Hello guys,

how do I get the zipfile of any addon?

Change project, arch and version to what you need: addons.xml.gz

Look inside and download as zip file script.moonlight-8.2.107.zip

Use 'wget' from the SSH console. You cannot view/download using a web browser.

only if you use an "User Agent switcher" addon for your browser + add Kodi as user agent

Look inside addons.xml to get the name of zip file to download.

Here's a script that should simplify that task: Install or remove addon from command line

so long,

wget or curl from an LE box, you cannot download in a browser

I'm standing a little in the dark of how I can download a specific addon version for my generic x64 device as a .ZIP file from the official LibreELEC repository by using wget. How can I find out the specific path to a specific version of a specific addon?

Why deny other user-agents at all? Every other Linux distribution keeps their repositories open.
