* Very commonly the Safari web browser is being used to download these add-ons, and by default will unzip the files leaving you with a folder that won't work with the "Install from zip" option. You can turn this feature off by going into Safari's preferences, under "General" and unchecking "Open 'safe' files after downloading". If you wish to keep this feature on, you should be able to find the original zip file in the Trash can. Just drag the file out and use it instead of the folder for "Install from zip". | * Very commonly the Safari web browser is being used to download these add-ons, and by default will unzip the files leaving you with a folder that won't work with the "Install from zip" option.

=== Some screensavers are missing === | |||
: Due to a lack of manpower for OS X devs, "rsxs" screensavers were dropped from Kodi for Mac OS X. "rsxs" screensavers are still supported on other platforms. See '''[http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=262990 here]''' for more info. | |||
