Addon marked broken #191

Closed AleXSR700 closed 2 years ago

AleXSR700 commented 3 years ago

Hello everyone, I saw that the addon was now marked broken.

It cannot be used/installed on Kodi 18.x or 19.x.

Was this marked by you or automatically? I could not find any info. I was surprised that it was marked broken on my Kodi 18.x installations also.

Thank you for your hard work!

Yes, it was marked broken by Team Kodi and we are in discussions to resolve this issue. I am sorry but this will take some time...

May we know how this happened? :)

codingPF commented 3 years ago

Sure...they looked at the update procedure and have concerns that this kind update is not compliant to there policies.

Ch1llb0 commented 3 years ago

Ah, I can see here: https://github.com/xbmc/repo-plugins/pull/3387 Hopefully, you can clear this and get the addon back into the repo soon!

Can you please explain how to create a working ZIP file to install the addon via "Unknown Sources" or provide an own addon repo? I just updated to Matrix, thought the addon was gone because of a bug :-(

@knoedel001 https://kodirepo.mediathekview.de/ I used this one. There is also a ZIP file for Matrix https://kodirepo.mediathekview.de/repo-beta/plugin.video.mediathekview/plugin.video.mediathekview-1.0.0%2Bmatrix.1.zip

Thank you!

I will keep my fingers crossed that you can resolve the issues without having to do too much additional work.

I do see their point and I was surprised to read that your database approach is for speed purposes. I actually find that on Android SmartTVs the update process of MediathekView is much slower than any other plugin using streaming content (e.g. ran, ProSiebenSat.1, the old mediathek plugins which were replaced by yours, NFL Game Pass, etc.).

That deepens pretty much on what you are up to. Searching in several sources just takes quite long and a DB is faster but if you know that you are looking for - a specific plugin for one single source is surely fast. In case you are just up for a single source, you may want to just simply install this source and do not care for the others.

AleXSR700 commented 3 years ago

I meant the updating of the database. That is not dependend on the network speed but the device speed. So you have to wait until that process is done. A live update directly via the API is much faster than creating/updating an entire database.

We have not been able to bring this dission to a good end. Therefore new releases will be added to our Repo from now on.

beta-tester commented 2 years ago

can you please add a note to the "Install" and "Installation" section of the README.md file. it took me quite some time to figure out how to install this add-on for Kodi 19.

Please feel free to make suggestion here/in a new issue or directly via PR…
