[NXP] Can't open LibreELEC Add-on repository

  • I have installed in my cubox a nightly version (nightly 20250610 a34f2d0) and trying to open libbreelec add-ons repository I get this error: could not connect to repository

    Does someone know how I could fix it?

    Thank you in advance!

  • LE13 or LE12.2 nightly?

    If LE13, the only repo's we keep long-term are the release ones. Development repo's are version bumped periodically when either we or Kodi make breaking changes, and a month or so after bumping we normally delete the previous one to save disk space. The development cycle for K22 has been long and we bumped the repo a few times so the repo version for a nightly image more than a year old will be long gone. You have two self-build options: either revert the master branch to a similar date point to the image and build the add-on that you need. Or (as Cubox shows almost zero active installs and we disabled CI for it) self-build a current LE13 image and it will be able to access the current add-on repo (shared with all other 'arm' arch devices we support).

    If LE12 or LE12.2 .. as long as the nightly is since the main release it uses the production/release repo (which still exists) and there is some kind of networking issue between the device and our repo that stops you from accessing it - or Kodi started before networking was fully up and the initial connect failed. Start with ensuring the boot delay is active in Kodi settings (or make it longer) and then doing a forced refresh of the repo a couple of minutes after boot.

  • Yes, sorry, it is 13.0 (Linux 6.15.1). Kodi 22.0-ALPHA1 (21.90.700).

    My PC is too old and it would be a real pain trying to compile on my own. I understand that both options you propose imply compilation, am I right?

    For some add-ons I am able to download and install from zip, but for others, it is really hard to find the proper compatible version (e.g. retro arch, vfs). Is there any mirror in which I could find compatible add-ons?

    Thank you
