OK since I didn't get any reaction of my request on a thread I made. And don't expect any reaction. I ask here my request.
Read this thread Request an add-on to install add-ons from unofficial add-on repositories.
So basically I want to be able to install addons from a repository. From a repository I didn't yet install.
Why I think this would be great. Read this
Could the Repositories Installer Add-on be made this way? What do you think?

Not sure what you asking would be easier to do, even thus the idea is good.
Each repository is different, some are hosting zip files (i.e XBMC official repo), other are hosting tree structure (i.e google base repo) .
The only way to know how to parse those repositories is to download and process the zip file of a repo, so at this stage it is not so much to install it.
A possible issue with such addon:
- what do we do if the user decide to install an addon from repo not installed? We want to be able to get the update so we would need to install it.

Nevertheless if you install the development repo (Passion-XBMC.org Add-ons Frodo-pre) we have on our SVN google: http://code.google.com/p/passion-xbmc/do...ip&can=2&q=
You will have access to the latest version of the repo installer on which Frost is working, and he added functionnalities which I believe would do more of less what you asked for if I am not mistaken.
But watch out it you install this Passion-XBMC.org Add-ons Frodo-pre, because version are more recent on it, that would take over on version available on the offcial Passion-XBMC repo and you would get the latest versions of addons in development but those are:
- only for Frodo(pre)
- development version, so they could be broken


@Klikerko
Some of the features you asked will be also available with the version in progress made by Frost.

Note: with this version not restart of XBMC is required after installing an addon

I tested the development version. I see some new things, like accessing the home page of the developer. But unfortunately it doesn't do, what I am requesting. First I want to emphasize this is merely a request. Seeing some of your comments. Did you the read the thread Request an add-on to install add-ons from unofficial add-on repositories ?

A. Each repository is different

Yeah I see, this would make it more complicated. And would work a lot like the xbmc Add-on manager (only without installing all the repositories manually to see the add-ons they contain). However it wouldn't be impossible to make an add-on that does that. Right?

B. How to parse those repositories

Yes Temhill. But if we add the link of the addon.xml . This way it would also work. Right? Only the way you mentioned, right now I am thinking that is better.

C. How to get the update of an add-on

(2012-08-16, 17:11)tikkiew Wrote: 4. And if a users sees a add-on he/she likes to install. It will also install the repo or it looks if you already installed it. And than automatically installs the addon. < Not sure if this is possible.

So of course the repo needs to be installed as well. So when there is an update on the add-on, the xbmc add-on manager updates this for you.

Temhill could you please add this "StreamOn " repository from shawonmq in the repo installer.

You can update directly the wiki page, the repository installer will see it automatically.

@tikkiew
Sorry I missed you message. So if I understand correctly, what you would like is to be able to browse the content of a repository without installing it and install from there an addons which would also trigger the install of the repository so you an get the update automatically,
It is a pretty good idea, but some work (because mostly the addons would have to do the same than xbmc for installing an addons), I am not saying no, but I dont have currenlty the time to look at it, hopefully one day.

@Temhil Just read your post. Yeah that's what I mean. Besides browsing, I want to be able to search an add-on an all repositories. Basically same as the xbmc add-ons manager.

I also posted this request on xbmchub months ago. And here they said they are creating a solution for this as well. I don't know if they will finish it. Just FYI. addon overview xbmchubforum
