Can't install .zip add-on: "invalid structure" - plucka - 2020-06-24
I have an add on which isnt maintined and I've made a fix.
I wish to zip it up and install on my Nvidia Shield, but when I zip it and install I get
Can't install .zip add-on: "invalid structure"
The original structure of the zip hasnt changed, Ive literally changed 3 lines in 2 files
Is there a special way I need to zip the file or something else I need to change?

In being so mysterious and uninformative, there is not much we can do.
"I've changed something." Right... Which add-on is this about?

Its the callback plugin, there is a fix on github for it but the author hasnt pulled.
I downloaded the zip, extracted applied the fix, zipped it up again and it doesnt recgonise the new zip

Your post got me thinking that the structure had changed and indeed I had one too many folder depth
When I extracted package.name it extracted into folder package.name which contained package.name
When zipping I was zipping the outer folder rather than the inner folder this was the issue thanks for help
