Official XMBC Add-ons blank. Third party ones load (mostly) OK - Seano - 2013-08-02
Hi All,
Its been a number of years since using XBMC (back when modding an Xbox and using it to play movies with XBMC) and a lot has changed!
I have a purpose built Media Centre built on a Silent Impacts passively cooled case, and a gigabyte H87 mini-itx mobo.
It all runs well, and is booting using Openelec and I can interface my Andriod phone with the official XBMC app as a remote.
The only niggle is the official XBMC.org Add-ons dont appear to load. I can import a ZIP file via SSH and load it up and that works OK.
Is there a way to re-install the XBMC add-on? I have run a tail on the xbmc.log file in \.xbmc\temp and it doesnt show anything when attempting to access the add-on repository?
I know its not a networking issue as fan art, third-party add-ons work, and I can perform an nslookup in SSH and all is well.
thanks in advance.

Do a forced refresh on the repository: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Add-on_manager#Empty_repository_list

Hi there and thanks for your reply.
Yeah, I have done that a number of times. I have been hunting around the world wide wibbly and have spoken to a couple of people with some experience with openelec but we have so far drawn a blank.
perhaps I will force a refresh a few more times. Is there a command from SSH I can do to force the refresh?

delete addon15.db from userdata (wiki) and reboot
RE: Official XMBC Add-ons blank. Third party ones load (mostly) OK - Seano - 2013-08-02
I see - ill also try deleting the .db file as shown in your link.
OK - now to find that in openelec ;-)
found it...
\.xmbc\userdata

Cool - deleting the addon15.db file seemed to work.
now all that remains is the fact that none of the addons will install. Says Downloading 0% then ends.
MOD EDIT: remove log spam
Wonder if its a permissions issue? (sorry the thread is digressing now!)

never post logs on the forum!
RE: Official XMBC Add-ons blank. Third party ones load (mostly) OK - Seano - 2013-08-02
Sorry - didnt read the rules (yet)
Im used to technical forums and the first thing people ask is "Post the logs / trace"
RE: Official XMBC Add-ons blank. Third party ones load (mostly) OK - Martijn - 2013-08-02
we do ask for logs when needed but you should never post them directly on the forum. it's creates a huge mess
