I discovered the problem. And it's a weird one I've never encountered before downloading anything from Github. On both Chrome and Firefox and in both Windows and Linux, if you simply right-click on the zip file and choose Save-as, the browser indicates the file download completed. However, in reality, it's an incomplete d/l. To get an actual download of this file to complete I had to click on it then click on the subsequent RAW link and that finally worked. Posting this in case it helps someone else. BTW: To any Kodi team members... shouldn't Kodi have some basic code that realizes if you're trying to install an addon from an invalid zip and deal with that gracefully (hopefully even providing a helpful message to the user) rather than crashing out of Kodi? Just a thought. Anyway, thanks again for this skin and your previous replies!

On a separate note, I read a post elsewhere on the forum in which it was mentioned that this mod returned the feature (which was removed in a prior Kodi version) to automatically show the on screen display when a video is paused. It was mentioned that if this mod's configuration setting to show the seek bar at the bottom was enabled it would also re-enable the OSD feature. However, when I tried that, it merely moved the seek bar to the bottom... nothing more. Therefore, I'm hoping there is indeed some way, within this current version of the mod, to have the on screen display automatically shown for the duration of the video being paused (screen burn-in is not a concern on my TV for various reasons) and then automatically hidden, based on the number of seconds specified with the configuration, when playback is resumed. If this can be accomplished, please let me know because it would be absolutely ideal.
Thanks again for your wonderful skin mod. It is truly appreciated.

Thanks for the explanation and I understand. If I may take one chance at convincing you, since the OSD behavior did actually exist by default in Kodi in the past, it doesn't seem out of line to offer it as an optional configuration option in the skin for all the people who found it useful. Just a thought. Thanks again!

I sometimes do that as well, for which my tool of choice is Diffmerge for a nice side-by-side diff management.

I made this account to say thank you for making this. It's amazing that this isn't just Estuary (Advanced).
Please offer a zip on your github, so it's available via the downloader app.
