Installing Builds

drinfernoo edited this page Jan 15, 2019 · 16 revisions

This file is used to supply your wizard with builds to install, as well as being responsible for auto-updating your wizard if there is no repository, and is typically named builds.txt.

Example builds.txt:

id="plugin.program.aftermath"
version="0.4.5"
zip="url.to.wizard"

name="Example Build 1"
version="1.0"
url="url.to.build"
minor="http://"
gui="url.to.guisettings"
kodi="17.6"
theme="url.to.themes"
icon="http://"
fanart="http://"
preview="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djV11Xbc914"
adult="no"
info="url.to.info"
description="A short description of the build."

name="Example Build 2"
version="1.0"
url="url.to.build"
minor="http://"
gui="url.to.guisettings"
kodi="18.0"
theme="url.to.themes"
icon="http://"
fanart="http://"
preview="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_jWHffIx5E"
adult="no"
info="url.to.info"
description="A short description of the build."

If there is no repository, and auto-updating is desired, the beginning of the file must contain the following three fields:

Field Description
id The plugin id for the wizard
version The newest version to update to
zip A url that points to the wizard .zip file

For adding builds, simply add the following section for each build:

Field Description
name The name that will show in the wizard
version The version of the build
url A URL that points to the build .zip
minor A number used to indicate that this is a minor update, not requiring a fresh install. This feature is currently disabled in the wizard.
gui A URL that points to a quisettings.xml file for the build
kodi The Kodi version number that the build is compatible with
theme A URL that points to a themes.txt file for this build
icon A URL to an icon to be shown in Kodi. This must be a 512x512 pixel .png file. Use "http://" for the default icon.
fanart A URL to the fanart to be shown in Kodi. This must be a 512x512 pixel .png file. Use "http://" for the default fanart.
preview A URL that points to a YouTube video to use as a build preview
adult Whether this build contains adult content. Must be either "yes" or "no".
