My own repository…not working

Posted on Author Kodi Community Forum - All Forums

Hi guys,

I have developed the Light IMDb Ratings Update add-on and as a further step it would be nice to provide it to the community through a my repository.

At the moment, I have created this repository on GitHub where inside the folder named repo is possible to find the requested files addons.xml, addons.xml.md5 and the two add-ons Light IMDb Ratings Update and axlt2002.repository in the zip format under the respective folders.

Using the latest Kodi 18 alpha, the issue is that when I enter the axlt2002.repository, it results empty:

while on Kodi 17.3 i receive the message “Could not connect to the repository”.

I’m quite puzzled… Frown

Hereafter I report you the content of the maim files; so if you can check them or try them it would be really beneficial for me. Being honest, to me it seems that everything is correct…

      <description lang="en">Light IMDb Ratings Update runs as a Kodi service to update the ratings, votes and IMDb Top 250 for Movies as well as the ratings and votes for TV Shows (including Episodes) by scraping the data from the IMDb site. The update can be scheduled once a week and it will run as soon as possible after a scheduled start is missed. The prerequisites to run the add-on are the installation of PHP (please refer to the file readme.txt) and the availability of the IMDb IDs for the Movies, TV Shows and Episodes you want to be updated (please check the add-on thread in the Kodi forum for more details). Light IMDb Ratings Update runs on Kody 17 (and beyond) for Windows.</description>
