Addons start button greyed out

1st Official Post

    Hi,

    Installed the latest version of LibreELEC. The issue is: I can install addons, but not possible to start any of them. The "start" button is greyed out. The only addon i can start is the LibreELEC configuration. Somebody any idea how to solve this?

    Thanks in advance

    "Latest" is not a version number

    Which addon are you referring to? Please name them. As none of the add-ons I know of has a "start" button". Probably you mean "open" and if that's greyed out, you probably need to enable that add-on. Depending on which kind of add-on we are talking about. Hence the question which add-on it is.

    Just to add to that... if you've 'installed' an addon but 'open' is greyed out because it's not enabled...

    how did you install it / them?

    If you install from a repo or install from a zip file (via the gui) anything you install should be enabled by default.

    Any other (ie officially unsupported) way leaves addons disabled, so you need to enable them separately.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the reactions. LibreELEC version is 8.0.2. For example the add-ons (webinterfaces): Arch, AWXI, Chorus, Hax are installing but the start button is still grey. Also (i think installed by default) Kodi web interface - Chorus2. Is installed but not starting, they also not available in the add-on menu (i added a screenshot, hard to see but configuration/ start is greyed out). I see no where a option to "enable" them. Iam a noob with this, so if i do something wrong or you guys need more info ask me.

    Thanks again!

    You don't run a web-interface within kodi - you just set the addon you want to use (in estuary that's found in settings / services / control / web-interface) and connect from your browser. The right one should appear.

    It's not very intuitive.

    Correct.

    Webinterfaces don't "start" inside Kodi like the Youtube-Add-on for example.

    Like it's being said, you have to enter the service settings:

    And then the control-section:

    Inside that section you will see an option which is called "Web interface". At that option you are able to choose which Webinterface you want to use and Kodi will start that service for you. But that's not directly visible. Only if you connect from a browser to the IP of you Kodi machine.

    If it's the same PC (so browser and Kodi on the same PC), you are also able to enter: 127.0.0.1:8080

    at your browser. As 127.0.0.1 is always your local host. the "8080" is the port which is specified for the webserver. if you change that in the settings, you need to connect to that port.

    if it's another PC you have to check the network section of the system info to get your internal IP of that Kodi machine and then connect to that.
