Submitting Add-ons

2020-07-05T12:29:25Z

Basje: Updated the add-on submission rules

{{mininav|[[Development]]|[[Add-on development]]}}

=== Submitting a Compliant Add-on to the Kodi.tv Repo ===

After you have read the [[Add-on rules|repository guidelines]] and made sure your addon is compliant with them, you may begin the submission process using the following steps.

=== Allowed submissions ===

We have restricted the allowed submissions of add-ons to past Kodi versions.
Several reasons:
* Kodi code improvements
* Reduce support load for add-on developers
* Reduce workload for repository maintainers

Below is a table of on which submissions are allowed to official Kodi repository.

{| class="prettytable" border="1"
|+ Allowed add-on submissions
! codename !! version !! update !! new
|-
| Dharma || 10.x || no || no
|-
| Eden || 11.x || no || no
|-
| Frodo || 12.x || no || no
|-
| Gotham || 13.x || yes || no
|-
| Helix || 14.x || yes || no
|-
| Isengard || 15.x || yes || no
|-
| Jarvis || 16.x || yes || no
|-
| Krypton || 17.x || yes || no
|-
| Leia || 18.x || yes || yes
|-
| Matrix || 19.x || yes || yes
|}

Additional feature is that we now use combined repositories. So if your add-on is Gotham/Helix compatible, you only need to send it to Gotham repository.
If it's only Helix compatible you need to send it to Helix repository.
This of course requires that the minimal Kodi dependencies are set accordingly.

=== Github ===

==== Pull requests ====
New add-ons or updates may be submitted directly to the [[Official add-on repository]] on Github as pull requests. We are aware that this requires some initial git knowledge and we strongly suggest to read up on this subject before submitting a pull request.

To reduce size we have split up the git repositories in several locations. Please visit [[Official add-on repository]] to see where they are. Each contains a small readme with a short description of it's contents as well as a link to a short explanation on how to submit using git command line. There are also git tools available that have a graphic interface and the steps above should be done in a similar way. Please consult the manual of those programs.

In addition to the [[Add-on rules|repository guidelines]] the following rules apply when submitting PRs on Github:

* PR should contain one commit only.
* Commit message should have the format "[addonid] version". Example: "[my.cool.addon] 1.0.1"

If Team Kodi reviewers asked you to make some changes in your PR, follow this procedure: [[HOW-TO: Update a pull request to an official addon repository on GitHub]].

Only PRs from the add-on author or his successor will be accepted. Patches should be submitted upstream to the original author first. For an easy way to create PR from your own git repository, see [[HOW-TO: create add-on PRs using Git Subtree Merging]].

==== Issue ticket ====

'''This route is only available for skins in https://github.com/xbmc/repo-skins.
'''

For skins submissions you may also use the "issue" option where you submit a request to get you add-on added. In this ticket you need to provide the basic information needed so our repo maintainers know where to get the correct version.
This consists of
- Add-on name:
- Add-on ID:
- Version number:
- Kodi/repository version:
- Code location URL:
- Revision/tag:
- Branch:

Further information is provide when you initially create the issue on github as comments in the ticket.
Same [[Add-on rules|repository guidelines]] apply here as well.

==== How to submit your add-on and subsequent updates ====
Submitting updates is done the same way as with pull requests or issue ticket.

==== Repository lists ====
You can create pull requests or tickets on the following individual repositories.

https://github.com/xbmc/repo-plugins
https://github.com/xbmc/repo-resources
https://github.com/xbmc/repo-scrapers
https://github.com/xbmc/repo-scripts
https://github.com/xbmc/repo-skins
https://github.com/xbmc/repo-webinterfaces

=== Additional information ===
Note that skin .xbt files will be generated automatically for skins so you do not include this in your pull request or created tickets.
After the add-on has been added or updated it will be available from the Kodi repository in Kodi itself, on http://addons.kodi.tv/ and on the wiki page http://kodi.wiki/index.php?title=Category:All_add-ons.

{{Note|Please locate you add-on in the root of the git repository. This to make sure we can easily pull the add-on into our repository.
Example: https://github.com/XBMC-Addons/service.xbmc.versioncheck}}

{{tip|We automatically combine all repos into one single repo list on our server and provide that list to Kodi. You only need to do a request for the minimum repo your add-on supports.}}

=== The mailing list ===

''' MAILINGLIST IS NOT USED ANYMORE. ALL REQUESTS SHOULD GO THROUGH GITHUB '''

Context Item Add-ons

2020-04-25T17:56:33Z

Basje: /* Accessing information about selected item */

Context item add-ons allows the [[context menu]] in Kodi to be extended. Add-ons must provide the <code>kodi.context.item</code> extension point and a <menu> definition.

Example:

<syntaxhighlight lang="xml">
<extension point="kodi.context.item">
<menu id="kodi.core.main">
<item library="contextitem.py">
<label>30000</label>
<visible>true</visible>
</item>
</menu>
</extension>
</syntaxhighlight>

The first <menu> element defines which top level menu to attach to. In core, there are two available: <code>kodi.core.main</code> and <code>kodi.core.manage</code>. Add-on may attach to menu defined by other add-ons as well. Next, the <item> element defines the action to add to the menu. <code>library</code> is the file to execute, <label> a string or an ID from the language file to show in the context menu. Each menu need to have unique <code>library</code> specified. Duplicate items are ignored.

<visible> (required) should contain a [[Conditional visibility|visibility expression]] and will determine when the item is be visible in the [[context menu]].

This feature requires at least version 2.23.0 of the Python API (Jarvis), which should be specified in the [[Addon.xml#<requires>]] element:
<syntaxhighlight lang="xml">
<import addon="xbmc.python" version="2.23.0"/>
</syntaxhighlight>

{{note|Kodi v19 Matrix and later.}}

In Kodi v19 Matrix and later, it is possible to specify an optional <code>args</code> attribute to a context item. The contents of this attribute will be passed as an argument to the script specified in the <code>library</code> attribute. It can be accessed via <code>sys.argv</code>. The combination of <code>args</code> and <code>library</code> need to be unique. Duplicate combinations are ignored.

<syntaxhighlight lang="xml">
<extension point="kodi.context.item">
<menu id="kodi.core.main">
<item library="contextitem.py" args="command_arg">
<label>30000</label>
<visible>true</visible>
</item>
</menu>
</extension>
</syntaxhighlight>

{{Note|Keep in mind that there is limited space in the [[context menu]]. Attaching context menu to an add-on will force the user to have all of them enabled at the same time. Consider using [[#submenus]] or a creating a separate add-on.}}

== Submenus ==

<menu> and <item> elements may be mixed and nested to created submenus. Example:

<syntaxhighlight lang="xml">
<menu id="kodi.core.main">
<menu>
<label>My submenu</label>
<item library="contextitem1.py">
<label>30001</label>
<visible>true</visible>
</item>
<item library="contextitem2.py">
<label>30002</label>
<visible>true</visible>
</item>
<menu>
<label>Subsubmenu</label>
<item library="contextitem3.py">
<label>30003</label>
<visible>true</visible>
</item>
</menu>
</menu>
</syntaxhighlight>

== Accessing information about selected item ==

The <code>sys.listitem</code> attribute contains a copy of the item the context menu was opened on. It is an instance of <code>xbmcgui.ListItem</code>. See https://codedocs.xyz/xbmc/xbmc/group__python__xbmcgui__listitem.html for available properties.

Example script:

<syntaxhighlight lang="python">
import sys
import xbmc

if __name__ == '__main__':
message = "Clicked on '{}'".format(sys.listitem.getLabel())
xbmcgui.Dialog().notification("Hello context items!", message)
</syntaxhighlight>

== v15 Isengard (deprecated) ==
Isengard, API version 2.20.0, does not support <menu> definition and can only define a single item as follows:
<syntaxhighlight lang="xml">
<extension point="kodi.context.item" library="addon.py">
<item>
<label>Hello World</label>
<visible>!IsEmpty(ListItem.Genre)</visible>
<parent>kodi.core.manage</parent>
</item>
</extension>
</syntaxhighlight>

This syntax is considered deprecated and will be removed in future versions.

Note: Both syntaxes are '''backwards''' and '''forward''' compatible. Add-ons may use both the old <item> and the new <menu> at the same time for comparability with v15 Isengard and v16 Jarvis.

Addon.xml

2018-09-16T15:10:20Z

Basje: /* */

{{mininav|[[Development]]|[[Add-on development]]}}
 

Every skin, script, or plugin in Kodi contains an <code>addon.xml</code> file which describes the add-on, providing credits, version information and dependencies. Below, we will explain how this file is structured and which elements must be used to create an add-on for Kodi. You can also consult the examples at the end to see how this file is laid out depending on if you are developing a skin or script.

Every <code>addon.xml</code> file has the same basic structure, this example is for a video plugin:

<syntaxhighlight lang="xml" enclose="div">
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<addon id="plugin.addon.id" name="Your Add-on" version="1.2.3" provider-name="You">
<requires>
<import addon="xbmc.python" version="2.1.0"/>
</requires>
<extension point="xbmc.python.pluginsource" library="addon.py">
<provides>video</provides>
</extension>
<extension point="xbmc.addon.metadata">
<summary lang="en_GB">Your add-on's summary</summary>
<description lang="en_GB">Your add-on's description</description>
<disclaimer lang="en_GB"></disclaimer>
<language></language>
<platform>all</platform>
<license></license>
<forum></forum>
<website></website>
<email></email>
<source></source>
<news></news>
<assets>
<icon></icon>
<fanart></fanart>
<banner></banner>
<clearlogo></clearlogo>
<screenshot></screenshot>
</assets>
</extension>
</addon>
</syntaxhighlight>

There are a few important things to note in the above sample:

* The <code><addon></code> element must be present, and be the root node. It presents data about the add-on package as a whole.
* Inside the <code><addon></code> element is a <code><requires></code> element, listing all the dependencies that this add-on needs in order to function.
* Then there are one or more <code><extension></code> elements, each of which describes a part of Kodi that the add-on extends.
* Finally, there is a specific <code><extension></code> element that extends <code>"xbmc.addon.metadata"</code>. This describes the add-on to the user.
* Banners and clearlogos assets exclusive to Kodi v.18+
= Elements =

== <addon> ==

The <code><addon></code> element has 4 attributes, all required: <code>id</code>, <code>version</code>, <code>name</code>, and <code>provider-name</code>. For example:

<source lang="xml">
<addon id="script.hello.world" name="Hello World" version="0.0.1" provider-name="Dev1, Dev2">
</source>

=== id attribute ===

The id attribute is the unique identifier used for this add-on. It must be unique, and must use only lowercase characters, periods, underscores, dashes and numbers. This identifier is also used as the name of the folder that contains the add-on, so for ease of searching, we suggest you use something like <type>.<uniquename>.

=== version attribute ===

The version attribute is used by Kodi to determine whether updates are available. This should be use a version scheme like <code>x.y.z</code> (major.minor.patch). For example: <code>version="0.0.1"</code>. Generally, you'll start with a version of <code>0.y.z</code> for test releases and once you feel it is ready for a full release, you'd bump the version to <code>1.0.0</code>.

==== How versioning works ====

* <code>2.2.9</code> is newer than <code>2.2.1</code>
* <code>2.2.10</code> is newer than <code>2.2.1</code>
* <code>2.3.0</code> is newer than <code>2.2.9</code>
* <code>2.2.1</code> is newer than <code>2.2.1~alpha</code>
* <code>2.2.1</code> is newer than <code>2.2.1~beta</code>
* <code>2.2.1~beta</code> is newer than <code>2.2.1~alpha</code>
* <code>2.2.1~beta3</code> is newer than <code>2.2.1~beta2</code>
* <code>2.2.1~beta10</code> is newer than <code>2.2.1~beta1</code>

{{tip|Text should only be added for a beta version. In other cases version number should only contain numbers.}}

=== name attribute ===

The name attribute is the name of the add-on as it appears in the UI. This should be in English where it makes sense for it to be so, and is not translatable.

=== provider-name attribute ===

The provider-name attribute is used as the author field. This could be a team of authors or a single author. If the add-on is maintained by multiple people please separate them with a comma (<code>,</code>).

== <requires> ==

The <code><requires></code> element contains one or more <code><import></code> elements which specify which other add-ons this particular add-on requires, and which version of those add-ons it requires. These add-ons may be part of Kodi itself, or may be parts of other third-party add-ons.

Kodi will only allow the add-on to be run if suitable versions of the (non-optional) add-ons on which this add-on depends are installed. When a user installs your add-on from an online repository via Kodi's add-on manager, Kodi attempts to resolve these dependencies, and install anything that your add-on relies on first. The dependency must be provided with the minimum version number your script/skin requires.

=== Examples ===

Here is a sample <code><requires></code> block that imports two required modules:

<source lang="xml">
<requires>
<import addon="xbmc.python" version="2.14.0"/>
<import addon="script.module.elementtree" version="1.2.7"/>
<import addon="script.module.simplejson" version="2.0.10"/>
</requires>
</source>

Here's another example, which will only install on OpenELEC:

<source lang="xml">
<requires>
<import addon="os.openelec.tv" version="2.0"/>
</requires>
</source>

== <import> ==

Each <code><import></code> element describes one dependency for an add-on, with two required attributes: <code>addon</code> and <code>version</code>. There is also an optional attribute called, fittingly, <code>optional</code>.

If your add-on relies on other third-party add-ons, Kodi will automatically install them as well, provided they are available on an existing add-on repository. If they aren't available on any existing repository, the user must install the other add-ons themselves. Note that you need to include any Python libraries you need directly in your add-on; these can't be loaded with an <code><import></code> element, since Kodi wouldn't know what to do with them.

=== addon attribute ===

The <code>addon</code> attribute specifies the id of the required add-on, e.g. <code>script.module.elementtree</code>.

=== version attribute ===

The <code>version</code> attribute specifies the minimum version of the required add-on to be installed.

==== Dependency versions ====

Each different Kodi version might require you to use a higher version of the <code>xbmc.*</code> add-on dependencies to control on which version of Kodi the add-on can be installed.

Each Kodi version contain a certain backwards compatibility. For example add-ons made for Gotham 13.x can still work ion Jarvis 16.x. Do note that this might change in the future. The '''ABI''' version you see in the table above is the backwards compatibility version for which add-ons are still marked "working".

=== optional attribute ===

The dependency may be made optional by setting the <code>optional</code> attribute to <code>true</code>. This will only install the dependency when the add-on actually needs it. Even if this dependency is missing, the add-on can still be installed.

== <extension> ==

The <code><extension></code> element describes the technical aspects of this add-on. It will have at least a point attribute which will give the part of Kodi that the add-on extends. For instance, the <code>addon.xml</code> file for the Confluence skin extends the <code>xbmc.gui.skin</code> part of xbmc. All available extension points are given below.

Add-ons that don't correspond to a specific add-on category can not be installed by users. These are usually supporting or shared add-ons that are installed automatically by the add-ons that require them.

=== xbmc.python.pluginsource ===
{{See also|Plugin sources}}

The most common extension point that will be used by plugin addon developers is <code>xbmc.python.pluginsource</code>.

==== library attribute ====

The <code><extension point="xbmc.python.pluginsource"></code> element has an extra attribute: <code>library</code>. This is the name of the Python script (startup script) that will be run when the add-on is activated. This file must exist in the root of your add-on directory.

==== <provides> element ====

The extension has an additional child element named <code><provides></code>, which contains a whitespace separated list of <code>image</code>, <code>video</code>, <code>audio</code>, and/or <code>executable</code>. This determines in what area (or context) of the Kodi system your addon will make itself visible in (please note that this applies only to plugin extension points):

{| class="prettytable"
!Provides
!Appears in
|-
|<code>image</code>
|Pictures
|-
|<code>audio</code>
|Music
|-
|<code>video</code>
|Video
|-
|<code>executable</code>
|Programs
|-
|''(blank)''
|Not visible
|}

==== Example ====

<source lang="xml">
<extension point="xbmc.python.pluginsource" library="gpodderxbmc.py">
<provides>audio video</provides>
</extension>
</source>

=== xbmc.addon.metadata ===

This special extension point ''must'' be provided by all add-ons, and is the way that your add-on is described to users of the Kodi add-on manager.

==== Required elements ====

There are several elements that this should contain and all are compulsory (except the broken tag). Each of the elements below must always be present in English as a minimum.

Many of these elements can be translated into multiple languages and should be added once for each supported language. The <code>lang</code> attribute should contain a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locale_(computer_software) locale identifier]. If omitted, it defaults to en_GB. (Note: Kodi v14 and older uses ISO-639 code. See [[List of language codes (ISO-639:1988)]]).

===== <summary> =====

One or more <code><summary></code> elements provide a short summary of what the add-on does. This should be a single sentence. It may be translated into multiple languages.

<source lang="xml">
<summary lang="en_GB">Hello World script provides some basic examples on how to create your first script.</summary>
</source>

===== <description> =====

One or more <code><description></code> elements provide a more detailed summary of what the add-on does. It may be translated into multiple languages.

<source lang="xml">
<description lang="en_GB">Hello World script provides some basic examples on how to create your first script
and hopefully will increase the number of Kodi users to start creating their own addons.</description>
</source>

===== <disclaimer> =====

One or more <code><disclaimer></code> elements that indicate what (if any) things the user should know about the add-on. There is no need to have a disclaimer if you don't want one, though if something requires settings, or only works in a particular country then you may want to state this here. It may be translated into multiple languages.

<source lang="xml">
<disclaimer lang="en_GB">Feel free to use this script. For information visit the wiki.</disclaimer>
</source>

===== <news> =====

{{note|Used in Kodi v17 Krypton and later only. Older versions are forward compatible.}}

The <code><news></code> element should contains a simple description of the major changes made to the add-on (new functionality, big fixes, etc). This is displayed in the Kodi addon installation/update system. (In the author's opinion, too many add-ons skip this piece of information, making it difficult for users to determine whether a particular problem that they may have been having has been fixed or not.)
Please keep it short, you might want to only include the changes for the last version here.

Here is an example:

<source lang="xml">
<news>v0.1.2 (2014-1-15)
- Added notification for Ubuntu users checking through apt command</news>
</source>

===== <platform> =====

The <code><platform></code> tag specifies which platforms (operating systems, hardware) this add-on runs on. Many add-ons will run on all platforms, so <code>all</code> is an option. If the platform tag is missing, we assume the add-on runs on all platforms. A combination of these is also possible. Currently available options are:

* <code>all</code>
* <code>linux</code>
* <code>osx</code>
* <code>osx64</code>
* <code>osx32</code>
* <code>ios</code>
* <code>windx</code>
* <code>android</code>

<source lang="xml">
<platform>all</platform>
</source>

===== <language> =====

The <code><language></code> elements indicate the language(s) of the ''content'' provided by your add-on. It applies to plugins, scripts, scrapers etc. This allows browsing the add-on list by language. When there is no specific language provided in your content, leave it blank.

<source lang="xml">
<language>en de fr</language>
or
<language></language>
</source>

===== <license> =====

The <code><license></code> element indicates what license is used for this add-on.

<source lang="xml">
<license>GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE. Version 2, June 1991</license>
</source>

===== <forum> =====

The <code><forum></code> element provides the forum thread URL for this specific add-on. Leave this blank if there is no forum thread.
<source lang="xml">
<forum>http://www.myaddonwebsite.com/forum.php?thread=12345</forum>
</source>

===== <website> =====

The <code><website></code> element provides the website URL for this specific add-on.

<source lang="xml">
<website>http://www.myaddonwebsite.com/</website>
</source>

===== <nowiki><source></nowiki> =====

The <code><nowiki><source></nowiki></code> element provides the URL for the source code for this specific add-on.
<syntaxhighlight lang="xml" enclose="div">
<source>http://github.com/someone/myaddon</source>
</syntaxhighlight>

===== <email> =====

The <code><email></code> element provides the email address of the author if he wishes to do so for this specific add-on. Here are two examples of how you can make it look (the second one it harder for spambots to use). This can be left blank if you do not want to make your email address public.
<source lang="xml">
<email>foo@bar.com</email>
or
<email>foo at bar dot com</email>
</source>

===== <broken> =====

The <code><broken></code> tag will mark the add-on as broken in the Kodi repo and provide the reason why. It is recommended to also add some more information in the changelog.

<source lang="xml">
<broken>deprecated</broken>
</source>

===== <assets> =====

{{note|Kodi v17 Krypton and later.}}

The <code><assets></code> element is a manifest that describes the various assets the add-on provides and where they are located. Supported sub-elements are:

* <code><icon></code> See [[Add-on_structure#icon.png]]
* <code><fanart></code> See [[Add-on_structure#fanart.jpg]]
* <code><screenshot></code>

If some elements are empty or not specified, it will be treated as non-existing/not provided.

Example:
<source lang="xml">
<assets>
<icon>resources/icon.png</icon>
<fanart>resources/fanart.jpg</fanart>
<screenshot>resources/screenshot-01.jpg</screenshot>
<screenshot>resources/screenshot-02.jpg</screenshot>
<screenshot>resources/screenshot-03.jpg</screenshot>
<screenshot>resources/screenshot-04.jpg</screenshot>
</assets>
</source>

With the above example definition, the files must be placed in the <code>resources</code> folder.

== Skin specific elements ==
=== Overview ===
{| class="prettytable"
| '''effectslowdown'''
| A multiplier that is applied to all <animation> effect lengths in the skin. Useful to slow down all animations globally so that you can better configure timings and see interactions between animating controls.
|-
| '''debugging'''
| When set to true, it'll display onscreen debug information (xml filename, mouse position and focused control type and name) in the skin.
|-
| '''res'''
| Support for arbitrary skin resolutions.
|}

=== How window xml files are found ===

Kodi can run in many differing resolutions, and a skin should try and cater to all these resolutions. The easiest way is to develop for one specific resolution and make sure that all controls contain <width> and <height> tags. That way, Kodi can scale the controls to the new screen resolution.

However, you may choose to develop alternative window xml files for differing resolutions (such as for HDTV resolutions, or for widescreen versus 4x3 resolutions).

The order that Kodi looks for it's skin files are as follows:

# It first looks in the current screenmode folder (one of 1080i, 720p, NTSC16x9, NTSC, PAL16x9 or PAL)
# If the current screenmode is 1080i and there's no 1080i folder, it then looks in the 720p folder.
# Finally, it looks in the '''res''' folder.

This allows you to just put any window files that do not require special treatment for 16x9 resolutions etc. in the <defaultresolution> folder, preventing needless repetition.

Addon.xml

{{mininav|[[Development]]|[[Add-on development]]}}
 

Every skin, script, or plugin in Kodi contains an <code>addon.xml</code> file which describes the add-on, providing credits, version information and dependencies. Below, we will explain how this file is structured and which elements must be used to create an add-on for Kodi. You can also consult the examples at the end to see how this file is laid out depending on if you are developing a skin or script.

Every <code>addon.xml</code> file has the same basic structure, this example is for a video plugin:

<syntaxhighlight lang="xml" enclose="div">
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<addon id="plugin.addon.id" name="Your Add-on" version="1.2.3" provider-name="You">
<requires>
<import addon="xbmc.python" version="2.1.0"/>
</requires>
<extension point="xbmc.python.pluginsource" library="addon.py">
<provides>video</provides>
</extension>
<extension point="xbmc.addon.metadata">
<summary lang="en_GB">Your add-on's summary</summary>
<description lang="en_GB">Your add-on's description</description>
<disclaimer lang="en_GB"></disclaimer>

</addon>
</syntaxhighlight>

There are a few important things to note in the above sample:

* The <code><addon></code> element must be present, and be the root node. It presents data about the add-on package as a whole.
* Inside the <code><addon></code> element is a <code><requires></code> element, listing all the dependencies that this add-on needs in order to function.
* Then there are one or more <code><extension></code> elements, each of which describes a part of Kodi that the add-on extends.
* Finally, there is a specific <code><extension></code> element that extends <code>"xbmc.addon.metadata"</code>. This describes the add-on to the user.
* Banners and clearlogos assets exclusive to Kodi v.18+
= Elements =

== <addon> ==

The <code><addon></code> element has 4 attributes, all required: <code>id</code>, <code>version</code>, <code>name</code>, and <code>provider-name</code>. For example:

<source lang="xml">
<addon id="script.hello.world" name="Hello World" version="0.0.1" provider-name="Dev1, Dev2">
</source>

=== id attribute ===

The id attribute is the unique identifier used for this add-on. It must be unique, and must use only lowercase characters, periods, underscores, dashes and numbers. This identifier is also used as the name of the folder that contains the add-on, so for ease of searching, we suggest you use something like <type>.<uniquename>.

=== version attribute ===

The version attribute is used by Kodi to determine whether updates are available. This should be use a version scheme like <code>x.y.z</code> (major.minor.patch). For example: <code>version="0.0.1"</code>. Generally, you'll start with a version of <code>0.y.z</code> for test releases and once you feel it is ready for a full release, you'd bump the version to <code>1.0.0</code>.

==== How versioning works ====

* <code>2.2.9</code> is newer than <code>2.2.1</code>
* <code>2.2.10</code> is newer than <code>2.2.1</code>
* <code>2.3.0</code> is newer than <code>2.2.9</code>
* <code>2.2.1</code> is newer than <code>2.2.1~alpha</code>
* <code>2.2.1</code> is newer than <code>2.2.1~beta</code>
* <code>2.2.1~beta</code> is newer than <code>2.2.1~alpha</code>
* <code>2.2.1~beta3</code> is newer than <code>2.2.1~beta2</code>
* <code>2.2.1~beta10</code> is newer than <code>2.2.1~beta1</code>

{{tip|Text should only be added for a beta version. In other cases version number should only contain numbers.}}

=== name attribute ===

The name attribute is the name of the add-on as it appears in the UI. This should be in English where it makes sense for it to be so, and is not translatable.

=== provider-name attribute ===

The provider-name attribute is used as the author field. This could be a team of authors or a single author. If the add-on is maintained by multiple people please separate them with a comma (<code>,</code>).

== <requires> ==

The <code><requires></code> element contains one or more <code><import></code> elements which specify which other add-ons this particular add-on requires, and which version of those add-ons it requires. These add-ons may be part of Kodi itself, or may be parts of other third-party add-ons.

Kodi will only allow the add-on to be run if suitable versions of the (non-optional) add-ons on which this add-on depends are installed. When a user installs your add-on from an online repository via Kodi's add-on manager, Kodi attempts to resolve these dependencies, and install anything that your add-on relies on first. The dependency must be provided with the minimum version number your script/skin requires.

=== Examples ===

Here is a sample <code><requires></code> block that imports two required modules:

<source lang="xml">
<requires>
<import addon="xbmc.python" version="2.14.0"/>
<import addon="script.module.elementtree" version="1.2.7"/>
<import addon="script.module.simplejson" version="2.0.10"/>
</requires>
</source>

Here's another example, which will only install on OpenELEC:

<source lang="xml">
<requires>
<import addon="os.openelec.tv" version="2.0"/>
</requires>
</source>

== <import> ==

Each <code><import></code> element describes one dependency for an add-on, with two required attributes: <code>addon</code> and <code>version</code>. There is also an optional attribute called, fittingly, <code>optional</code>.

If your add-on relies on other third-party add-ons, Kodi will automatically install them as well, provided they are available on an existing add-on repository. If they aren't available on any existing repository, the user must install the other add-ons themselves. Note that you need to include any Python libraries you need directly in your add-on; these can't be loaded with an <code><import></code> element, since Kodi wouldn't know what to do with them.

=== addon attribute ===

The <code>addon</code> attribute specifies the id of the required add-on, e.g. <code>script.module.elementtree</code>.

=== version attribute ===

The <code>version</code> attribute specifies the minimum version of the required add-on to be installed.

==== Dependency versions ====

Each different Kodi version might require you to use a higher version of the <code>xbmc.*</code> add-on dependencies to control on which version of Kodi the add-on can be installed.

|}

Each Kodi version contain a certain backwards compatibility. For example add-ons made for Gotham 13.x can still work ion Jarvis 16.x. Do note that this might change in the future. The '''ABI''' version you see in the table above is the backwards compatibility version for which add-ons are still marked "working".

=== optional attribute ===

The dependency may be made optional by setting the <code>optional</code> attribute to <code>true</code>. This will only install the dependency when the add-on actually needs it. Even if this dependency is missing, the add-on can still be installed.

== <extension> ==

The <code><extension></code> element describes the technical aspects of this add-on. It will have at least a point attribute which will give the part of Kodi that the add-on extends. For instance, the <code>addon.xml</code> file for the Confluence skin extends the <code>xbmc.gui.skin</code> part of xbmc. All available extension points are given below.

The various extension points that Kodi provides are given in the list below.

Add-ons that don't correspond to a specific add-on category can not be installed by users. These are usually supporting or shared add-ons that are installed automatically by the add-ons that require them.

=== xbmc.python.pluginsource ===
{{See also|Plugin sources}}

The most common extension point that will be used by plugin addon developers is <code>xbmc.python.pluginsource</code>.

==== library attribute ====

The <code><extension point="xbmc.python.pluginsource"></code> element has an extra attribute: <code>library</code>. This is the name of the Python script (startup script) that will be run when the add-on is activated. This file must exist in the root of your add-on directory.

==== <provides> element ====

The extension has an additional child element named <code><provides></code>, which contains a whitespace separated list of <code>image</code>, <code>video</code>, <code>audio</code>, and/or <code>executable</code>. This determines in what area (or context) of the Kodi system your addon will make itself visible in (please note that this applies only to plugin extension points):

{| class="prettytable"
!Provides
!Appears in
|-
|<code>image</code>
|Pictures
|-
|<code>audio</code>
|Music
|-
|<code>video</code>
|Video
|-
|<code>executable</code>
|Programs
|-
|''(blank)''
|Not visible
|}

==== Example ====

<source lang="xml">
<extension point="xbmc.python.pluginsource" library="gpodderxbmc.py">
<provides>audio video</provides>
</extension>
</source>

=== xbmc.addon.metadata ===

This special extension point ''must'' be provided by all add-ons, and is the way that your add-on is described to users of the Kodi add-on manager.

==== Required elements ====

There are several elements that this should contain and all are compulsory (except the broken tag). Each of the elements below must always be present in English as a minimum.

Many of these elements can be translated into multiple languages and should be added once for each supported language. The <code>lang</code> attribute should contain a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locale_(computer_software) locale identifier]. If omitted, it defaults to en_GB. (Note: Kodi v14 and older uses ISO-639 code. See [[List of language codes (ISO-639:1988)]]).

===== <summary> =====

One or more <code><summary></code> elements provide a short summary of what the add-on does. This should be a single sentence. It may be translated into multiple languages.

<source lang="xml">
<summary lang="en_GB">Hello World script provides some basic examples on how to create your first script.</summary>
</source>

===== <description> =====

One or more <code><description></code> elements provide a more detailed summary of what the add-on does. It may be translated into multiple languages.

<source lang="xml">
<description lang="en_GB">Hello World script provides some basic examples on how to create your first script
and hopefully will increase the number of Kodi users to start creating their own addons.</description>

===== <disclaimer> =====

One or more <code><disclaimer></code> elements that indicate what (if any) things the user should know about the add-on. There is no need to have a disclaimer if you don't want one, though if something requires settings, or only works in a particular country then you may want to state this here. It may be translated into multiple languages.

<source lang="xml">
<disclaimer lang="en_GB">Feel free to use this script. For information visit the wiki.</disclaimer>
</source>

===== <news> =====

{{note|Used in Kodi v17 Krypton and later only. Older versions are forward compatible.}}

The <code><news></code> element should contains a simple description of the major changes made to the add-on (new functionality, big fixes, etc). This is displayed in the Kodi addon installation/update system. (In the author's opinion, too many add-ons skip this piece of information, making it difficult for users to determine whether a particular problem that they may have been having has been fixed or not.)
Please keep it short, you might want to only include the changes for the last version here.

Here is an example:

<source lang="xml">
<news>v0.1.2 (2014-1-15)
- Added notification for Ubuntu users checking through apt command</news>
</source>

===== <platform> =====

The <code><platform></code> tag specifies which platforms (operating systems, hardware) this add-on runs on. Many add-ons will run on all platforms, so <code>all</code> is an option. If the platform tag is missing, we assume the add-on runs on all platforms. A combination of these is also possible. Currently available options are:

* <code>all</code>
* <code>linux</code>
* <code>osx</code>
* <code>osx64</code>
* <code>osx32</code>
* <code>ios</code>
* <code>windx</code>
* <code>android</code>

<source lang="xml">
<platform>all</platform>
</source>

===== <language> =====

The <code><language></code> elements indicate the language(s) of the ''content'' provided by your add-on. It applies to plugins, scripts, scrapers etc. This allows browsing the add-on list by language. When there is no specific language provided in your content, leave it blank.

<source lang="xml">
<language>en de fr</language>
or
<language></language>
</source>

===== <license> =====

The <code><license></code> element indicates what license is used for this add-on.

<source lang="xml">
<license>GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE. Version 2, June 1991</license>
</source>

===== <forum> =====

The <code><forum></code> element provides the forum thread URL for this specific add-on. Leave this blank if there is no forum thread.
<source lang="xml">
<forum>http://www.myaddonwebsite.com/forum.php?thread=12345</forum>
</source>

===== <website> =====

The <code><website></code> element provides the website URL for this specific add-on.

<source lang="xml">
<website>http://www.myaddonwebsite.com/</website>
</source>

===== <nowiki><source></nowiki> =====

The <code><nowiki><source></nowiki></code> element provides the URL for the source code for this specific add-on.
<syntaxhighlight lang="xml" enclose="div">
<source>http://github.com/someone/myaddon</source>
</syntaxhighlight>

===== <email> =====

The <code><email></code> element provides the email address of the author if he wishes to do so for this specific add-on. Here are two examples of how you can make it look (the second one it harder for spambots to use). This can be left blank if you do not want to make your email address public.
<source lang="xml">
<email>foo@bar.com</email>
or
<email>foo at bar dot com</email>
</source>

===== <broken> =====

The <code><broken></code> tag will mark the add-on as broken in the Kodi repo and provide the reason why. It is recommended to also some more information in the changelog.

<source lang="xml">
<broken>deprecated</broken>
</source>

===== <assets> =====

{{note|Kodi v17 Krypton and later.}}

The <code><assets></code> element is a manifest that describes the various assets the add-on provides and where they are located. Supported sub-elements are:

* <code><icon></code> See [[Add-on_structure#icon.png]]
* <code><fanart></code> See [[Add-on_structure#fanart.jpg]]
* <code><screenshot></code>

If some elements are empty or not specified, it will be treated as non-existing/not provided.

Example:
<source lang="xml">
<assets>
<icon>resources/icon.png</icon>
<fanart>resources/fanart.jpg</fanart>
<screenshot>resources/screenshot-01.jpg</screenshot>
<screenshot>resources/screenshot-02.jpg</screenshot>
<screenshot>resources/screenshot-03.jpg</screenshot>
<screenshot>resources/screenshot-04.jpg</screenshot>
</assets>
</source>

With the above example definition, the files must be placed in the <code>resources</code> folder.

== Skin specific elements ==
=== Overview ===
{| class="prettytable"
| '''effectslowdown'''
| A multiplier that is applied to all <animation> effect lengths in the skin. Useful to slow down all animations globally so that you can better configure timings and see interactions between animating controls.
|-
| '''debugging'''
| When set to true, it'll display onscreen debug information (xml filename, mouse position and focused control type and name) in the skin.
|-
| '''res'''
| Support for arbitrary skin resolutions.
|}

=== How window xml files are found ===

Kodi can run in many differing resolutions, and a skin should try and cater to all these resolutions. The easiest way is to develop for one specific resolution and make sure that all controls contain <width> and <height> tags. That way, Kodi can scale the controls to the new screen resolution.

However, you may choose to develop alternative window xml files for differing resolutions (such as for HDTV resolutions, or for widescreen versus 4x3 resolutions).

The order that Kodi looks for it's skin files are as follows:

# It first looks in the current screenmode folder (one of 1080i, 720p, NTSC16x9, NTSC, PAL16x9 or PAL)
# If the current screenmode is 1080i and there's no 1080i folder, it then looks in the 720p folder.
# Finally, it looks in the '''res''' folder.

This allows you to just put any window files that do not require special treatment for 16x9 resolutions etc. in the <defaultresolution> folder, preventing needless repetition.

Unofficial add-on repositories

2016-04-12T19:49:25Z

Basje: Updated retrospect add-on repo

{{mininav|[[Development]]|[[Add-on development]]|[[Add-on repositories]]}}

:''See also: '''[[:Category:Add-ons not in the Kodi.tv repo]]'''''

{{warning|{{big|Only download content/apps/add-ons from sources you trust, and at your own risk. This list is maintained by the community and is not an endorsement of those add-ons.}} {{small|''[[Kodi:General disclaimer|Disclaimer]]''}} }}
Kodi includes an interface to browse remote repositories from where add-ons can be retrieved. The model is similar to the way many Linux distributions work, whereby there is a main repository that is the default, and and additional ones may be added by the user. Kodi has two official repositories that are included by default (kodi.tv Add-ons and kodi.tv PVR Add-ons) and are maintained by the [[Team Kodi]].

== Information for add-on developers ==
# '''Consider applying to have your add-on included in [[Submitting Add-ons|Official add-on repository]]'''
# If it does not meet the required conditions, consider contacting an owner of an existing unofficial repository and ask if they would be happy to let you distribute your add-on from there.
# You can also create your own repository. See [[HOW-TO:Create a repository for add-ons]] or [[Add-on repositories]], and then add it to the table below for it to show up in the Repositories Installer Add-on.

== How to install additional add-on repositories ==
You can install an individual repository using these instructions: '''[[HOW-TO:Install add-ons from zip files]]'''

To access the contents of the newly installed repository browse to System > Add-ons > Install from repository.

== Unofficial repositories ==
{{Note|
* {{big|The '''[[forum rules]]''' on piracy content applies to the wiki as well!}}
* When adding to the table, try to keep the description as ''short'' and ''accurate'' as possible.
* Also please try to keep it ''alphabetically'' organized according to the ''name column''.}}

Unofficial add-on repositories

2015-04-02T20:40:21Z

Basje: updated my repo info

{{mininav|[[Development]]|[[Add-on development]]|[[Add-on repositories]]}}

:''See also: '''[[:Category:Add-ons not in the XBMC.org repo]]'''''

{{warning|{{big|Only download content/apps/add-ons from sources you trust, and at your own risk. This list is maintained by the community and is not an endorsement of those add-ons.}} {{small|''[[XBMC:General disclaimer|Disclaimer]]''}} }}
XBMC includes an interface to browse remote repositories from where add-ons can be retrieved. The model is similar to the way many current [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux Linux] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_distribution distributions] work, whereby there is a main repository that is the default, and and additional ones may be added by the user. XBMC has two official repositories that are included by default (XBMC.org Add-ons and XBMC.org PVR Add-ons) and are maintained by the [[Team XBMC|XBMC team]] (''Team XBMC'').

== Information for add-on developers ==
# '''Consider applying to have your add-on included in [[Submitting Add-ons|Official add-on repository]]'''
# If it does not meet the required conditions, consider contacting an owner of an existing unofficial repository and ask if they would be happy to let you distribute your add-on from there.
# You can also create your own repository. See [[HOW-TO:Create a repository for add-ons]] or [[Add-on repositories]], and then add it to the table below for it to show up in the Repositories Installer Add-on.

== How to install additional add-on repositories ==
You can install an individual repository using these instructions: '''[[HOW-TO:Install_an_Add-on_from_a_zip_file]]'''

To access the contents of the newly installed repository browse to System > Add-ons > Get Add-ons.

== Unofficial repositories ==
{{Note|

Unofficial add-on repositories

2015-01-20T22:07:25Z

Basje:

{{mininav|[[Development]]|[[Add-on development]]|[[Add-on repositories]]}}

:''See also: '''[[:Category:Add-ons not in the XBMC.org repo]]'''''

{{warning|{{big|Only download content/apps/add-ons from sources you trust, and at your own risk. This list is maintained by the community and is not an endorsement of those add-ons.}} {{small|''[[XBMC:General disclaimer|Disclaimer]]''}} }}
XBMC includes an interface to browse remote repositories from where add-ons can be retrieved. The model is similar to the way many current [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux Linux] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_distribution distributions] work, whereby there is a main repository that is the default, and and additional ones may be added by the user. XBMC has two official repositories that are included by default (XBMC.org Add-ons and XBMC.org PVR Add-ons) and are maintained by the [[Team XBMC|XBMC team]] (''Team XBMC'').

== Information for add-on developers ==
# '''Consider applying to have your add-on included in [[Submitting Add-ons|Official add-on repository]]'''
# If it does not meet the required conditions, consider contacting an owner of an existing unofficial repository and ask if they would be happy to let you distribute your add-on from there.
# You can also create your own repository. See [[HOW-TO:Create a repository for add-ons]] or [[Add-on repositories]], and then add it to the table below for it to show up in the Repositories Installer Add-on.

== How to install additional add-on repositories ==
You can install an individual repository using these instructions: '''[[HOW-TO:Install_an_Add-on_from_a_zip_file]]'''

To access the contents of the newly installed repository browse to System > Add-ons > Get Add-ons.

== Unofficial repositories ==
