Hello thanks for the file but could you be a little more clear as to where I copy this file to?

Because I can not seem to find the directory that you are talking about.

Thanks Smile


RE: [RELEASE] Free Cable - US station aggregator - moontan77 - 2013-02-07

depends on what xbmc version you are using (windows/linux etc) but whichever one you are using you copy it to wherever the addons folder is - /addons/plugin.video.free.cable/resources/lib/

RE: [RELEASE] Free Cable - US station aggregator - phanim - 2013-02-10

I am a newbie and trying to get the free cable or cablegator. Went to the unofficial add-on repo and downloaded, installed bluecop's repo.
Added this repo by clicking "Install from zip file". Then tried to enable video add-ons but this bluecop repo shows empty.
Can some one point me to get this freecable add-on?
Thanks and much appreciated.

Welcome to the XBMC forums, phanim.

Try a "Force refresh" on the repository. System/Settings > Add-ons > Get add-ons > highlight the Bluecop repository and open its context menu ("c" on keyboard or right mouse click) and select "Force refresh".

FWIW you may also need to do this a couple of times and/or exit and restart XBMC a time or two for this to work. That was my experience at least, but ultimately it did work.
