Hi all,

The following is a deprecated plugin:
https://github.com/ruuk/plugin.image.picasa

On Raspberry + OSMC I removed the broken tag in addon.xml and it worked perfectly.
It uses Picasa Web Album API that deprecated only some functions. Author is not interest to maintain it any more.
I tried to do the same on Mac:

1 git clone https://github.com/ruuk/plugin.image.picasa
2. removed broken tag in addon.xml
3. zip -r plugin.image.picasa.zip plugin.image.picasa/

When I try to import the add on I got the message: Failed to Install the Add-on and in the kodi.log I got:

12:10:40.245 T:140737078473664   ERROR: Failed to read 'zip://%2fUsers%2fsasadangelo%2fPicasaAddon%2fplugin.image.picasa.zip/plugin.image.picasa/addon.xml'

I also used the same zip file that worked for OSMC+Raspberry but on Mac I got the error above.
I compared the addon.xml with one of another plugin (plugin.image.flickr) that works perfectly on Mac and they are mostly identical. No strange characters.

I used the zip program on Mac shell because on Mac FAQ I read that other zip are incompatible with KODI.

I also installed the xmbcswift2 dependency.

Any idea about the issue? Is there any particular requirement for addon.xml (i.e. use tab instead of spaces and stuff like that).

just did the exact same steps you stated and it works for me. (using osx sierra and kodi 18 nightly). Ensure you don't use the "install from zip" from the home screen as this is broken. You need to really enter the addon section and hit "install from zip" from there.

I used KODI 17.5 on MAC OS X Sierra 10.5. I went in Addon section, Install from repository (because there is no direct link to Install from zip) then browser the Install from zip.
Is this correct? Can you tell me the exact menu item you selected?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Yeah install from repository and then go up one level and install from zip

Need a debug log (wiki) when it fails for you

Exactly what I did. The kodi.log file only contains the line above. I put the kodi.log in tail -f and I verified the operation generates only that line in the log.
