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

Hey Jeff,

If you're willing to be the maintainer, then great. I can try to help with some dev stuff, but to be honest I have not looked too deeply at Bromix's code, only enough to patch a thing or two. I also have zero knowledge of Google's YouTube V3 API except for what has been recently discussed in this thread.

When Bromix was the 'keeper of the flame', he had a huge advantage in that he created the add-on from the ground up, so he had / has a very deep understanding of his code, Kodi API and Google YouTube API. He also reviewed any pull request submitted and determined if it was good or would cause something to break.

I guess you can clone / fork Kolifane's repo, then anybody that wants to help in maintaining the code can fork off your repo and submit pull requests for fixes or new features. Someone with a very good understanding of the add-on code would be needed to review and approve code changes. It would be extremely bad to blindly accept pull requests and unexpectedly break things.

Hope that helps.
