Login at Kodi Home

bimple · (This post was last modified: 2017-11-06, 07:23 by bimple.)

I created a repo on github for some (legal) youtube-based Kodi add-ons that I created. The repo installs fine, and it lists all of the files, however when I go to install any of them it fails. Can someone please take a look at my addon.xml file and tell me what I am doing wrong? Please feel free to make any corrections to my file. I appreciate the help.

I have roughly 25 add-ons, and have been trying to get my repo to work. I have uploaded the files to github

I can see that the addons.xml and addons md5 files are viewable, and the directory on github is accessible, but when I connect on kodi it shows the addons, as well as a thumbnail, but doesn't return a description, and fails on download.

These are the URL's I am using:
https://github.com/somethingelsepromotio...addons.xml
https://github.com/somethingelsepromotio...ns.xml.md5
https://github.com/somethingelsepromotio...ster/zips/

Are you using a script to generate the md5 hashses and zip files?
They may be out of sync hence the fail to download.

Not sure if it writes out to debug low - maybe take a look there though to confirm the issue.

There is a nice python file which does this for you - a quick google will find it, shout if you cant locate it

bimple · 2018-01-09, 17:12

thanks for the reply, no I was using a md5 app to create the hashes, I will try the python script and see if that works
