Using Kodi version 16.1 on Ubuntu 16.04. Installation of 'Internet Archive" seems to work fine, but when I try to access it, I get an error. Here is the log:

Any ideas??

You're using an old, unsupported version of the Internet Archive add-on. Download the newest version(s) [3.0.6] from this post, or from the link in my signature.

Thanks!!! That worked. Odd that Kodi didn't give me that version when I installed "Internet Archive" just yesterday.

Thanks!!! That worked.

Thanks for the feedback, and glad it's working for you.

I'm not the original author, but the original add-on was broken and apparently abandoned, so I took it upon myself to put together working replacement(s). It was a good learning experience since at that point in time I had never done anything so complex. Even though the add-ons work, they could probably be better. My coding is more 'brute force, smash the square peg into the round hole' style, and still incredibly sloppy, so I've never submitted my add-ons to the official repo. This is why you ended up installing the old, unsupported version. I'm unsure why the old version is still in the official repo though.

If you have any further questions or comments, please post in the Internet Archive - archive.org thread.

Thanks again!! Since you are fresh off that fix, you might want to have a look at Metacafe version 0.0.2. It displays the identical behavior as "Internet Archive" did. I posted a note about that, too, but got no reponse.
