Could not connect to repository - LE 10.0 Beta

[Pipodi]

I was trying to install Transmission on my LE distro on a RPi4, but I´m getting this error on kodi.log

Any news on this? When this issue will be fixed ?

[TepMan]

Have the same issue, Kodi 19.1.0 LibreELEC 9.95.5 (10.0), service.thoradia-9.80.6.25.zip, any news on it?

[my2dream]

The same issue arises for me, too.
kodi 19.1 LibreELEC 9.95.5 (10.0), service.thoradia-9.80.6.25.zip

Isn't this the version you support?
"for LibreELEC version 9.80.x or higher,..."
from https://github.com/thoradia/thoradia

Is there anything available in version LibreELEC 9.95.5 ?

This is still happening in the definitive version of LibreELEC 10, running on Raspberry Pi 4B 4GB RAM.

It seems that the issue is that the files are not located in the right place in the repo.

The problem isn't that the files are not located in the right place, but that those files do not exist. The plugins (almost surely) won't work with LE10/Kodi 19. The easiest way to solve this is to use the docker version of the programs, provided by linuxserver.io.

[Tamh]

Funny that you mention that the plugins don't work with LE10/Kodi 19, since I forked this project, cloned it locally, renamed the folders to 10, changed a couple things in the Python file, and all the plugins I use are working without issue:

• qbittorrent
• aria2
• radarr
• nzbget

[Petemir]

Well, I don't know if it is funny, but it is lucky for you :) . I said that they almost surely won't work. Kodi 19 dropped support for python2, so depending on how long ago the different plugins were updated in this repo, they may have (or not) be already updated to python3.

If the repository doesn't have the /10.0.0/ paths in it, it may indicate something; most likely, that the kodi version isn't supported (or, at least, it hasn't been tested/approved by the maintainer).

@Tamh I looked at your fork but couldn't find the zip for radarr, is it published anywhere?

I also tried installing your repo on my LibreELEC-RPi4.arm-10.95.0.img.gz, but again we bump into the issue of the repo not having the files for a specific LE version (the source of this issue). Maybe there's a way to modify the repo installation script so that it falls back into the nearest major version release of the repo, instead of failing?

The easiest way to solve this is to use the docker version of the programs, provided by linuxserver.io.

I ended up doing this. Thanks for the idea!

I forked the add-on repo, adapted it for LE11, and installed it on my RPi4 and everything worked great.
