Zip files won't install - Heip - 2012-01-15
I can't install the zip files when I get them into XBMC. I tried icefilms. I downloaded the zip, left it as a zip, put it into the stated folder via Cyberduck but when I click on it in XBMC it doesn't do anything. I watch the bottom to make sure it's not installing and getting lost. It just doesn't do anything. Any ideas?

I should add: using a Mac and Apple TV.

The it could be your database is corrupt it happens a lot,if ssh into your apple tv then goto library,then preferences,xbmc,userdata,then delete the database folder xbmc will generate another and you should be able to add your plugins again,this also solves a lot of problems with xbmc on atv

have you gone into video-add on's and then clicked install from zip file? find the file, then click install. It should then appear in the enabled add-ons.

If u are using MAC, then your file is unziped...
Do this, go on icefilms ad-don, and then right click with your mouse, and select "save file as...." to location u want...

If you're using safari to download your plug-ins
do this before downloading
In Safari Go to Perferences - In General Tap UNCHECK "Open "Safe" files after downloading" and then download the plugins

I tried this but now when I select 'Install from zip file -> selected the file, it says: "Ad-on does not have the correct structure"
I noticed the repository file has a "music" icon...
Using: OS X 10.7.2

How you do this? "ssh into the apple tv"?
