The reason you can't find XMBC Flicks in the XBMC 11 repository is because it doesn't exist in the XBMC repository. My best guess is that it needs to be updated for XBMC 11 since I did try to manually install bengalih's modification and it told me the file structure was bad so either bengalih made a mistake, or as I suspect, XBMC 11 is not backward compatible with XBMC 10 addons ( or at least not with all of them ). Your only 2 options as far as I can tell are to uninstall XBMC 11 and find a copy of XBMC 10 or wait.
Well, you are correct that XBMCFlicks is not yet in the EDEN repository. But you should probably do a bit more research before you go shouting "fire" all over the place.
I'm curious as to how could you have even attempted the install of my modification if you didn't even have XBMCFlicks installed yet? As my modification states that you need to replace two files from the original plugin - how would you have gone about this if you didn't yet install the original plugin?
My post:
"Please note that these modifications are to the latest available plugin code. That plugin is referenced here and I believe what everyone on Eden should now be using. You can probably easily adapt my code to other versions if necessary."
If you had bothered to click on the "here" you would have seen the last post from Fekker (the current Dev of XBMCFlicks) where he states that he has not yet fully committed the EDEN branch, but he provides the latest copy of the XBMCFlix which does work with EDEN.
Yes, it is a manual install (to which Fekker gives directions in that post).
To say "no one has bothered answering that for you" is untrue as this question has been posed and answered at least several times in the last 5-10 pages of this thread, as well as other threads posted by people who can't seem to be bothered to read back a few postings to get the latest news...
Your recommendations are way off base, and I would suggest that no one follow them. There is no need to stay on XBMC 10 if you want to use XBMCFlicks, you simply need to manually install the Add-on as per Fekker's instructions.
If then you would like to use my modifications (not required at all, simply preference) then copy the two files in my mod over the original.
The reason much of this information is not apparent is that Fekker has been away for a while. Hopefully he will return to commit the final EDEN changes and register the add-on in the repository and update the main thread. However, he probably has real-life things to attend to that have been more pressing.
