Addon installer on Kodi

Eddyperez

I installed kodi on retropie and works well, then i installed the addon installer but when i try to access to featured addons doesn't show nothing.
Does anybody know about this problem? Sorry for my english, i'm from spain. Thanks.

Yea it has to do with ssl

The fix is this,
sudo apt-get install mlocate
sudo updatedb
locate downloader.py
cd to the directory that has the downloader.py file
rm downloader.pyo

Edit your downloader.py file
sudo nano downloader.py

add theese lines

import ssl
ssl._create_default_https_context = ssl._create_unverified_context

Ctrl x and press y to save

reboot kodi and addoninstaller will work.

same fix will work for the addons config service just repeat the above steps for its directory

Cool thing is any apps installed wont need the fix run against them they will work as normal.

Thank you very much, I'll try it.

There is a bazillion things you can do with kodi.
I have a friend who is better at it then me who does crazy theme changes and stuff. I can show a video of it but have not found a way to replicate it.

@Twitch0815 Great, the themes things its ok i'm googling a lot on those days and testing somes configs. lol
What im saiyng is the configuration to make the KODI work well like ssl configuration that you mentioned,

But, if your friend got a good video, infromation is never too much! lol

Sorry i'm new to linux, I'm searching for this downloader.py file and i can't seem to find it. what directory is it in?

@ssphaneuf

In linux super easy way to find something is with the command locate.

You need to install it

sudo apt-get install mlocate

then update your search metadata

sudo updatedb

then just type locate and what you are looking for

ie

locate downloader.py

And it will spit out every path that has a downloader.py file in it.

I don't have kodi installed and avaiable to double check the directory but if you just follow the steps above you will find it.

@ssphaneuf

/home/pi/.kodi/addons/plugin.program.addoninstaller/downloader.py

Is the directory

After some tinkering, i figured it out but only because you gave me the path to where the file path was. I tried searching for the file with the mlocate but there was nothing showing on the out put or what ever. Thanks for putting the directory, i was asble to find the file i needed to modify and it's working correctly now. Thanks a bunch!!!!
