- Build OpenElec from source per these instructions on the wiki.
- Referencing these other instructions for building an Addon, also from the wiki.
- Clone this repo into the
OpenELEC.tv
directory you just built in. This will put the addon code intopackages/addons/
, which is where it needs to be to be found in the next step. - Still inside the
OpenELEC.tv
directory, run the following, with your appropriatePROJECT
andARCH
:
PROJECT=Generic ARCH=i386 ./scripts/create_addon automatic
- This will produce a new addon zip under
OpenELEC.tv/target
, depending on yourPROJECT
andARCH
. - Now you can install the addon by expanding the zip into
/storage/.xbmc/addons
on your OpenELEC box, but perhaps there's a better way to do this. - Finally, you can configure Automatic by editing the conf file inside the addon directory. You can test your configuration by running the .start and .stop scripts manually until your configuration works.
