+1 Learningit is the author, he has a test repository here http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=231287 and with close to 50 video add-ons under his belt, you'll have to be patient.

I like to watch Nature (via PBS ThinkTV) episodes most days and I think mine stopped working last week, or over the weekend. Sad

I installed the test repository PatK mentions, however I have no idea what to do with it now. I went to the 1tm Add-on Repository, video add-ons, and see the list, however when I go to PBS ThinkTV, I still can't go into any of the episodes, although it shows there are 30 available. Am I doing something wrong in this "test repository", or is it still the same issue with PBS ThinkTV not working?

On the other hand, if I go to http://www.thinktv.org/, I notice that in order to watch many of the shows, I need to become a "sustainer" and pay them some money each month; the same think with www.pbs.org. Does anybody know if this is new, and that this is perhaps the reason PBS ThinkTV no longer works?

I can't confirm that PBS has gone some sort of "sustainer" or pay. I'm more or less geolocked (here in Canada) but I did take it to the point that it looks like you can still receive video if you have a password. So if it's possible, then the add-on will come around again in a patched form (don't hold your breath). It did work at times for me, so I have my fingers crossed.

The repository for Learningit might give you early release to test add-ons & patches prior to official Kodi release, if there is one.
I linked it so that users could directly interact with the author. As time passes and web videos become more mainstream, we'll see more monetizing of streams and services.

Use that for discussion, total waste of time doing it here.
