Hello, I have migrated from CV running on Matrix to Omega. I have everything setup, but for some reason if the Trivia module is active in the sequence, the sequence will not play, and only a black screen is displayed. I checked the KODI log but nothing looks wrong. I am using the trivia files migrated over from CV, so I am assuming those are compatible? thx
Hey everybody,
In June 2020 some suggestions on improvements to our add-on system were suggested by Matt Huisman and some minor changes were implemented. Who knew at the time but this turned into much more work both cleaning up the current add-on system and adding numerous new features. The main goal of this became to improve the add-on user experience and add security features in order to prevent add-ons and repositories from being misused by bad actors.
The main problems were founded in the initial design of the add-on system, which doesn't distinguish between official and third-party repositories. This allows a mixup of installing and updating add-ons based only on their version information, regardless of their origin.
In order to tackle these issues and make the add-on system more robust as a whole, the following cornerstone changes were implemented to the add-on subsystem:
The subsystem work allowed the following GUI changes to be implemented:
Lastly there were many, so many long time bugs and inconsistencies that came to the surface while doing this work, and all these that we know about so far have been fixed. In the end, the user experience of the add-on system shouldn't change too much, but should be a more enjoyable overall.
Here are some of the things we would like to tackle in V20:
Cheers,
phunkyfish & frank (howie)
