Installing Builds

This file is used to supply your wizard with builds to install, as well as being responsible for auto-updating your wizard if there is no repository, and is typically named builds.txt.

The fields in this file are all required, and removing any of them will break your wizard.

Example builds.txt:

id="plugin.program.aftermath"
version="0.5.0"
zip="url.to.wizard"

name="Example Build 1"
version="1.0"
url="url.to.build"
minor="http://"
gui="url.to.guisettings"
kodi="17.6"
theme="url.to.themes"
icon="http://"
fanart="http://"
preview="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djV11Xbc914"
adult="no"
info="url.to.info"
description="A short description of the build."

name="Example Build 2"
version="1.0"
url="url.to.build"
minor="http://"
gui="url.to.guisettings"
kodi="18.0"
theme="url.to.themes"
icon="http://"
fanart="http://"
preview="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_jWHffIx5E"
adult="no"
info="url.to.info"
description="A short description of the build."

If there is no repository, and auto-updating is desired, the beginning of the file must contain the following three fields:

Field Description
id The plugin id for the wizard
version The newest version to update to
zip A url that points to the wizard .zip file

For adding builds, simply add the following section for each build:

Field Description
name The name that will show in the wizard
version The version of the build
url A URL that points to the build .zip
minor A URL that points to a minor update .zip, not requiring a fresh install. This feature is currently disabled in the wizard.
gui A URL that points to a quisettings.xml file for the build
kodi The Kodi version number that the build is compatible with
theme A URL that points to a themes.txt file for this build
icon A URL to an icon to be shown in Kodi. This must be a 512x512 pixel .png file. Use "http://" for the default icon.
fanart A URL to the fanart to be shown in Kodi. This must be a 512x512 pixel .png file. Use "http://" for the default fanart.
preview A URL that points to a YouTube video to use as a build preview
adult Whether this build contains adult content. Must be either "yes" or "no".
info A URL that points to a detailed info text file about the build. This file is generated by the wizard when creating a build. If this tag is left as "http://", the wizard will still be able to show a condensed version of information about the build.
description A short description of the build
