Add-on manager

See also: Category:All add-ons

The Add-on manager is a new feature in the XBMC 10.0 "Dharma" release, its purpose is to manage the various add-ons to the XBMC application. The term Add-on encompasses just about anything that is not part of the core XBMC application and includes (not limited to): Media scrapers (Media information metadata collectors) Scripts Plug-ins Skins Visualizations In the future the plan is to break even more of the XBMC core components out to Add-ons, with the current binary add-on effort being a key component. The Add-ons manager can be browsed like any other XBMC section and the various Add-ons installed/uninstalled, enable/disabled etc. The default function is to have the Add-ons manager Auto update all installed Add-ons when new versions are available from a centralized repository. In the official skin Confluence, it is done by executing a "Left" action to bring up a slide in submenu and deselecting "Auto update". There you can also disable to be notified if new versions are available and when they are updated. See also: Add-on Repositories Official Add-on Repository Unofficial Add-on Repositories
