Saying that @MrMC "stole" anything is just pure BS, so let's just stop it here.
Regarding the app itself and its non-addon approach, it would help if everybody would get a straight answer to this simple question:
Was MrMC:
1) created and ripped of addon first, on a "philosophical" base, and getting in the Apple and Amazon stores was an afterthought;
2) created with the specific intent of getting in those stores, which implied ripping the addon part.
If it's 1), @MrMC has all rights to defend his position and to try to bring users on his "safer" side, imo
If it's 2), then doing addon bashing around here is a bit edgy, indeed.

Ok, fair question. Let's look at the commit history for MrMC fork.
There are three places, my repo (davilla), the mrmc repo and and untouched branch of the initial MrMC public.
https://github.com/davilla/mrmc
https://github.com/MrMC/mrmc
https://github.com/MrMC/mrmc/tree/20151129-master
The reason for three is MrMC started in mine under a different name, changed to MrMC and later got github to transfer master to MrMC repo, then back synced mine to it. The branch is an archive of original public commits because we had a sync snafu between it and our private repo and had to force push to clear it. Before anyone starts bitching about a private repo, VLC does the exact same thing for it's iOS and tvOS development.

MrMC fork started here, soon after I left Pivos. Amet and I decided to fork and go off in a different direction.

1st move to actually support ATV4 is here
https://github.com/MrMC/mrmc/commit/3d5f...3116d2517d
MrMC on ATV4 came alive sometime in November and was into Apple Store in December.
The ATV4 was never the initial target for MrMC fork, we did not even know about the ATV4 until Sept 8th. Even my spies did not know it existed until then.
Then amet and I worked like crazy to add support for it. Python/addons were already long gone.
It's clear to see, MrMC forked, a ton of refactoring work including the removal of python/addons. ATV4 popped out, we jumped on it. Sure it was a very short timeline but just look over the hundred+ commits and make your own judgement.

Let me start by thanking you for digging up this thread!
Now, he didn't! But since you're going for the "I'm dumb" approach, for the record, MrMC, aka davilla gave us (and still does) much more than you think.
Again, let me thank you: Thanks for caring!
