I updated to Kodi 19.1 and I am trying to get some new working add-ons,
I got Oath fine with no trouble, but on The Crew, Numbers and Marauder
I can download and unzip the files but I can't get the repository to work
or open I get failed to install message. Is it me or are there problems
with the add-ons?????

Repo and some of it's addons are not kodi v.19 compatible.
*(kodi 19 and up requires addons written to Python3 format specs)

Here is addon info for thecrew video addon (from thecrew repo)
Code:
<addon id="[B]plugin.video.thecrew[/B]" version="1.1.4" name="[COLOR orchid]THE CREW[/COLOR]" provider-name="The Crew">[B]    <requires>[/B]
[B]        <!--<import addon="xbmc.python" [U]version="2.25.0[/U]" />-->[/B]
        <import addon="script.module.thecrew" />

*addon requires Python 2.25 interpreter (KODI v19 Matrix only supplies Python 3.0)

Here is thecrew Repository access/installing requirements;

<addon id="[B]repository.thecrew[/B]" name="[COLOR orchid]THE CREW REPO[/COLOR]" provider-name="The Crew" version="0.3.4">	<extension point="xbmc.addon.repository" name="The Crew" >

It was a pain in the ass, I deleted 19.1 and went back 18.9.
Thanks
If using an Android platform, you have to turn off "Auto-Updates" in your Google Play settings, otherwise Google will update Kodi, even if you Sideloaded the app from another source.

How to disable auto-update apps in Google Play


1. Open the Google Play Store app and tap on the 3-bar menu icon on the top left. Then scroll down and choose Settings.
2. In the Play Store settings, tap Auto-update apps.
3. You'll see three options (which can be changed at any time): Do not auto-update apps, Auto-update apps over any network (using your data) and Auto-update apps over Wi-Fi only.
4. Choose Don't auto-update apps. / Click Done.


*Note that this means you will always need to manually update all apps in the future.
