If you run this somewhere (doesn't have to be on the SHIELD) what does it show for <path>?

curl https://kodi.getchannels.com/repo/nexus/addons.xml

I see:

<path>/nexus/2023.01.13.1915.zip</path>

I did this from a Powershell terminal, but don't see . I can remote into a linux box if needed.

use curl.exe

#669

I did.

Let me try on Ubuntu real quick.

#670

On windows you need to type curl.exe not curl. curl is a powershell alias.

#671

this was the output: /nexus/2023.01.13.1915.zip

So the same as yours.

Look in the addon.xml next to this file, what versions does it show inside for <import ...>

If you delete that addon folder and install the addon again does it create the folder with the same contents?

yes. I tried that recently. But I will do it again, just to be sure.

Just deleted the folder "pvr.channelsdvr" from the Shield, and then restarted Kodi. Reinstalled. New folder with updated timestamps, but same content in the folders.

#677

Okay I see there's a cache in addons/packages/ where 2023.01.13.1915.zip is being kept and re-used. Let me make another change here so it puts the kodi version as part of the zip file.

#678

Alright give it another shot. Update the repo first then install the addon

#679

ok, that seemed to work. I did have to uninstall the existing repo, just updating it didn't work, but after I did that, it seems to install and stay running. I haven't actually tried it yet (in a work meeting right now!).

Thanks for working through this!

I have followed the instructions posted recently and still cannot get the addon working on Nexus.

On my Shield I was able to get the addon installed but no guide data is loaded and attempting to play a channel crashes Kodi.

On my CoreELEC box I still cannot get the addon to install, following the same steps. It continues to crash Kodi and cause CoreELEC to reboot into safe mode as detailed in my previous post

#681

@tmm1 Any chance you might be able to look into this?

#682

Can you remove and reinstall it now ?

#683

Just tried from CoreELEC and no luck.

  1. Unistalled repo
  2. Restarted Kodi
  3. Installed repo
  4. Installed addon
  5. Kodi crashes as addon is installing
  6. CoreELEC reboots in safe mode "due to repeated kodi crashes"

I linked the crash log in one of my previous posts but let me know if you would like me to take another or anything else that would help

#684

I need to watch it on my side to see what's being downloaded by your system. I'm watching the logs now if you want to try it again.

#685

Gotcha, trying again now
