So I am officially stuck!!!

I have tryed every possible way to get this working to download properly from my repo.

I have taken the Unmodified SiO2-X Skin (version 0.1.2) and added it to my Repo as well. When I download it through XBMC it downloads flawlessly.

So I decided to run a test and use this skin and rename the folder, and edit the addon.xml accordingly by changing the addon id. When I try to download the modified version I just created the same thing happens. It starts to download, shows 0% downloading and stops with no errors.

Here is my log>>

It shows me installing the working SiO2-X Skin, and then my failed attempt at installing my SiO2-X iOS7 Skin.

Here is my Github Github Link

well... i already tried to explain the problem to you two days ago ;-)

first, you're *not* downloading the unmodified SiO2-X skin from your github repo.
xbmc is downloading it from the fastcolors repo:

12:55:20 T:3316 INFO: XCURL:llLibCurlGlobal::easy_aquire - Created session to http://fastcolors.net
12:55:20 T:3316 DEBUG: FileManager: copy http://fastcolors.net/repository/skin.si...-0.1.2.zip -> special://home/addons/packages/skin.sio2x-0.1.2.zip
12:55:20 T:3316 DEBUG: CurlFile::Open(0E52F7D0) http://fastcolors.net/repository/skin.si...-0.1.2.zip

then you try to download your skin:

13:02:37 T:3316 INFO: XCURL:llLibCurlGlobal::easy_aquire - Created session to https://github.com
13:02:38 T:3316 DEBUG: FileManager: copy https://github.com/iCanuck/iCanuck-XBMC-...-0.0.3.zip -> special://home/addons/packages/skin.sio2xios-0.0.3.zip

13:02:39 T:3316 DEBUG: ZipManager: not a zip file!
13:02:39 T:3316 ERROR: XFILE::CDirectory::GetDirectory - Error getting zip://special%3a%2f%2fhome%2faddons%2fpackages%2fskin.sio2xios-0.0.3.zip/

which fails for the reasons i mentioned before.

So you still believe its because Github doesn't host larger files? Do you have any recommendations for where I should host my files? preferably for free.

I see what you mean though with the SiO2-X downloading from Fastcolors, I must have missed that when I looked through the log file.

Sorry if that seems likes a dumb questions. I am a new to all of this and have been reading countless forums and just figuring things out with trial and error.
Thanks in Advance

Okay awesome I got everything going. Thanks Ronie I appreciate your help! I apologize if this thread started thinking it was an issue with scrip.favorites when it obviously wasn't (noob mistake) I should have read more into what you were saying!

I moved everything over to Googlecode. Everything is up and running!!

is moving to googlecode the only soultion?

I have everything on github, and i'm happy there, my repo addon looks like this:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<addon id="repository.lunatixz" name="Lunatixz Repo" version="1.0" provider-name="Lunatixz">
    <extension point="xbmc.addon.repository" name="Official PseudoTV Live Repository">
        <info compressed="false">http://raw.github.com/Lunatixz/XBMC_Addons/master/addons.xml</info>
        <checksum>http://raw.github.com/Lunatixz/XBMC_Addons/master/addons.xml.md5</checksum>
        <datadir zip="true">http://raw.github.com/Lunatixz/XBMC_Addons/master/zips</datadir>
    </extension>
    <extension point="xbmc.addon.metadata">
        <summary></summary>
        <description></description>
        <platform>all</platform>
    </extension>
</addon>

I get this error in my log, the link xbmc looks for is valid! and leads to a direct zip download...

Code:

Any help would be appreciated... thanks
