can't import installed addon with xbmc.python.module as extension point - Termo - 2023-02-26

I would like to import and use some features of "Cron for Kodi", and in the addon.xml it has the

xml:
<extension point="xbmc.python.module" library="resources/lib" />

correct as far as I can see.
https://github.com/robweber/cronxbmc/blob/4ec63699baabf44367bc255e9665f4cd7f455e2a/addon.xml#L12

Yet still it is not in my sys.path in kodi?!? Any idea, to why I can not see this installed addon in my sys.path?

I looked on the Git repo and the addon id is service.cronxbmc . You should be able to add the line:

<requires>
<import addon="service.cronxbmc"/>
</requires>

in your addon.xml requires section to import it into your addon.

Thanks,

Jeff

Agree. I think only the <requires> element in your addon.xml causes kodi to add the library path to your sys.path.
