Installation instructions:

Currently Omega is only supported from my repository. I will submit it to the official Kodi repo shortly. In the meantime, to install:

  1. Add the location of my repository as a source in File Manager: https://realcopacetic.github.io
  2. Now if you go to settings > system > Add-ons and enable ‘Unknown sources’.
  3. From the same screen choose ‘Any repositories’ under ‘Update official addons from’ – as this will allow Kodi to pull updates straight from my repo even if you installed via Kodi’s official repo.
  4. Go to Addonbrowser and install from zip. Choose the new source and install the zip file.
  5. Now go to the repo and install Copacetic. It should install the required dependencies. In the info screen you can set it to automatically update
