Hey guys,

Massive thanks to jogal for this!

I'm having a problem though, and not sure if I'm doing something wrong.
When I download certain addons, I'm getting a lot of dependency errors. For example when I go to download additional skins from the built-in repo, I frequently get the error:
"The dependency on script.skin.helper.widgets version 1.0.22 could not be satisfied".
I get similar errors mentioning other scripts.

I'm guessing that's because Kodi 19 uses Python 3, and most addons aren't updated to support this, right?

Is there anything I can do to fix this? I'm assuming the repo in this version of Kodi is the most up to date version, yes? If not, how do I install the latest official repo with addons which are most compatible with Kodi v19? I can't find many skins at all that are compatible, and I hate the default Kodi skin.

Will compatible addons be automatically added to the official repo as they become available? Or will we need to download a newer (unforked and un-HDR) version of Kodi?

Sorry for the silly questions, I'm a bit of a novice.
Thanks for any help!

At this point I think for the most part, python addons that require python modules or packages are working as most packages today have python 3 capability and these have been added to the Matrix part of the Kodi repo.  Skins can be a bit different, as they require Kodi addons, rather than just packages/modules.  But among other things there is a pending PR for Kodi that will require skins to provide Matrix versions (IOW, same as for python addons), so any existing skins in the Kodi repo that are Leia won't show as available to install.  The Matrix versions of skins should have been tested for dependencies prior to acceptance into the Kodi Matrix repo.  While Matrix is pre-alpha, probably best to first find a support thread for a skin and look for any interim fixes (such as zipped versions of py-3 addons not in the Kodi Matrix repo yet).  Or stick to Estuary.
