Kodi having issues installing from the same zip repeatedly

2 years ago by haui to c/addons4kodi

Hi! I'm currently working on a kodi addon and I found that if you install/update from a zip file, then delete and replace the zip file with updated content, kodi cant load the contents for some reason. You have to restart. Then it works as expected. Uninstalling and reinstalling doesnt change it.

Anyone have experience with this?

I just started playing around with creating an add-on and yes, I have the same experience. Have you found a solution?

Hi there. Thanks for commenting on this. I did find "kind of" a solution. I wrote a script which directly replaced the files I changed in the target directly instead of going over the installation process again and again.

This is not how its supposed to be of course. I should have opened an issue but rn I dont have the time. Hope this helps.

Hoi. Thanks for letting me know. I now program directly in the target directory. So far that works.
