Despite all the legal turmoil surrounding the TVAddons community they are back on the scene and recently launched a plugin that should help a lot of newcomers to the scene install addons…similar to their old Fusion/Indigo addon provided. This solution on the other hand is a means to perhaps bypass any legal ramifications as they no longer host any of the addons themselves.
Instead this will allow any user the ability to install an addon straight from GitHub. If you’re unfamiliar with Git there’s no need to get to concerned. Almost every plugin other author tends to use this for something called version control as well as the ability to fork and share plugin work. This is extremely useful and why you see so many forks of a lot of the popular addons within the community.
Similar to a lot of our older tutorials which relied on the Fusion Installer it’s important to install this for ease of use and quick updates.
Here’s how you do it.
