Nexus 20.0 tvOS - add on not available - how to add to DMG

[KDUGS]

As title suggest inputstream adaptive and RTMP input are available but ffmpegdirect is not showing. Is there a way to solve this manually or wait for a later release?

[lrusak]

~~It should be available as it was part of the tagged release. https://jenkins.kodi.tv/view/Addons/job/xbmc/job/inputstream.ffmpegdirect/view/tags/job/20.5.0-Nexus/2/~~

~~Can you post a debug log?~~

EDIT: I forgot tvOS bundles the addons. It looks like this addon fails to build for tvOS on nexus. https://jenkins.kodi.tv/job/TVOS/13287/

That would be why it wasn't included in the release.

The strange this here is that the addon builds perfectly on its own in this project. It only fails as part of the bundled kodi build and I don’t know why.

[KDUGS]

Is there a way to install the add on manually, either thru Kodi or thru xcode ?

[phunkyfish]

The issue is that the addon needs to be signed and made part of the build package.

@kambala-decapitator can you advise on how to do this? Then I can immortalise it as part of the Readme

[kambala-decapitator]

oh sorry for the late response.

1. download Kodi deb and the addon
2. unpack the deb in Terminal: ar -p PATH_TO_DEB data.tar.xz | tar -xf - - Kodi.app will appear in directory Applications relative to the current Terminal directory (by default it will be your user directory, so ~/Applications)
3. unpack addon and copy the unpacked directory (inputstream.ffmpegdirect) to Kodi.app/AppData/AppHome/addons
4. sign Kodi.app like you always do

Edit: Now working by downloading from e.g. https://jenkins.kodi.tv/view/Omega%20Binary%20Add-ons/job/xbmc/job/inputstream.ffmpegdirect/job/Nexus/

Hi

Can't get this to work, what am I doing wrong?

Downloaded and unzipped inputstream.ffmpegdirect

Unpacked the .deb and got a kodi.app

Have placed the inputstream.ffmpegdirect (from within inputstream.ffmpegdirect-Nexus) dir in the Kodi.app (show package contents) dir Kodi.app/AppData/AppHome/addons

Signed the kodi.app (not .deb) using iOS App Signer

Xcode to install the kodi.app

Can't see the add on anywhere

Thanks

just did it with Omega alpha 2 version, the add-on appeared in the list and works fine. Downloaded it from https://jenkins.kodi.tv/view/Omega%20Binary%20Add-ons/job/xbmc/job/inputstream.ffmpegdirect/job/Omega/

P.S. I had also posted the same install instructions in https://github.com/xbmc/inputstream.ffmpegdirect/issues/196#issuecomment-1200107384
