General information

This add-on is only compatible with Kodi <= 18 (Leia) especially because all the libraries were built for python 2.x.
For Kodi 19 (Matrix) a new approach will be tried out ➡️ more information here

Status of the library

Only a few versions of libtorrent existing in this repository were tested recently:

OS libtorrent version Status Comments
MacOS (darwin) 1.1.11 Tested successfully on MacOS 10.11.6 but may not work on more recent versions.
Linux armv7 1.1.11 Tested successfully on OSMC 2020.11-1
Linux armv6 1.1.11 Tested successfully on LibreELEC 9.2.6

If you use this add-on on a system which is not listed in the previous table, please share feedback on whether it is working (for instance by opening an issue).

If the add-on is not working on your system, the best option is to install or to compile the library on your system and then to use the setting Use custom path to library.
If you would like to compile the library please read the dedicated page (from the right-side menu).

How the add-on works

When the add-on is listed as a dependency of another add-on, it will be run before this add-on starts.

The add-on will detect automatically the system you are using (unless you disabled this feature in the add-on's settings).
Then it will download the latest version for this system from the GitHub repository. Finally the library will be extracted in the folder xbmcup/script.module.libtorrent in Kodi's temp folder (special://temp) and imported in Kodi's python.
