v17 Beta 4 won't install skin add-on from local zip
#1
Attempting to install a skin from local zip file into Kodi beta 4 running in portable mode on windows 7 x64. Install fails. Nightly 1022 is the last master build that will install this zip file. Trac ticket http://trac.kodi.tv/ticket/17014 opened on this. See ticket for debug log. This is the error entry:

Code:
ERROR: XFILE::CDirectory::Create - Error creating E:\Media\Kodi 17 B4\portable_data\temp\61f7e13d-5748-45f0-8bb8-26d377114575\720p

I then installed my repo from local zip, and tried to install the skin add-on via my repo but that also failed with the same error of being unable to create the 720p subfolder. Debug log from this attempt is here: http://pastebin.com/Y5VrjpzE

Dub question: Have you checked the setting to allow installation for SW from "unknown sources" ?? That "feature" was added to V17.

I have the same issue. Unknown sources is enabled.

You can create a folder 'temp' inside the userdata folder restart Kodi and the update and install should work. This is a known issue but can be solved by creating the temp folder.

At least with beta 5, creating the temp folder does allow updates/installs of add-ons. I don't think the issue is really "solved" yet though.

There's a pull request made with a fix, which should go into the next beta and nightlies once it's merged.

I tested it in a one-off windows build and it seems to solve all the install issues.
