Adding addons

Great work!

One question: how can I add additional addons to KODI? I see the add-on menu-item, but it doesn't allow much interaction.
I've managed to get one or 2 added by git clone, but things get a bit complex when dealing with dependencies that need to be resolved.

Adding addons is tricky. Currently easiest is install them on another instance eg. On windows. Then copy over the folder.

Ideally I could add a cmdline tool for adding addons that uses the Kodi API. However, pretty sure they show a yes / no dialog so I'd need to patch Kodi to always be yes

Thanks for the prompt reply!
Well, it would be great if you could add such a cmdline tool; if time permits.
For now,I’ll continue the way of copying them.

my new Nexus images will contain this new patch:
https://github.com/matthuisman/docker-kodi-headless/blob/Nexus/patches/install_addons.patch

It removes the yes / no when installing an add-on via Python or api etc and just installs them in the background (like how update addons would)

Thanks! Will try today or tomorrow and report back!
