Jen

• Slide over your icon, fanart, strings.po, settings.xml and addon.xml to the new version
• Copy over the configuration variables in your default.py
• Up your addon.xml version number (if required)
• Zip up the new folder and add the correct version number to the end eg. plugin.video.jen-1.1.zip
• Push out new version

• You can find all formats in xml/other/jenformats.xml

• Add these to your main.xml in order to add these icons to your startup screen.
• Just change plugin.video.jen to your addon id

• On your main.xml add the following

<plugin>
<name>Testings</name>
<link>plugin://plugin.video.**youraddonname**/?action=developer</link>
<thumbnail></thumbnail>
</plugin>

• Go to xml/other and copy the testings.xml This is just a sample you can add whatever you want
• Paste it in

kodi/userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.**youraddonname**

• Then in kodi open your addon and you will see a new icon called Testings
• Click it and whatever you have in the testings.xml will show
• To test something new, just change the testings.xml and save
• Then go back one screen in kodi and back in and you will see the changes

• Go to xml/other and grab the direct.addonname.dab.metalliq.json file
• Use this link to watch the full video on how to make.

• go to resources/lib/plugins and delete rainbow.py

• Only works if you have actual movie and tv xmls made
• Make sure you have Python 3 installed and pip install requests
• Open the jensearchdb.py
• Change line 269 to the url for your main.xml
• Change line 271 'jen' to whatever name you want the search.xml to be called. In this case it will be jen.xml
• Change line 272 to the url for your section.xml. This is handy if you don't want to compile your entire url. You can use subsections. (If however you want the entire folder added to search type in the main.xml url here again)
• Change line 273 'Jen' to whatever you want it to output for name in the search on your addon. (If for example you choose The Avengers(provided you have that movie) the search will display: Jen - The Avengers)
• Change line 277 to be folder where you want the xml and db file to output to
• Change line 278 to be folder where you want the xml and db file to output to
• Change line 290 to be folder where you want the xml and db file to output to but only up to the output
• Save the file.
• Next make a folder and save this py file. Add a folder called "output" (without the "")
• Open a text editor and make an empty file called search.db and slide it in the output folder.
• Open the jensearch.py in idle or another program that runs py files. Run it.
• The results are then sent to the output folder you made that you directed the py to.
• Slide the db file onto your server.
• Open the default.py for your addon and add the search.db url to

"__builtin__.search_db_location"

• You can change a list colour for trakt and tmdb lists by opening the py files and changing the <title> colour.
• Only the title above the meta tag needs changing. See below. Change blue to whatever colour you want.
