doublecheck if the folder is actualled called plugin.video.hindiM4U
the two questionmarks before it seems to indicate it's not. i think...

Solution anyone?

not sure what the issue is, but you do know that when you download zip from your github account, it has some gibberish characters in front of zip file.
another issue is, your addon.xml lists few imports with their versions (common is 2.0.1). but this version is not available on kodi repository ( only 2.0.0 is), so you need to change that or user would have to manually find that version and install it before installing your addon. I say fix these small stuff and see where it goes from there on.

okay
i have no clue why these gibberish characters appears
except it, i fixed the rest.
seem like the gibberish is the problem cause i made another zip with different folder and it worked!
thanks a bunch!!
As you are here already, does htmllib5 works faster for you? i see you use it in ditto and i read it pretty slow

no, I don't use html5lib anymore. I did in beginning, but since moved to just using regex and luckily site doesn't change whole lot for regex to break.
