Thanks for the video. I'm trying to install repositories on my Apple TV with a mac. I was able to install the Repository Installer program, but when I add a repository and restart XBMC I can't find it in the Add-ons section.

Is this because I'm running 11.0 (Eden)? I just find it odd that the installer loads just fine and prompts a restart when I select a repo to add...but it doesn't appear to actually add it.

@Lowderpoop I made this video quite a while ago and maybe things have changed. I don't have an answer for you. 11.0 Eden was not out at the time of this video being made. I will been checking out the new version soon.

@michaelglover84 Eden is currently in beta so I recommend using 10.1 for now until final release of 11 and then wait until the install repositories program is updated for 11.0 (Eden) as well.

how come when ever i restart xbmc it takes a while or nothing happens, am using linux mint, by the way thank you, very nice tutorial, helped me a lot.

[michaelglover84]

@dhante0334 your best asking the question on xbmc forums or mint's own forums. without more information it could be linux related or xbmc. I won't be able to help you i'm afraid.

this doesn't work for Mac but it worked on my Dell

My problem is when I go to settings and click on the zip file, the okay icon is ghosted so I cannot load the plug in. Why.

[Lowderpoop]

@michaelglover84 Thanks. I'll look around and see how I can downgrade XBMC or maybe just uninstall eden and load 10.1.
