MetalChris, just wondering if you have been looking at an Internet Archive addon for Kodi 19. I haven't a clue of what would be involved but guess it's something to do with Python 3? Is that a big job? Thanks

To get some things working (ie some IPTV streams) I have to use Kodi 19 but some of my favourite addons have yet to be ported to 19. I can understand the reluctance to change (and have to maintain two sets of addons) until we see a lot more movement to 19. Is updating an addon to Python 3 a big project, I'm curious to know.(2020-09-13, 04:37)barney63 Wrote: MetalChris, just wondering if you have been looking at an Internet Archive addon for Kodi 19.

I'll get to updating my add-ons for Python 3 eventually. I usually lag a couple of versions behind with Kodi anyway, so it's not really close to the top of my to-do list.

Tremendously disappointing because MetalChris has some of my favourite addons (CBC Sports/Internet Archive) and he himself has stated he stays several versions behind and isn't in any hurry to update them.
In my opinion some very good resources for free and legal addons seem to be ignored in favour of the pay addons (Netflix, Disney etc) and the content aggregator services like Pluto and Plex which carry mostly the same channels.
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate all that the developers do but it would be nice as well if some of the older proven successful addons above were updated. Just wish I knew what goes into updating an addon for Python 3 and Matrix.

I've installed Matrix on one of my systems and have begun working on an updated version of the IA Video add-on. As I've stepped away from add-on development for over a year, it took me about 3 hours just to get some basic functionality from the Video version. I need to get further acclimated with Python 3, but hopefully I'll have a beta version for Matrix available in a few days.
Anyone interested in an IA Audio version for Matrix will have to wait until after I get the Video version running to my satisfaction.

Thank you!Would be interested to know what the hiccups were, was it related to skin settings? The code is written for confluence skin, i did not change anything to make it estuary compatible
