Yeah Kodi is pretty useless if you can't install or use addons.

I got video acceleration working for Leia on the Steam Link, but there's a performance regression and both SD and HD video are unplayable. Until video playback works there's not much point in installing or using add-ons.

I have the same issue like ToasterDEV mentioned. Not able to install from .zip or update any plugins. Any idea why?

should I just use 17.6?

[stavroscha]

I tried and installed the specific version on steam link and tried to install some addons from various repositories but i always receive error message. I have also tried the previous version of this software but still not working. To be fair it seems that this topic is dead since the previous comments are quite old.....hopefully i am wrong!

That's what I did. Addons seem to work fine after fixing system date issue (#28 (comment))
Only issue left is that we can't play HD videos :(
