Is Chorus2 left out from the standard install in v20?

I've installed v20 on both Win and macOS but no files found in the addons folder (ie webinterface.chorus2). The old webinterface.chorus works if downloaded separately.

Solved it by coping webinterface.default from the Nexus repro on Github. Still no idea why this wasn't brought in by the standard install.

Unbelievably confusing, are you talking about this one from last year that says 19x-2.4.8?

OK. flexed by downloading the whole Nexus zip and replacing webinterface.default folder in Program Files\Kodi\addons. Blush

No, the Nexus one. You just need the the single directory "https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/tree/Nexus/addons/webinterface.default". Since the Github standard web interface doesn't offer directory downloads you may use the following instead that packs the entire folder into a zip-file:

"https://download-directory.github.io/?url=https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/tree/Nexus/addons/webinterface.default"

Or you can get it from https://github.com/xbmc/chorus2/releases

Thanks, thats an option if you aware chorus2 v19-2.4.8 is a part of Nexus v20 (I wasn't) and subdir dist is to be unpacked to addons/webinterface.default.

I not sure what happened with Chorus2 as no one is actively working on it. It's perhaps by luck v19-2.4.8 is still working as I would have expected to be a v20 version number to indicate Kodi v20 compatibility.

Btw, regarding that I didn't manage to setup a working toolchain for chorus2 according to developers docs. Anyone tried it lately?

**jjd-uk** · 2023-01-26, 15:57

In case you don't know Chorus 2 is due to be replaced by https://github.com/xbmc/elm-chorus hence why little has been done at https://github.com/xbmc/chorus2

From what I understand, the Elm version has been a GSoC project the last couple of year but is still not quite in a state it can become the new Default.

Yeah, I read about it in the news section but wasn't aware of that version is soon to be released. Thanks for the pointer, I'll give it a try!

oyoy · 2023-01-26, 16:13

Thanks all.
@jjd-uk Maybe add this fix to the latest v20 Nightly version?

To be honest I'm not sure what state the Elm version is either, my understanding is it was pretty close to having everything the ready, but it's all gone very quiet since September last year. So I doubt the Elm version will be added as Default anytime soon.

That's probably a correct assumption considering there hasn't been any major activity in that repo for a very long time. It also lacks documentation regarding the development environment like requirements for toolchains etc.
