I just downloaded a new skin for openelec and decompressed it from zip file. Customized it and compressed it into a zip, then when I'm trying to install it in Kodi (openelec on raspberry pi), it shows an error

"addon does not have correct structure"

Please help if anyone has knowledge on this issue.

  • Can you share the structure of your skin. That might not be following the structure defined by Kodi as in this [link](http://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on_structure) – Jaysheel Utekar Dec 20 '16 at 20:10
  • i think there is problem in zipping, because i just download a skin.confluence.zip and install it its work than i just unzip it and zip it again as it is . then i try to add but is gave me error "addon does not have correct structure" – naveen gautam Dec 21 '16 at 15:26

You likely have just the skin folder on the top zip level. Kodi needs the content to be in the top most folder.

Just try zipping the addon from terminal by using and than try installing it.

zip -r skin.myskin.zip skin.myskin/

You might be using Mac OS for development purpose which leave a file called .DS_Store inside the zip creating this problem. In this case you need to pack your addons and skins using the 'zip' comand
