CrossWatch for Kodi v1.0.0

The first stable release: everyone in the household keeps their own watch history, through your own CrossWatch.

Requirements

  • Kodi 21 (Omega) or newer; tested on Kodi 21.3 and the Kodi 22 (Piers) release candidate.
  • CrossWatch v0.13.3 or later; rating needs v0.13.4 and picking viewers from CrossWatch's user profiles needs v0.13.5.

Installing

  • Rouzax Repository (recommended, updates itself): install repository.rouzax, then Add-ons > Install from repository > Rouzax Repository > Services > CrossWatch for Kodi.
  • Official Kodi repository: submitted; it appears there once Kodi's review is done.
  • Zip: the zip below installs through "Install from zip file" ("Unknown sources" on), but does not update itself.

Coming from a beta: install from the Rouzax Repository over it. Viewers, remembered answers and the pairing are kept.

What's new since beta3

  • New name: the add-on is called "CrossWatch for Kodi" in Kodi, so it is not mistaken for CrossWatch itself.
  • Quieter log: routine lines go to Kodi's log only with Kodi's debug logging on; warnings and errors always show, including a rating a service refused.
  • Fanart for the add-on browser and skins, and a description that explains what CrossWatch is.

Known issue

  • If Kodi updates or stops the add-on while a "Who watched it?" or rating question is on screen, the add-on stops reporting until Kodi is restarted, and a Kodi shutdown at that moment can hang. This comes from how Kodi stops add-ons; see #60.

Internal

  • Licence file names and paths follow the official repository's rules; pytest 9.1.1 and ruff 0.17.0.
