Hi guys!
So I recently tried installing a few addons and they all seemed to fail (blamed it initially on new repository).
However then I tried updating some of my existing addons and nothing seems to work (Update/Installation Failed message).
The theme is Basic Confluence.
Here are the logs:
http://paste.osmc.io/ivicumejof
and an extract of the error message I’m getting in the logs:
08:17:29 219.889771 T:1750168560 ERROR: CAddonInstallJob[metadata.common.imdb.com ]: failed to download special://home/addons/packages/metadata.common.imdb.com-2.8.5.zip
08:27:40 830.624207 T:1635775472 ERROR: CAddonInstallJob[plugin.video.beergeeks]: failed to download special://home/addons/packages/plugin.video.beergeeks-2016.3.14.zip
The Pi is connected to internet so I ruled out connectivity problems. (everything else works no problem)
Any ideas?
Does it work again, if you remove the banned repository?
filthpig:
Nope
Search your logs for
ADDONS: Using repository sup…
Error getting /home/osmc/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.ge…
So with those installed don’t wonder about issues you run into
Hmmm sorry, don’t quite understand your reply
(forgot to mention I’m quite a n00b )
Well @mcobit asked
Which you answered with
filthpig:
Nope
But your log still shows those banned repositories/addons
You’re right! I removed the repo but it shows up on reboot.

Any ideas? Could it be a file permission problem?
Could be. How did you install that stuff?
You might have to remove the folders of those addons with root rights.
Cleanest way would be a reinstall of osmc and stay away from piracy addons and repos.
