Build YouTube Channel Addon
#1
Hello I am new to Kodi and developing Kodi addons.
Is there any sample code I can look at to build an Addon that displays videos of a YouTube Channel (I will hard Code it in so it looks like a standalone Addon)?

I have got Kodi Addon generator going but don’t know where to start.

Many thanks

Probably easiest to look at the YouTube Add-on.

Take a look here. Creating your first Youtube add-on zag posted a guide on that subject and could be of some help.

Thanks.
It’s 2015 and I had a look but it doesn’t seem to install properly - guess there are dependencies issues. I will dig into that.

You can take a look into:

https://github.com/enen92/plugin.video.itsapixelthing

and

https://github.com/enen92/plugin.video.c...asabenfica

Or

https://github.com/dangelus1138/plugin.v...sblenderv2

All use the same codebase and just change art and channel ID. Please use a different API key if you plan to clone them.
