Re: [Xbmc-addons] plugin.video.attactv doesn't appear into Frodo/Gotham/Helix repositories.

Hi Ronie,

Thanks a lot for your help solving the problem so fast! It's a pity that due to this the add-on is no longer available under Frodo repo, but I understand that's the way it works, no problem with that.

By the way, is there any way for the developers/maintainers to be informed whenever some of our add-ons are broken?

I would like to fix any bug popped up in the future as soon as any of the add-ons I maintain suddenly appears as broken, if there is a way to be aware of that.

Usually, the two most common problems with add-on failures, once they became active and running fine for a while are: a website modification from where the add-on gets the info, or a dependency broken (for the same reason).

Running some unit testing from time to time helps to detect the first cause (the problem is to trigger the unit tests on a periodic basis ;-)), but the second one is harder to detect, as the unit tests cannot call the external dependencies in order to try reproduce the media from the popular CDNs to which the add-on dependency is made for.

If there is any  way from time to time to be warned with the broken add-ons (maybe there is something already into the forums or the wiki, that I honestly ignore), it would helps a lot to the maintainers community to keep the add-ons working as much time as possible, with the minimal impact for the add-ons they depends on (and the users that enjoy them :-)).

Of course, all of this is a personal thought as a suggestion to help prevent any add-on from be removed by accident in the future.

Once again, many thanks for all your help and time in fixing this.

Best regards,

    jamontes.

Hi Ronie,

Thanks a lot for the quick prompt. The add-on were marked some time ago as broken, due to a problem with the Vimeo add-on dependency. That was the reason of my last code update over Frodo (I've removed the Vimeo add-on dependency, and made my own scraper to fix the problem).

So the add-on is working without errors since the last update on August. As far as I know, nobody reported any problem into the forum support thread for the add-on, and I've checked the add-ons developer mail list for anyone reporting the add-on as broken without success (i.e. nobody has reported the add-on as broken).

On the other hand, I use (and test) the add-on from time to time just to enjoy it and make it sure everything works OK, including the Kodi (Helix) updated on my Raspbmc system a couple of weeks ago.

So I would say yes, the add-on is working properly fine on Helix, as well as on Frodo and Gotham (I've have the add-on installed and running on the three releases along several systems).

Could you please add the plugin.video.attactv back to the repos if possible?

Many thanks for all your help and best regards,

    jamontes.
 

hi jamontes,


i've re-added attactv to the gotham repo (frodo is no longer supported by us).
our apologies for the inconvenience the previous removal may have caused.

cheers,
ronie
