InstallAddon(id) Will install the addon with the given id.

if not belonging to the kodi repo,the repository from where the specific addon should be installed must be installed on the system.

here is my control

if the repo is not installed, it installs the repo, if the repo is installed nothing happens when clicked

xml:
                <control type="radiobutton" id="323">

                    <label>PVR Artwork Module $INFO[System.AddonVersion(script.module.pvr.artwork),(,)]</label>

so it seems line 7 installs the repo fine but it is a old version (6.0.0) current is (7.0.1.2), after the repo is installed if i goto addons and try to navigate to the repo it says "could not connect to repository"
looks like the old repo was on github, now they host it on their own site.

Seems you need more declare the visible expression.

I tested,mine this way.
and seems to work, unsure if skin reload is requiered but i think it souldn't.

But your (or any other already installed repo) should provide the repo which should be installed (as it willl not work either)

xml:


<onclick condition="!System.HasAddon(plugin.video.netflix) + !System.HasAddon(repository.castagnait)">InstallAddon(repository.castagnait)</onclick>

<onclick condition="!System.HasAddon(plugin.video.netflix) + System.HasAddon(repository.castagnait)">InstallAddon(plugin.video.netflix)</onclick>

<onclick condition="System.HasAddon(plugin.video.netflix)">Addon.OpenSettings(plugin.video.netflix)</onclick>

you need than, some source with an upo to date linke ( provide by yourself , or create an pr for the 'common' repo which provide )

how can i provide a link in the skinsettings to the repo?

just update your repository with the addon which should be updated (repository.*name*) like you seemed to be done before. ( addons.xml / addon.xml )

[mardukL]

Edit: worked,but also fix a typo https://github.com/marduklev/kodi_repo/c...530ae53155

OK, i got the repo setup and working.

i have this in skinsettings, but when clicked nothing happens, and nothing in the log.
