Location of plugin's for kodi?

mediamogul

It should be /home/pi/RetroPie/.kodi/addons. You'll also want to merge your userdata to /home/pi/RetroPie/.kodi/userdata to retain your settings.

@mediamogul Just to add that on RetroPie we symlink the /home/pi/.kodi folder to /opt/retropie/configs/ports/kodi which is accessible easily over the windows share.

@mediamogul said in Location of plugin's for kodi?:

/home/pi/RetroPie/.kodi/

/home/pi/RetroPie/.kodi/ is not there. is there a way to see it?
sorry im still new at this.

@deltax5

If you're using Windows or Mac OSX, you can use this information to find to Kodi folder in the 'configs' share. In any other event, try looking at /opt/retropie/configs/ports/kodi.

BuZz

@deltax5 The path is /home/pi/.kodi/ not /home/pi/RetroPie/.kodi/ as mentioned (or /opt/retropie/configs/ports/kodi which is where it points to)

Deltax5

/opt/retropie/configs/ports/kodi is empty?

BuZz

@deltax5 What's the output of

ls -la ~/.kodi

? If you have an old retropie the files may be in the other location I mentioned. I have no idea what version you are running (see https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first)

Deltax5

newest version on this site. just installed a week ago.

BuZz

@deltax5 Please read the link again. (RetroPie Version Used (eg 3.6, 3.8.1, 4.1 - do not write latest):)

You can get the version number from RetroPie-Setup

Deltax5

RetroPie 4.2 and using winscp 5.10.2

BuZz

@deltax5 Please post the output of the command I posted above from a terminal.

Deltax5

pi@retropie:~ $ ls -la ~/.kodi
lrwxrwxrwx 1 pi pi 32 Jul 17 20:32 /home/pi/.kodi -> /opt/retropie/configs/ports /kodi

BuZz

@deltax5 then I guess the folder is empty.

BuZz

@deltax5 what's the output of

ls -la /opt/retropie/configs/ports/kodi

?

Deltax5

pi@retropie:~ $ ls -la /opt/retropie/configs/ports/kodi

@deltax5 the folder isn't empty. You must be looking at the wrong location in winscp.

Deltax5

ok must of been wrong location. I got it now. Just copyed the url in it and got it thanks. I eneded up just putting the apps in ziped folders and installing it with kodi that way. Sigh.

Deltax5

At least I got it working now. There is a big bust with some repository on kodi and it's hard to get some apps now. some even got shut down.
