install from zip not available?

suikerchiller · October 22, 2017 at 6:31 PM

Hi guys,

I've enabled the "trust unknown sources" in the Addon Systems Settings... But for some reason I still don't get any install from zip functionality. I need this feature so I can install an unreleased master for the NFL Gamepass addon (which is part of the official Kodi repo). Any idea why this feature is unavailable? Also, would there be an alternative way to install a zip file as addon? (got SSH access to the device).

Many thanks in advance!

I think suikerchiller is trying to find install from zip file from home menu Categories / Add-ons / there is only install from repository visible up the top.

From Home menu open Add-ons then choose the little open box icon top left to get to install from zip file menu option.

This is presuming Estuary Skin is being used.

Thanks kostaman you read my mind The functionality is properly hidden in this skin, wonder why it can't be accessed via the system settings menu?

Either way, issue resolved. Thx!
