[DONE] Trying to install Kodi 16, but can't add media

urpmi kodi (or xbmc) shows Kodi 14 already installed, ok fine... - so it looks like the repository only has 14.
I'm trying to get KODI 16 installed ................
So I'm trying add media ... (using the path from http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Install_Kodi_for_Linux )
//------------------------------------------------------
urpmi.addmedia --distrib https://launchpad.net/~team-xbmc/+archive/xbmc-nightly

...retrieving failed: curl failed: exited with 22

unable to access the distribution medium (no media.cfg file found)
unable to add medium
//------------------------------------------------------
I know I'm doing something(s) wrong, but "what" is the question, I've tried a couple of variations but...
The urpmi help - really doesn't.
In addition, It seems I can't add the repository to rpmdrake in the gui manually.

Thanks in advance for the remedial help

That wiki pages states nowhere that they offer repos for Mageia, they only offer debian/*buntu repositories/packages.

For newer kodi packages, please check viewtopic.php?f=10&t=10751

I figured I should be able to add media from different repositories. Obviously I was mistaken.
THANKS doktor5000 for the remedial help !!!!!
