Beautiful Soup Dependency is used by many Addons to help simplify the coding required.
Sometimes for whatever reason the dependency does not install and needs to be installed manually.
Since it is used by so many Addons this can be a problem if it fails to install automatically.
Why it fails to install can be any number of reasons from hardware to software versions.
One quick work around is to download and install it manually.
The location the Zip file is stored after downloading will vary depending on the hardware used with it usually in a Download Folder.
Window PC users will need to create a Temp folder on C: and copy it from Downloads since Kodi can not see any Desktop Folders.

How To Install Beautiful Soup Kodi Addon Dependency
1… Download the Beautiful Soup Zip file to your device. Most new installs need Beautiful Soup 4.
Beautiful Soup 3 Link http://kodi-addons.club/addon/script.module.beautifulsoup/3.2.1
Beautiful Soup 4 Link https://mirrors.kodi.tv/addons/krypton/script.module.beautifulsoup4/
2… Open Kodi and from the Main Menu and click Add-ons
3… Click the Package Installer Icon from the top left
4… Click Install from zip file
5… Direct it to the downloaded BeautifulSoup Zip file location, and click on it for it to Install.
For PC users create a TEMP folder on C: since Kodi can not see any Desktop folders and copy the Beautiful Soup Zip file to it.
Click on C: and then the Temp folder the file was copied to.
I managed to reinstall from (failed to install beautifulsoup icon). hope this helps, saved me some Dicking around anyway.
hey All, followed all the instructions, the file in on my SDcard, its loaded from ZIP
went to the repositories to download the MAgicDragon or Exodus and it still says BeautifulSoup4 failed
the zip (beautiful soup) load hasn’t done anything? still have the issue even after downloading, uploading and installing the BSzip?
just don’t get it
Same issue, I think this is to install beautiful soup version 3, and for exodus we need version 4.
Anyone know where we can find version 4?
Yes, I do.
First, you’re going to want to download the ‘Downloader’ app from the Fire TV store if you haven’t already.
Then open the app and type in the following into the bar that appears in the middle of the screen: “https://mirrors.kodi.tv/addons/krypton/script.module.beautifulsoup4/”
And then click the link that says ‘script.module.beautifulsoup4-4.5.3.zip’
After it says it downloaded successfully, press ‘Done’ and go to Kodi, click Add-Ons, go to the little package box icon at the top left corner, and click ‘Install from zip file’. Go down to ‘Downloader’ and click it, then find ‘script.module.beautifulsoup4-4.5.3.zip’. Click it.
After that, it should download and you should be all set 🙂
