Web-based Addon Browser - http://xbmcaddonbrowser.com
#1
I started working on a project that enables web-based viewing of the offical XBMC addons.

http://xbmcaddonbrowser.com

The site pulls updates from the official git repositories every hour. It then generates static HTML from the checked out repositories. It displays the addon's icon, descriptions in different languages, last-updated date, link to the source code in gitweb, and author's name (and possible link to their forum profile page).

Eventually I want this to be deployable so other's can use this code to display the addons in their own private repos. Currently it only interfaces with git repos but I plan to add support for SVN as well.

You can check out the current code at https://github.com/jbeluch/xbmc-addon-browser. Documentation is a little lacking at the moment but I plant to update it soon.

Feedback appreciated!

Ah, yes it would be, thanks. At least for the metadata parsing.

However, for the addon icons, I didn't want to hotlink the images. So I think having a clone of the repo works so I can serve the images from my server.

Thanks gobbledigook and linuxluemmel. Smile

I'm trying to improve it so developers who have private repos can deploy it easily. Then they have an easy way to show off their addons instead of just listing in a wiki which goes out of date pretty quickly.
