How to Install PreShow to Kodi

[ammonrose]

I recently looked into CinemaVision and couldn't get it to work.  I was just about to post about it when I saw that PreShow had become the successor to CinemaVision.  I just created an account.  Downloaded the zip file and uploaded it in Kodi.  I'm using Kodi 20.0.0 and it says "Failed to install add-on from zip file".  I am using an Nvidia Shield TV Pro (2019), does this work with this? Let me know what I can do to get this to work because I truly love this idea, I just haven't had the chance to actually give it a try.

I also have the Nvidia Shield TV Pro (2019) with Kodi Nexus (20.0) and I followed the same steps you did. My installation from the zip file went through fine. Does the zip file open on another computer? Could it have been a corrupted download?

I did download the zip file on my laptop with Kodi freshly installed to see if it would work and it did.  I used the same file that wasn't working on my Nvidia Shield, so I'm willing to bet that it's the Youtube.dl file because that was another error I got.  It couldn't download it for some reason.  I downloaded it separately then ran the zip file again and it installed PreShow perfectly fine.  I'm not sure why that's the case, but that was my experience with it.
