Thanks Jeroen! Just tried installing but it fails. Anyone else manage to install?

For anyone that will use Polish language in Grid – few strings are still missing. I will add them ASAP.

Same install problem here, on Ubuntu 16.04 + Kodi 17.3:

Does anyone else have problems connecting with the repository?

Repository seems ok but install fails on a NUC.

For those struggling with installing from the repo, just download the zip files manually and install from zip.

You need these two:
https://github.com/jeroenpardon/reposito...-1.0.0.zip
https://github.com/jeroenpardon/reposito...master.zip

Install UI sounds first as it is a skin dependency.

@Jeroen - It is looking fantastic. Really amazing work!

Couple of bugs I encountered (or maybe I'm missing something obvious).

1. It seems like I can only see widgets if I use the compact home menu. Vertical shows nothing when I press right, but I am clearly on the widget as pressing select/enter will play a movie.

2. Also, you might need some sort of fallback image for banners:

The skin is looking for the resource.images.languageflags.colour-flat-0.0.2.zip then resource.uisounds.grid-master.zip to be installed before it completes successfully. Up and running, looking good.

Thank you very much. Now it's working

Why do I have to make unchecked last minute changes after weeks of testing An animation was accidentally removed, I pushed a quick fix.

Seems like I do

Also, thanks for the assistance in getting people up and running. For some reason my repo wasn't picking up renamed files. After re-cloning it, it did..

Anyway, it should now be available through the repo, just updated it on my htpc. I had to restart Kodi for it get picked up correctly though.

Some errors in the log below.
The last one about the background path flashed by in red on screen when Kodi switched to Grid. Just before asking if I wanted to keep it.

OK, I am totally done with this repo crap. The same issue is popping up now when I was setting it up for the first time, saying "Could not connect to repository". What solved it then was to actually put the wrong version number in one of the add-on's filename...

I am getting a 404 on the repo's .md5 file in my logs when trying to access it. Yet, when I put the same exact URL into my browser, it retrieves that same file with no issue...

Forget it, this really gets on my nerves.

You can just grab the latest zip from this directory: https://github.com/jeroenpardon/reposito.../skin.grid
