Help - Addon does not have correct structure - gbzygil - 2013-02-21

Hi,
I created my first video addon.
It simply goes to a website, fetch video links (mov files).
Trying to install it on xbmc12 and i'm getting "Addon does not have correct structure" error.

zip file name : plugin.video.passioncitychurch.zip

contents : addon.xml , addon.py

addon.xml has :

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

<addon id="plugin.video.passioncitychurch" name="Passion City Church Messages Addons" version="1.0.0" provider-name="gbzygil">

  <extension point="xbmc.python.pluginsource" library="addon.py">

    <provides>video</provides>

  </extension>

  <extension point="xbmc.addon.metadata">

    <language></language>

    <platform>all</platform>

    <summary lang="en">XBMC Addon for Passion City Church weekly messages</summary>

    <description lang="en">This addon shows you weekly message videos from Passioncitychurch.com</description>

  </extension>

</addon>

Can someone plz tell me what i am doing wrong?

Thanks....

Thanks for your reply.
Still no luck Sad

Tried renaming the zip to : plugin.video.passioncitychurch-1.0.0.zip that didnt help too....

Check /addons/packages/ and remove any zip of your add-on.

Install an XP VM and did the same thing there, and now it gets installed !!! I guess mac was doing something more during compression which xbmc didnt like.
Now more road blocks.
1. Getting script error while trying to run the addon. Where do i see script error logs ? (is it xbmc.log?)
2. I didnt have an icon initially. Uninstalled the addon, added an icon,png, updated the Addon name in the xml and re-installed the addon. Still i do not see the icon \ new script name. (Tried restarting XBMC, no luck). How can i clear the cache ?

Well, i figured out how to enable debugging, setting loglevel and setting icon\fanart.
Thanks

if you wer zipping in mac os it normally creates a

ds.store folder

thats why it wont install

just delete textures.db and addons.db from

userdata/Database
