Mahinepua 13 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Does anyone have a workaround for Embuary incompatibility with the new skin requirements of Omega? Foolishly installed the latest nightly here and time to roll back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5049 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 (edited) Yes, all you need to do is edit the addons.xml file a bit in the Embuary skin folder. Toward the top change 5.15 to 5.17 to look like the line below. <import addon="xbmc.gui" version="5.17.0"/> This will fool Kodi into thinking the skin was compiled for the new gui version. Do this before upgrading to a nightly. Otherwise, the upgrade will automatically remove the skin as being incompatible. Or, update the zip file before installing the skin if still on the nightly.

djon 15 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Where can I get the skin zip file? I'm already on Omega RC1 as a fresh install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djon 15 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 I can't find it under the repo / skins within Kodi. Is it because it's not supported in Omega/Kodi 21? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahinepua 13 Posted March 16 Author Share Posted March 16 It is there and supported. It works OK but doesn’t come close to the Theater app and not all my Emby libraries were available. Unless you have specific Kodi apps you want to run I’d stick to Theater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djon 15 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 There's no skins folder under the repo in Omega RC1. Probably because of the addons.xml. Can't I download the skin zip file directly somewhere so I can edit the addons.xml file myself and install the skin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahinepua 13 Posted March 17 Author Share Posted March 17 Have you tried downloading from the repo and editing the XML file? https://github.com/sualfred/my-kodi-repo/tree/master/repositories/repository.fredsrepo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was browsing the repo link the user @Mahinepua provided earlier, but I haven't been able to get just the zip of the skin in order to edit the xml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
