Manage dependencies

Settings level:

Advanced

Description:

Many add-ons require other add-ons to work. These are called dependencies. An example of this are Skins that install other add-ons to provide further features. When a skin or other type of add-on is uninstalled, it may leave behind add-on dependencies. Check here which dependencies are installed, access their informaiton page and their status. Items listed as Orphaned are no longer required by any add-on and are safe to uninstall.

Unknown sources

Settings level:	Basic
Description:	The only trusted Repository is the Kodi Official Repository. This repository is enabled by default. To install add-ons that are not in the Kodi repository, you must enable this setting to allow installing add-ons using the zip file method. See: Installing from zip file

Update official add-ons from

Settings level:

Standard

Description:

When an add-on exists in the official Kodi repository and also in another repository installed on your system (eg a developers beta channel), this setting determines where updates should be installed from. The default download location will always be the Kodi repository. If you prefer to download from the developer's more frequently updated beta channel, then select Any repository to download the newest version from any repository. This is a global setting.
