Installing this skin in OpenELEC
#1
Hi everyone,

Just a quick question.

Can this skin be installed in OpenELEC?

If so, for the frodo build of OpenELEC would I just use the same 'master' that I took from here?:

https://github.com/BigNoid/Aeon-Nox

I can't find anything on this, probably becaue I have never used OpenELEC before and I don't know where to look. Sorry if this out of place.

Thank you.

Does that work, I tried re-creating the zip with the proper name and it kept telling me I did not have the correct structure to install. I have been manually adding it to the ~/.xbmc/addons folder using SSH and Samaba (copying it to Downloads and then a cp -fr).

Why? just click this: https://github.com/BigNoid/Aeon-Nox/archive/master.zip

Then install via zip in OpenELEC.

i don´t think that works because the github zip contains a subfolder. addon.xml has to be placed in zip root.

Github.com screwed around with the zip files.
You need to rezip it yourself locally

I had been able to do it before, it is good to know that addon.xml has to be at the root, I may have to look into that at some point. Much less work than all of the listed steps. Haha

Hi again, Blush

Has someone got this skin working in OpenELEC 3.0?

Phil posted this in the FAQ thread:

Quote:Q. I’ve pulled latest GIT version of Nox and I get a “dependencies not met” error message?
You have an older version of XBMC, update to latest nightly build or beta build. If you download the zip file from gitrepo and extract them manually into your addons folder, while the installation will be "successful" you will find other issues arising when trying to configure and use it because you're missing the "dependencies" so I don't recommend this course of action.

As I cannot install the skin as a zip (I have tried everything I can think of but I still get the "Dependencies not met" error message), does this mean that I can't run this skin in OpenELEC 3.0?

It runs fine. Problem is one script is missing in frodo that prevents it from installing. What you could do is edit the addon.xml inside the .zip and remove the line that contains script.randomandlastitems
This should allow it to install using .zip

Im having the same problem, if i download the zip file from GIT it says "dependencies not met".
But if i open the zipfile in 7-zip and edit the addon.xml inside 7-zip, and save it, i get "addons does not have correct structure"

I have rezipped the contents both with everything directly in the root, and as it was when first downloading it.

How is the zip-file supposed to be structured?

Same problem for me too.
After I edit the zip file I get the wrong structure error.

Tried different methods, and all have the same result.
