scripts/build-addon-zip.sh runs the whole pipeline from a host with ssh lucy: - one-shot messense/rust-musl-cross:aarch64-musl container builds the sidecar static (6.2MB stripped). Doesn't mutate crafting-table. - fetches yt-dlp_linux_aarch64 from the upstream release page so Tier 2 + Tier 3 work on the Pi (LibreELEC ships no Python YouTube tools) - packages everything into plugin.video.torttube.zip with the Kodi install-from-zip layout - drops the zip at /mnt/user/downloads/torttube/ on Lucy SMB Cargo.toml swaps rustypipe to default-features=false + rustls-tls-webpki-roots so the cross-compile is openssl-free. addon.xml drops the unused script.module.requests requirement — main.py only uses Python stdlib + Kodi's own modules. docs/install.md walks the Kodi UI flow + a smoke curl that fires Player.Open via JSON-RPC. Pi-side smoke is pending Cobb's install on 192.168.0.158.

# Installing torttube on the LibreELEC RPi
|
|
|
|
The addon ships as a single `plugin.video.torttube-<version>.zip` that
|
|
contains the Python addon, a static aarch64 sidecar binary, and yt-dlp's
|
|
aarch64 release binary (for Tier 2/3 fallback). Nothing else needs to be
|
|
installed on the Pi.
|
|
|
|
## Build the zip (Sulkta-internal)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
bash scripts/build-addon-zip.sh
|
|
# → /mnt/user/downloads/torttube/plugin.video.torttube-0.0.1.zip on Lucy
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The script cross-compiles the sidecar in a throwaway
|
|
`messense/rust-musl-cross:aarch64-musl` container, fetches yt-dlp's
|
|
official `yt-dlp_linux_aarch64` release binary, packages everything,
|
|
drops the result at `/mnt/user/downloads/torttube/` (Lucy SMB).
|
|
|
|
## Install on the Pi (Kodi UI flow)
|
|
|
|
1. On the Pi: Settings → File manager → Add source → enter
|
|
`smb://lucy/downloads/` → name it `lucy-downloads`.
|
|
2. Settings → Add-ons → Install from zip file → `lucy-downloads` →
|
|
`torttube/plugin.video.torttube-<version>.zip`.
|
|
3. Kodi installs, the addon appears under Video add-ons.
|
|
|
|
Unsigned addons need `Settings → System → Add-ons → Unknown sources` ON.
|
|
|
|
## Verify
|
|
|
|
After install, fire the smoke from any LAN client:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -u ***REMOVED*** -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
|
|
-X POST http://192.168.0.158:8080/jsonrpc -d '{
|
|
"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "Player.Open",
|
|
"params": {"item": {"file":
|
|
"plugin://plugin.video.torttube/?action=play&id=dQw4w9WgXcQ"}}}'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The TV should switch to playback of "Never Gonna Give You Up" within a
|
|
few seconds (rustypipe resolve takes ~1s, then Kodi starts the stream).
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
- **Black screen + "no stream URL"** notification: rustypipe returned
|
|
separate audio + video streams (DASH-style), and we're picking the
|
|
video stream which may be video-only. This is the M3 known gap —
|
|
needs the audio+video merge work in M3+. Workaround: try a video that
|
|
yt-dlp's tier-2 path can resolve to a combined format; the sidecar
|
|
falls back automatically.
|
|
- **Sidecar crashes**: `cat /storage/.kodi/temp/kodi.log | grep torttube`
|
|
on the Pi. Sidecar logs to stderr; Kodi captures those.
|
|
- **yt-dlp permission denied**: addon's bin/ dir needs +x. The zip
|
|
preserves perms but if you copied files manually, `chmod +x bin/*`.
|
|
- **HTTPS errors from sidecar**: it bundles rustls + webpki roots, so
|
|
no system CA store needed. If you see "invalid certificate", your Pi
|
|
clock is wrong (LibreELEC's NTP failed).
|
|
|
|
## Updating
|
|
|
|
Just rebuild + bump the version in `addon/plugin.video.torttube/addon.xml`,
|
|
re-run `build-addon-zip.sh`, install the new zip from the same SMB
|
|
location. Kodi will treat it as an upgrade if the version is higher.
