Your 1st Add-On: Hello World!
well probably not doable via an addon, you would have to read up on it in the documentations

I just modified the app id and dialog message for testing the addon. But kodi said Fail to install, what's wrong?

Here the addon zip file:

http://locnp.ddns.net:82/script.hello.camel-1.0.2.zip

Help me resolve the problem please.

Hi Guys sorry If I am Hijacking here but I want to know what is the way to play browser.chromium in LibreELEC.

I did it like this way but when it closed I saw the programs addon window and I don't want to see it.

 <item id="80">
                    <description>Browser</description>
                    <icon>backgrounds/brows.jpg</icon>
                    <label2>icons/chrome.png</label2>
                    <label>Browser</label>
            <onclick>ActivateWindow(10040,&quot;plugin://browser.chromium/&quot;,return)</onclick>
                </item>

Any Idea please.

There are no terminal windows on a Raspberry devices, unless you use Raspbian OS.
In Kodi alone, you will need to use SSH.

I have raspbian, the terminal is in it, but how to open it from under kodi in a window?

PHP Code:
import xbmcaddon
import xbmcgui

addon 
xbmcaddon.Addon()
addonname addon.getAddonInfo('name')

line1 "Hello World!"
line2 "We can write anything we want here"
line3 "Using Python"

xbmcgui.Dialog().ok(addonnameline1line2line3
  
@ronie you mention in the python cleanup PR https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/17456 that line1, line2 will be depreciated.

Could you give an example of what it should be going forward? Also will the new method be backward compatible?

a bit of background info (reason for this change) can be found here: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/3573

python:
line1 = "Hello World! We can write anything we want here Using Python"
xbmcgui.Dialog().ok(addonname, line1)

will work with kodi Matrix and all previous versions of kodi back to 2013.

Thanks, I will update the Add-on tutorial.

Just out of interest, is it possible to add line breaks in the Dialog popup?

technically, there is... but it's discouraged for 2 reasons:
1. the width of the dialog varies from skin to skin, so you don't know how long a line can be before it gets wrapped.
2. same applies to localizations. in english the line might be short, but it could be much longer in other languages.

Hi guys, I'm new and I'm trying to start developing addons.

But really what is the problem?
On Kodi 18.9, if the line length is too long it starts a new line, and if the sum of lines is too height for message box it scrolls the message.
Showing info on different lines can often improve readability.

'problems' will arise if lines are too long for a certain skin and kodi will wrap just before the end of the line.

assume this is the text you want to display (and it works perfectly in the Estuary skin):
This line will perfectly fit in the estuary skin ![CR]And my second line of text also fits on a single line.[CR]This is the third line of text.

in other skin where the message box is just a little less wide, you'll end up with this being displayed:
Code:
This line will perfectly fit in the estuary skin
!
And my second line of text also fits on a single
line.
This is the third line of text.

similar things will happen with translations that are a little longer than the english text.

Yes, but this behavior is unavoidable i think, with only one line too.
However, many thanks for replying! Smile
