I am a beginner, trying to develop my own kodi addon. I have made an introductory "basic" video addon as explained in kodi wiki.

But, am unable to install it. Relevent part of log says following:

xml:

Sorry, forgot to post full log in original post. Here it is

Your Kodi setup and thus log file has been infested with add-ons that facilitate video piracy one way or the other.
As per our forum rules (wiki) and piracy policy (wiki), no support is provided.

Either your fully clean up your Kodi setup, or you are encouraged to find your support elsewhere.

The choice is yours.

Sorry for my previous log. I have cleaned up my kodi. this is my new log: hastebin - ejuzamobaf (kodi.tv).

Error is still the same as in original post.

I have cleaned up my kodi. this is my new log:

I don't know what kind of cleaning method you used, but it is not working. You even added a banned repository...
Notice all the orange-colored items in the add-ons section in your log. They should be gone now.

Last chance.

Hello
@KRiloshart did you get this to work -  I am running into a similar issue

Mr KRiloshart hasn't visited this forum since November last year. I doubt he'll return after his banned add-ons problems.

If you have similar problems, ask the people where you got your add-ons forum.
