compile non-official addon

1st Official Post

    How can I compile an addon that is not found in the kodi repository, or in the librelect repository, only I have with the binary files? The addon that I'm trying to add to a compilation of librelec is a modified version of pvr.iptvsimple

    Our build system is designed to compile things from source code. You can either patch the source code at build time or post-patch to overwrite the compiled binaries using other files local to the build system. However, you won't get detailed help on pvr.iptvsimple hacks without a convincing reason for using external binaries? i.e. one that doesn't involve accessing pirate IPTV services. If that's the use-case, don't bother asking.

    chewitt The modification to the iptvsimple code is only that it was eliminated that the user can configure a url to obtain the m3u file and the XMLTV file (a default url has been configured).

    On the other hand, we added a function to obtain the MAC address of a specific port to be able to identify it in our backend, the value of the mac is sent as a parameter when trying to obtain the remote files.

    It is not an addon to transmit pirate signals, all the signals that we are going to transmit have the permissions.

    Quote from chewitt

    Commercial entities posting in our forums are asked (under forum rules) to declare themselves so other users (and forum staff) are aware they are not normal users. So I must ask .. what company is the "we" you are representing?

    At the moment we are not a company, it is a project that I am creating with some friends.

    I was able to create an addon with my modified version, but is it possible to pre-install the addon when the Libreelec compilation is generated?
