Hi dears

I am developing an add-on that depend on YouTube add-on to show videos. I am not sure what to include in addon.xml to make the add-on work perfectly without the need to install YouTube add-on separately before installing my add-on.

Please advise

Thank you Mr. Martijn but I am a newbie in development. Can you help me more in this matter?

Under <requires> you can see two imports. The first is the python version required by the script. The second is a dependency that the script needs. This is automatically installed from Kodi's default repo.

You will need to do a similar thing, except you will need to specify <import addon="plugin.video.youtube" version="x.y.z" /> or something similar to that.
