Repository failed to add (Resolved)

Hello all,
I’m having some problems and I have spent a great deal of time researching it but I am coming up short. I am trying to add the Kodi 17 can 4 build to my raspberry pi 3 and I am having an issue with adding the repository needed for it. According to similar, yet not the same errors this generally ends up being some dist or key issue but I really dont understand. I dont want to mess up my build and have to start fresh again so I’m asking here before I go tossing random commands in lol.

Any help would be appreciated for what I am missing here…

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/unstable
You are about to add the following PPA to your system:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/bin/add-apt-repository”, line 167, in <module>

(self.id, self.codename))
aptsources.distro.NoDistroTemplateException: Error: could not find a distribution template for Raspbian/jessie

The end desired result is to be able to
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/unstable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install kodi (and get the can 4 version 17)

Thanks for the help![/code]
