This add-on creates a virtual repository for Kodi. This way, one does not need to use a GitHub repository for storing add-ons zips when all that information is already accessible from each add-on repository.
It works by setting a HTTP server which has the following endpoints:
| Endpoint | Description |
|---|---|
| http://127.0.0.1:{port}/addons.xml | Main xml file containing all add-ons information |
| http://127.0.0.1:{port}/addons.xml.md5 | Checksum of the main xml file |
| http://127.0.0.1:{port}/{addon_id}/{asset_path} | Endpoint for serving add-ons assets/zips |
| http://127.0.0.1:{port}/update | Endpoint for updating repository entries and clearing caches |
Get the latest release from github. Then, install from zip within Kodi.
In order to know which repositories to proxy, the virtual repository needs to be provided with a list of add-on entries. An example can be found here. Each entry must follow the following schema (also available as json schema):
| Property | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| id | true | Add-on id. |
| username | true | GitHub repository username. |
| branch | false | GitHub repository branch. If not defined, it will be the commit of the latest release or, in case there are no releases, master branch. |
| assets | false | Dictionary containing string/string key-value pairs, where the key corresponds to the relative asset location and the value corresponds to the real asset location. One can also set "zip" asset, which is a special case for the add-on zip. If an asset is not defined, its location will be automatically evaluated. Note: assets are treated as "new style" format strings with the following keywords - id, username, repository, branch, system and arch. |
| asset_prefix | false | Prefix to use on the real asset location when it is automatically evaluated. |
| repository | false | GitHub repository name. If not set, it is assumed to be the same as the add-on id. |
| platforms | false | Platforms where the add-on is supported. If not set, it is assumed all platforms are supported. |
