unable to activate bluecop repository on raspberry pi openelec

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. install bluecop from zipfile - indicates enabled repository, but none get 
loaded
2. bluecop addon list remains empty
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected to see the available addons under bluecop Add-on Repository. None 
displayed

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Raspberry pi, Openelec 2.99.2

Please provide any additional information below.
xbmc log: http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=31646

The log suggests, the location of addons might be incorrectly specified
INFO: ADDON: cpluff: 'Could not read plug-in directory /usr/lib/xbmc/addons: No 
such file or directory'

The addon dir is /storage/.xbmc/addons. An ls on that folder suggests the 
repository is there though:
root ~ # ls /storage/.xbmc/addons/repository.bluecop.xbmc-plugins/
addon.xml

addon.xml contents: http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=31649

I was having the same problem, but finally got it to work.  Using the context 
menu on the "bluecop Add-on Repository" and select "Force refresh".  If I went 
into the repo right away it was still empty.  I tried again later but gave it 
some time, maybe 15 minutes, and then it worked.  Hope it works for you too.

Excellent, thanks brian!

I had to combine both your suggestions:
- Force refresh did not do it for me
- Turning on debugging as per 
http://code.google.com/p/bluecop-xbmc-repo/issues/detail?id=202 - no luck
- turning on debugging, then forcing refresh + some patience - succes!

Summary: Raspberry pi Model B, OpenElec 2.99, wifi D-link dwa-131, bluecop Free 
Cable addon all nicely working together. Except for the fix here no special 
configuration needed.

it should be among the options you see when right-clicking on the
repository.

Same problem. I checked the log for errors:

cat ~/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log

And found sql errors like these:
13:17:23 T:2930766912   ERROR: IsAddonDisabled failed on addon xbmc.core
13:17:23 T:2930766912   ERROR: SQL: SQL error or missing database
                                            Query: delete from broken where addonID='plugin.v

This worked for me:

sudo rm -rf ~/.xbmc
sudo reboot

(found it here: http://forum.stmlabs.com/showthread.php?tid=4362&pid=35975 - 
took me ages)
Obviously, this deletes some, most or all of your settings.
