Several people noted complaints with the developer for disabling the add on, but looking at it from a different angle, I wonder since the move to Kodi 19 seems driven by security concerns with Python 2, was this maybe the ethical thing to do rather than leaving the addon sitting around indefinitely and have someone possibly get into security problems down the road? I know the developer was not exactly tactful or nice in their response but were they ultimately being responsible?(2021-03-11, 08:24)mikefreeman Wrote:There's a working version here:- https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid...pid3020873(2021-03-07, 20:18)frodo19 Wrote: "Kodi 18 is dead "
What
Kodi 18 is most certainly NOT dead. To say so is absolute ignorance. As long as OSMC doesn't use Kodi 19, I cannot use Kodi 19. As long as many add-ons don't function under Kodi 19, I cannot use Kodi 19. Kodi 18 will be completely relevant and alive until it is no longer used as the basis for major media center distributions like OSMC. I understand ronie's desire to move on, and appreciate all the work he's put into these addons, but to completely remove it from my machine without my permission while it still worked perfectly fine just plain pisses me off! It was the only weather addon I could get to actually work for my city with any level of accuracy, and now I literally have nothing. Rude and uncalled for. Don't want to keep the Yahoo weather addon going? That's fine. Let people know it's unsupported and move on. But let people keep it installed as it was on their system until it actually stops working at least. I don't see what the problem with that is. This just torques me off.
Make sure you turn Yahoo Weather addon auto update off before you install, or you will be updated to the non-working version again.
