I keep getting a failed to update when I try to update an addon. Is anyone else able to update their addons?? I read in another thread (cant find it now) that you have to rename the file or something since when its downloaded it names it incorrectly. or something liek that.
anyone have a fix?

I had the exact same problem updating. What I did was go to the add ons, uninstall the problem one, and then reinstall it to presumably the latest version. Hope this helps

I'm having the same problem.......XBMC tells me three are up dates but all the updates fail. It hangs on the download and just sits there!

One work-around that has proved effective for me is to uninstall and reinstall the particular add-on that refuses to update. Not a fix, of course, but it seems to work.

Same here. Uninstalling the addon and reinstalling it works as a workaround.

Does davilla and the other developers know about this? Hope that it fixes when they merge to trunk. I uninstalled and installed again and it updates. Even keeps my settings. Can this also be done on a repo?

Seems like not everyone is having this issue.
I have even tried uninstalling and then reinstalling and dont get updates.

... at least it is the correct syntax now.
And if it´s an owner/file permission problem it should fix it.
Did you copy your addons-folder or did you install it from addon manager on atv2?
