Same issue here. I'm running XBMX v12.0 Frodo RC on Ubuntu 12.04. Is this 
add-on still being maintained?

I don't think this addon is being maintained. But fortunately I've found an 
alternative SBS plugin for XBMC which I've installed and it works. For anyone 
else who's looking, you can find it, and others, at

Comment #7 is very helpful and I confirm the alternate SBS addon also works for 
me.
