free to close this ticket.

thanks,
dan
