Hi all, I customized a copy of the Estuary skin a couple of years ago and now I can't remember how to get it installed on a new Kodi machine. Currently working on a Windows machine, but can't get it working under LibreElec, either.

I currently have the skin folder copied from a working LibreElec to my Windows userdata folder, but it doesn't show up under Settings->Interface->Skin or Add-Ons/My Add-Ons/Look and Feel/Skin. Can anyone help jog my memory a bit about how to get the skin registered in Kodi?

Zip it up and Install from Zip should do it.

Also when installing addon its gets installed at \AppData\Roaming\Kodi\addons.

\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\userdata\addon_data\ is data for addons eg skins settings .

Yep, the above is corrent, if you'd put the skin.estuary.chuck in the correct folder then it would have appeared under Myaddons

But I think normally it would show as disabled and you have to enable it in myaddons before it is available in the interface settings.
