Own repository, struggling to install add-ons from it
#1
Hello,

I'm trying to develop an add-on, and to make it ready for updates, I want to distribute it through my own repository.
Just looking from other repositories, I found some examples to create my own. This works, and I can see my add-ons being listed in Kodi.

The weird thing now, is that it tries to download the add-on, but does not install it.
The kodi.log sais the following:

22:39:59 T:7252 DEBUG: FileManager: copy https://raw.github.com/beerkeeper/xbmc-r...-1.0.0.zip -> special://home/addons/packages/plugin.audio.radionl-1.0.0.zip
22:39:59 T:7252 DEBUG: CurlFile::Open(094AB7F0) https://raw.github.com/beerkeeper/xbmc-r...-1.0.0.zip

22:40:01 T:7892 DEBUG: ParentPath = [addons://repository.beerkeeper/xbmc.addon.audio]
22:40:01 T:3408 NOTICE: Thread BackgroundLoader start, auto delete: false
22:40:01 T:3408 DEBUG: Thread BackgroundLoader 3408 terminating

I can see the file popping up in explorer for a second. Maybe Kodi cleans it up when it fails? But I don't see any additional log entries.
The file itself can be perfectly installed as an add-on through "install zip file", so that cannot be the problem I guess.

Please help Smile

Can you post the repo zip
have you tried removing the add-on from your kodi, then restarting kodi?

here ya go..
this is the structure directory.
http://xbmc-addon.googlecode.com/svn/Other/



here is the zipped directory.
http://xbmc-addon.googlecode.com/svn/Oth...ucture.zip
this is getting the plugin from your repo.
on the directory structure, I added the repo as a zip also.


I just tried it and it works for me, I even installed the addon.
