writing a freevo plugin

This is more freevo specific then python specific. If any of you have written any plugins for freevo maybe you can see what I am doung wrong.
below is my code

Code:

#!/usr/bin/env python

#

# this is my first attempt to make a freevo plugin



import os

import plugin

import config



class PluginInterface(plugin.ItemPlugin):

    """

    this is a test plugin to see if I can add a command to the menu

    """

    def __init__(self):

        plugin.ItemPlugin.__init__(self)



    def actions(self, item):

        return [ (self.test_command, "shane's command") ]



    def test_command(self):

        item = self.item

        os.system('touch %s'%item.filename)

I am getting this error in my freevo log

Code:

    action( arg=arg, menuw=self )

  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/freevo/menu.py", line 87, in select

    self.function(arg=self.arg, menuw=menuw)

TypeError: test_command() got an unexpected keyword argument 'arg'

any suggestions would be appreciated

I figured out what I was doing wrong. I did not have self.item set to any thing

I changed that code from this

Code:

def actions(self, item):

        return [ (self.test_command, "shane's command") ]

Code:

def actions(self, item):

        self.item = item

        return [ (self.test_command, "shane's command") ]

freevo is great, it makes adding feature very easy. I now should be able to add my python script that makes mplayer conf files to crop avi files

If you have any questions, I have alot of experience with Freevo plugins. I am starting a help page specifically for Freevo. http://freevohelp.com
