I *think* my repository is set up all correctly but I have become aware it never sends out updates (well, clients never get updates) - the only way for people to get new versions is to force-refresh teh repo, which works. It's hosted on Googlecode and I have seen other reports of the same issue (e.g. http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=132139)
I use the addons_xml_generator.py from nuka1195: http://code.google.com/p/xbmc-addons/sou....py?r=2275
(my version being here, it's identical: http://code.google.com/p/bossanova808-xb...nerator.py)
My repository is at:
http://code.google.com/p/bossanova808-xb...ce/browse/
I use zips for the actual downloads, held here: http://code.google.com/p/bossanova808-xb...-downloads
As I say, a force refresh works - but none of my clients will receive auto-updates even when left on for days. I am aware it takes 6+ hours between checks, but it should happen eventually right?
My actual repo def is here: http://code.google.com/p/bossanova808-xb.../addon.xml
....I am getting OK with Python but I don't know enough about the mechanism here - I though if the md5 changes (which it does thanks nuka's generator) - it would trigger updates....but it doesn't. The only error I see in the debug logs is an EOF message from curl but that seems to be there when I force refresh as well, so I think that's more informative than an error (there's an example of these errors here http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1113008 - same for me).
I would love some help with this as I am sure there are a bunch of people stuck on older version of my addon because of this, and it would make my addon development time MUCH more satisfying if I new for sure people were getting the updates!
