Addons tab missing from settings menu

Post by cam80 »

Hi guys.
I have just softmodd my xbox and install xbmc3.2.1 and all went well, but I can't find the Addons tab in settings. I would like to install a new skin.
Am I doing something wrong or missing something.
I have been able to install ice films, 1cha nel etc from programs and the repo.

Thx. really appreciate all the work that has been done for xbmc. :-)

I think you're getting xbmc4xbox mixed up with mainbranch xbmc. Although they do look similar these days xbmc4xbox still uses plugins and scripts rather than the newer addon structure. Use the A4X Installer for all your plugins and scripts, I think XAI should still allow you download skins - the skins were held on a different repository so although you shouldn't be using XAI to install addons you should certainly be able to install skins from it.

You might want to try out byrons Rapier mod which you can download from this forum, very nice skin optimised for xbox.

Thx for you reply.
Your right I am probably getting that mixed up.
Thx for the heads up with rapiers skin. Looks good.
One of the reasons is when I install the Addons catchupTV au plugin it installs fine but it doesn't show up anywhere. Since installing rapiers skin is can now see it for some reason but I can't get it to install the different channels.
Thx again. It's been a fast learning curve.

I could be totally wrong but I don't think that one is compatible with xbox. It's been a long time since I tested all the mainbranch addons but I'm fairly certain that was one of the ones which wouldn't work on xbox, you'll find a LOT of mainbranch addons are incompatible. Use the xbox repository first and if what you want isn't in there try out one of the other repo's but the chances are it won't work properly.

Thx whufclee.
Did a bit of googling and it looks like catuptv au does work on the Xbox but the current version isn't. So I might try running an older version.
Big fan of rapiers skin. Looks amazing and it fixed a few things that weren't working.
I've been enjoying you videos as well. :)
