Plugin failed to install due to an invalid structure - gkusiak - 30th Aug, 2020 07:09 AM
I'm trying to install Sandmann79's addon to get Amazon Prime's Video on my xbian-kodi and ran into that error.
GitHub - Sandmann79/xbmc
wget the zip from terminal, it shows up in the home folder when I 'install from zip', but install fails with that error message when I choose it.
I'd love your insight into what I've done wrong - my understanding is it has the same prerequisites/dependencies as CastagnaIT's Netflix addon, but I seem to be missing something. anyone? @Nachteule ?

No idea, maybe Kodi's debug log tells you more
Maybe you have chosen wrong Plugin Repository zip file

There are only 2; one for leia, one for matrix.
Xbian reports my install as 18.8 - leia.
I’ll check the debug. And dig deeper into the 30 pages of the addon’s thread on the kodi forum. I was asking here in case an xbian person had a similar experience and could offer their insight into what needed to be done to get it working or why they gave up.

I've installed repository.sandmann79-py3.plugins-1.0.0-matrix.zip on my Matrix installation without any issue
But since I do not have an amazon prime account I do not need to install the Amazon VOD

On what host machine?
Is Matrix stable for Pi4?

I have been using Matrix on all my Raspberry Pi's (1-4) for ages
As long as you don't have any special requirements (4k HEVC isn't currently available as far as I know, and HDR isn't anyway) there shouldn't be any problems

I had tried an earlier Matrix build but was having problems. (CastagnaIT’s Netflix has to work or I’m in the dog house until it does...)
I’ll try again today.
Thank you.

Netflix should work, I've installed it but I'm not using it

No Netflix or Amazon...you must have tvheadend or similar with OTA television. Or a really solid IPTV service.

Yeah, using TVheadend and VDR. IPTV is IMO PITA

No opinion on it required here: in my experience it IS a PITA

No, not necessary. But a snapshot before upgrading would be a good idea
