Kodi Build Hub 🚀

Welcome to the central orchestration hub for the RPDevs-Builds Kodi ecosystem. This repository manages the automated compilation and distribution of Kodi Core and its primary binary and python add-ons across a multi-tiered repository fleet.

Build & Distribution Status

Component	Piers (v22) Status	Omega (v21) Status	Build/Release Repository
Kodi Core			xbmc-build
Plugins			repo-plugins-build
Scripts			repo-scripts-build
Scrapers			repo-scrapers-build
FFmpegDirect			inputstream.ffmpegdirect-build
Adaptive			inputstream.adaptive-build

🏗️ Fleet Stability Architecture

This fleet utilizes a custom-built infrastructure designed for high-performance C++ builds.

• Depends-as-a-Service: Weekly pre-compilation of the tools/depends system, delivered via GitHub Releases to all Builder nodes to ensure 100% environment parity and fast start times.
• Verified Runner Pipeline: Local Docker runners use verified images hosted on GHCR, updated automatically upon Dockerfile changes.
• Pre-Flight Validation: Every build job performs a rapid 10-second environment audit before beginning compilation to ensure SDKs and auth are properly configured.
• Automated Housekeeping: Weekly scheduled cleanup of Docker layers and workspace volumes to prevent disk exhaustion on heavy runner nodes.
• Rate-Limit Aware Orchestration: Builders utilize webhook-based "check-ins" to update the Hub aggregator, drastically reducing API polling.

📦 Distribution Model

• Kodi Core: Distributed via platform-specific repositories (Linux, Windows, Android, OSX).
• Binary Addons: Built and hosted directly on their respective Builder repository releases.

🛠️ Infrastructure Management

• Hub (kodi-build): This repository. Orchestrates triggers, manages sources.yaml, and hosts the runner farm configurations.
• Runners: Managed via docker-compose.yml in the runners/ directory.
