I have no problem with that. Is bromix still around because i know his repo is gone. I'll bring up the ideas to the forum and see what they think? I understand what you mean, but by you speaking with me, this opens a dialog to get this guy back in the game for being official again.

@Everyone on the Forum who has participated.

I'd like to set up a master repo for official submission to the official repo. At first i wouldn't be able to participate more than what i have been doing which is supporting and asking questions and also popping an idea. Eventually when my python skills become good enough i'd like to even offer to maintain the code as well, but for now i would rely on you guys for your support.

@Kolifanes would you be ok with me taking over the repo or would you prefer to run the repo on your own. I think in order for us to get this back into the kodi repo it needs to be a permanent place.

@misty01, @Uukru, and any of the other guys who have helped with getting the plugin back to a good running, would you be willing to let me manage the repo but still require your help on getting some technical help with python. I can do my best to get around till i feel comfortable, but i would rely on you guys to help me with the python stuff.

@bromix, if you're still around i would love to get your blessing.

What do you guys think? I want to do whats best for the plugin.

Thanks
Jeff

It's open source software - anyone is perfectly able and welcome to fork add-ons and make their own versions which they can upkeep as they wish, including submission to the official repo.

To save confusion though and multiple parallel versions, it would make most sense for interested people to talk amongst themselves and form a team or at least come to an agreement to save later problems and need for renaming etc of branches and such. That's probably fairly important in this case as many other add-ons rely on this one, and so the internal naming is important for that continuing to work.

I'd suggest you speak to Kolifanes (and maybe even Bromix just out of courtesy) and then take it from there. And if anyone else wants to join the team or have an input, then they can contact you as well.

I'll ask some of the team members to comment if they would see any issues with such a proposal, from my side I'm just trying to guide things to a solution that everyone's happy with and that we can all benefit from via an updated and fully working add-on being available in the official repo for everyone (to be clear, I don't have any say on what may or may not be accepted into the official repo, as my own coding skills aren't good enough to review code etc with any reliability either).
