Title: OpenElec Repo not working
Post by: ctrlz on December 05, 2015, 08:16:57 PM

Hi

I'm trying to set up my new Venz V3 and the last step is installing the MediaPortal PVR addon for Kodi.  I believe this is in the OpenElec repository.

Unfortunately when I try and access the repo to install the addon, nothing happens when I select it.  In the logs I see "Error getting addons://repository.openelec.tv".  So it doesn't seem to be installed correctly.

Any idea how I can get this working?  Without the addon I won't be able to watch live TV on the box which is basically a deal-breaker.

I am being told this may be because the build of OpenElec on the box is not an official one.  Comments?

It's not an 'official' build of OpenELEC. Officially OpenELEC only support one Android brand, Wetek, from which they profit financially.

In most cases this won't be a problem though, you can still access Kodi repo and other repos.

The problem here appears to be that MediaPortal is only available in OpenELEC repo. I have reported this to Venz and am waiting for a reply from them. Alternatively, I am looking for a way to install mediaportal outside of openelec repo.

I've replied to your email. If you want to return then no problem.
