[Linux] Add-ons can no longer be updated

spoxta · 2011-06-12 08:18

Hi,

since a few days, I noticed that XBMC (Dharma 10.1 on Ubuntu 10.10) no longer updates the add-ons. None of them.

I noticed, because another XBMC instance (10.1 on AppleTV) did update the Aeon Nox skin to 1.3.0 which fixed a bug.

Now on the Linux box, the automatic update did not happen, and I also cannot update manually. And it seems NO add-on could be updated any more.

In the Add-On manager menus, the "Update" button is greyed out. For every add-on which is enabled. Aeon Nox is still at 1.2.0 in this box.

Maybe there is some Add-on repository cache that does not refresh and therefore it thinks all add-ons are up to date, while they are clearly not.

Any hints appreciated.

Context menu on XBMC addons will allow you to force a refresh.

Thanks, I found it (this context menu item seems only to be enabled on the "Enabled Add-ons" item on the top-level of the Add-Ons menu),
unfortunately just nothing happens.

I bring up the context menu.

It has only one item "Check for updates".

I select it / OK.

Nothing happens. No downloads, no popup, nothing.
Of course the "Update" button for each add-on remains disabled.

:-(

You want context menu on the "XBMC addons" node (i.e. under "Get Addons").

Thanks! Found that one ("Force Refresh") and it worked.

Many thanks again!
