How do I transfer just one installed addon from one Kodi to another? - galili - 2018-01-01
Hi!
I have an installed addon on one Kodi that its repository is dead. Is there any way I can transfer only this one installed addon to another Kodi?
Thanks!

Yes there is.
Which addon is it, and which device OS are the source and destination devices running?

On the Mac go to
/Users/<your_user_name>/Library/Application Support/Kodi/addons/packages
(insert your logged-in user name in the bit with the <>'s)
That folder is the cache of all the currently installed add-on zip files. Hopefully you should find the one for your add-on in there. Just copy it to a USB stick and install it on the Pi in the usual way (via install from zip).
If there's no zip file for it there then go up a level (to the addons folder) and you should see a folder for the add-on (it should be called plugin.video.ebs_kan). Copy that to the equivalent folder on the Pi (normally /storage/.kodi/addons - noting the . in front of the kodi folder meaning it's a hidden folder that you may need to activate viewing hidden files/folders to see). If you do it that way though you will need to manually go into the add-on manager within Kodi and enable the new add-on, as it will be disabled by default when installed that way.

Useful answer still after more than 3 years. I just used you method to copy an obsolete but functional addon from one machine to another.
