Cannot install iview - failed to install dependencies - fresh Kodi install

[stuger]

Hi

I have installed the repo (using repo.zip). When I try to install the iview plugin through the repository I receive an error that plugin.video.abc_iview-1.8.4.zip cannot be downloaded and that dependency script.module.aussieaddonscommon-1.1.1.zip failed to download.

Here is the relevant part of the log:

ERROR: CCurlFile::Open failed with code 404 for https://github.com/xbmc-catchuptv-au/repo/script.module.aussieaddonscommon/script.module.aussieaddonscommon-1.1.1.zip 08:35:24.260 T:1628 ERROR: CAddonInstallJob[script.module.aussieaddonscommon]: failed to download special://home/addons/packages/script.module.aussieaddonscommon-1.1.1.zip 08:35:24.263 T:1628 ERROR: CAddonInstallJob[plugin.video.abc_iview]: failed to install dependency script.module.aussieaddonscommon

It looks like the install is not pointing to the correct GitHub address. That is, plugin.video.abc_iview-1.8.4.zip is accessible (via web browser) from "... repo/blob/master/" but the download pathway when installing is directed only to /repo/ ... and not /repo/blob/master.

If you try to access the path set by the installer (shown in the logs) ( https://github.com/xbmc-catchuptv-au/repo/script.module.aussieaddonscommon/script.module.aussieaddonscommon-1.1.1.zip) in a web browser you get a 404 error.

Sounds very strange, and I'm not sure why you're not seeing the correct URL. I'll test this out as soon as I can and get back to you.

@stuger are you still having this issue? If so could we get a full debug log to have a look at?

I get the same issue with 9now, ABC iView, 7Plus.

Clicking on the lin in the original post comes back with File Not Found. (Go one, you know you want to click it).

So the script points to https://github.com/xbmc-catchuptv-au/repo/script.module.aussieaddonscommon/script.module.aussieaddonscommon-1.1.1.zip

When it should be pointing to https://github.com/xbmc-catchuptv-au/repo/blob/master/script.module.aussieaddonscommon/script.module.aussieaddonscommon-1.1.1.zip

Sup bro. Can you tell me what platform you're using?

Hiya Andy, Android TV (Sony).

Firstly thanks for everything. Note Ch10 , SBS, Netball TV all worked.

Sorry new to GitHub. I can grab logs from kodi, but where do I upload?

[andybotting]

The guide is here. Super easy with the Log Uploader add-on: http://kodi.wiki/view/Log_file/Easy

I've just done a test here on Linux and it worked OK. I'll try on Android TV also then.

We might be using URLs a little inconsistently, so I'm going to go through them and try and standardise a bit.

If you're interested, I'd recommend trying out our development repository. The details for it are here: http://aussieaddons.com/development/

This uses a newer, better style of URLs, so it may work better for you. I'd be interested to see if it makes a difference in your situation.

Hi Andy, Thanks for the help,

Here's the log dump I tried Nine, ABC, Seven starts line 1335.

The DevRepo worked. alas Ch9 doesn't work on "Kodi 17 for Android, with encrypted content" :-(

Hey @supabro I think I can see the problem here just a few lines before your paste:

It looks like Kodi is finding the drmhelper addon dependency available from your superrepo repository which is incorrectly redirecting and giving us the 404. Try disabling/uninstalling superrepo and trying to install again and let us know how you go.

hiya Glenn!

Thanks for the quick reply! You;re right on the money. I disable the 3 SuperRepo repo's, uninstalled & re-installed 9Now from the normal Catchu TV AU repo (not the dev) and it worked (and found some content which wasn't DRM'd & would play).

Thanks again Andy & Glenn for your quick response & help, much appreciated.

[andybotting]

Great news. I'll add this to our FAQ I think.

So we've been picked up by SuperRepo and TV Addons - and conflict with Ares. Ugh
