That addon appears to be from a banned add-on (wiki) repo, and if so would not be supported here.

ah ok well i was not aware.. thanks for the information.
know of an alternative addon for documentaries/science?

cheers.

There's a fair amount on YouTube, which can be accessed in Kodi via the add-on on the official repo. Look at the channels from the Royal Institution, NASA, the Smithsonian for examples, depending on your more specific tastes.

Beyond that look and see what is in the official repo and in this section, although some are only available in certain geographical locations. An example there is MetalChris's Discovery Channel add-on.
