how to build/install addon in the image

1st Official Post

    Hello,

    I want to build some addons available in packages/addons/

    For what I saw,

    to build them I need to manually run "scripts/install_addon <addon_name>"

    This creates the addon structure in build/addons and installs it in target/addons/

    Is there a way to install it in the image directly ?

    Maybe I'm wrong in the way I build addons?

    Thank you for your help

    Not sure what you try.

    Do you try this at your LibreELEC/Kodi Box ?

    We have also all addons at our repository that is included at Kodi. So you can install all LE addons directly from Kodi.

    I'm trying to compile from scratch (using the docker image).

    And to include everything I need in the box, to avoid a network installation (for instance: packages/addons/service/bluetooth-audio).

    Of course I can use the scripts/install_addon script to create the addon,

    then create another package to install the generated service.bluetooth-audio addon,

    not reliable to my point of view.

    I can try to hack the framework to make it work and propose a PR but maybe I take the wrong direction and a smarter way already exists.
