Kodi update? #18

Open HoSpeLL opened 2 years ago

HoSpeLL commented 2 years ago

Is there a way to update Kodi? Currently the version is 14.2-Helix and not all addons are working on this version.

NSSpiral commented 2 years ago

That's the last supported build unfortunately.

HoSpeLL commented 2 years ago

Let’s hope that they will release an update soon

there is a legacy version of kodi 19 for old iOS, you can find it on bigboss, who knows if they can modify it to be supported also on tv OS ... I tried to install that legacy version via ssh but it doesn't work and on the other hand it now gives me an error of incorrect dependencies that I cannot correct in any way.
I guess I'll have to format it and jailbreak again 🤪

Any builds for iOS simply won't work for Apple TV as they use different infrastructures. Despite the architecture reading as 'iphoneos-arm' it does install, but it's a no-go. The latest afaik is 14.x.

If you wish to get Kodi 19 for Apple TV, it would be advised to invest in the newer generations (4/4K)

So Im trying to connect to repos and it won't let me. The unknown sources enable button does not exist on or I just can't find it but I looked everywhere and watched on how to get it. So this Kodi is worthless if you can't add unknown sources.

Can you not add sources in the file manager of Kodi?

It's not worthless. It's a very, very old version of Kodi. So adding any new repositories/sources will not work. The only one that has worked afaik is TVAddons.

Ok i managed to get Helix updated as best as it can by adding the kodi helix mirror using ssh and wget (adding the sites directly caused problems most likely due to https/ssl issues during the jailbreak process).

  1. ssh into appletv via ip
  2. cd /var/mobile/Media/Downloads
  3. wget http://mirrors.kodi.tv/addons/helix/repository.xbmc.org/repository.xbmc.org-2.1.34.zip
  4. In Kodi go to Settings->Add-ons->Install from zip file->Home->Media->Downloads
  5. Select repository.xbmc.org-2.1.34.zip which should be located in the folder.

And just like that updates come rolling in and you can actually browse the repo from the addons menu. Unfortuantely the one addon I wanted has been removed from the repo i.e. YouTube which seems to have some compatibility issues with Google's updated API. I've tried the recommended last working version found on other sites (5.4.2) but still no dice. Will keep working on it but it seems that an entirely new addon will have to be written to get YouTube back on the classic AppleTV.

side-note: any1 know how to fix ssl/https access issues? I have the horrible suspicion that this may be part of th problem accessing YT...

Thanks for the Repo hint. I had also some issues downlading, I think the SSL/wget is a little bit outdated.

I got it working with this workaround: edit the /usr/etc/wgetrc (I had to install nano first with "apt-get install nano") in the last line of the file remove the # and write: secureprotocol = SSLv2

Than safe and the downloads are working again.
