[SOLVED] Global Search dependency fails - WelshPaul - 2016-12-26
Unfortunately v17 of Kodi proved unusable on our Fire TV (failing to prevent FTV going to standby and lots of videos playing with black screen). So, to prevent complete family Christmas melt-down I had to revert to v16. To do this I had to completely uninstall Kodi then re-install v 16. Everything added back fine except for the Transparency! skin. Firstly, installation of the skin failed with a 'dependency not met' message. When I checked the log it stated:
Quote:CAddonInstallJob[skin.transparency]: failed to install dependency script.globalsearch
I then tried to install Global Search independently as a program addon to get around the problem, and this threw up the error:
Quote:CAddonInstallJob[script.globalsearch]: could not read addon description of special://home/addons/script.globalsearch
I'm wondering if it's trying to install the v17 code, but I don't know how to access the Jarvis Repository if it isn't automatically finding the correct version.
Is there anything I can do, as we'd very much like to return to the world as it was pre-Krypton, though ideally without Trump or Brexit.

if you download the globalsearch .zip from our repo here:
http://mirrors.xbmc.org/addons/jarvis/script.globalsearch/script.globalsearch-6.0.6.zip
you should be able to install it in kodi using the 'install from zip' option.

Thanks Ronie, but unfortunately the same thing happens. It's showing this:

Seems to have been a problem with my Fire TV. I did a factory reset of the FTV and was able to choose Transparency as our skin again. Phew!
