Using RunScript to call service addons, plugins and other non-script addons is deprecated. Add xbmc.python.script or xbmc.python.library extension point if addon should be runnable via RunScript.
Changes to python path
All installed module addons are no longer added to the python path, only those imported in Addon.xml.
If you use RunScript with a file path and depend on other installed module addons this behavior is deprecated. Add xbmc.python.script or xbmc.python.library extension point and call RunScript with the addon ID instead.
