XBMC Online TV – Nightly GIT Repository

In December 2015 the nightly repository was moved from a separate repository into the main Retrospect repository at Bitbucket. 
See here.

Nightly GIT

If you are really into XBMC Online TV and want to keep up with the most recent changes, you can now pull XBMC Online TV from the XBMC Online TV Nightly BitBucket repository. This repository contains the most recent XBMC Online TV changes. There are however some things to consider before using these builds:

1. Nightly XOT version are always one version ahead of the current version. So if the current version is 3.5.2, the nightly version is 3.5.3. Same goes for the corresponding channels: The live versions have 3.5.2.x, whereas the nightly versions have 3.5.3.0. This causes Kodi to think it already has the most recent version installed and it will not install updates. This is exactly what we want, because the nightly builds are not compatible with current builds.
2. You can’t install the Nightly XOT via the official XBMC Online TV Kode repository. Only via the BitBucket GIT repo (See below).
3. The Nightly XOT version will probably contain bugs and might not always work as it should. That is because it is a work-in-progress.

Installation

The installation comes down to putting the folders from the GIT repo in the Kodi add-on folder (see the Troubleshooting page for locations). The result should be that the addons folder now contains at least these folders:

• net.rieter.xot
• net.rieter.xot.channel.be
• net.rieter.xot.channel.mtg
• net.rieter.xot.channel.mtv
• net.rieter.xot.channel.nick
• net.rieter.xot.channel.nos
• net.rieter.xot.channel.regionalnl
• net.rieter.xot.channel.rtlnl
• net.rieter.xot.channel.sbsnl

• net.rieter.xot.channel.streams
• net.rieter.xot.channel.uk
• net.rieter.xot.channel.videos
