Any help would be much appreciated!

Something ugly seems to being on.
Suggest to go to command line on the Vero and try
wget http://download.osmc.tv/kodi/addons/leia/addons.xml.gz
sha256sum addons.xml.gz

If the result is not f83cd7b588057d291d9b129fe78a4c4d04ce7193278bbb11f95bbe09ca36ab5a something is playing with you. Post which mirror the file is downloaded from with wget.

Worked like a charm, thank you very much!

osmc@osmc:~$ sha256sum addons.xml.gz
f83cd7b588057d291d9b129fe78a4c4d04ce7193278bbb11f95bbe09ca36ab5a addons.xml.gz`

That is confusing so is the repository refresh in Kodi also now working or did you extract it manually?

5

after i downloaded addons.xml.gz everything worked as i would expect. I used the GUI to browse addons. All i can see in the logs after the wget command is

NOTICE ADDON: addon_name version installed

I have the same issued after fresh reinstall.

Any thought?

The last post is 6 months old, so I suspect the post is not related to OPs – some full logs and a description of the issue you are experiencing would be better.

The problem seems to be that http://download.osmc.tv/kodi/addons/matrix/addons.xml.gz?sha256 does not return a checksum, but the binary file.

Just full factory re-installed via USB to 18.9 build, also unable to access the official repo

I think it must be the server?

This should now be solved. I was performing some server migrations yesterday and didn’t fully migrate our MirrorBits infrastructure yet so used a fallback URL for downloads. This has now been migrated and should work as expected.

Thanks for the report and apologies for the inconvenience.
