Is this plugin still being maintained?
I have a few errors when trying to add some channels as TV Shows (VICE for example).
If its is still being maintained I can provide logs.
Thanks
This addon has taken a lot of my time and the community driven aspect has fallen out lower then i have hoped.
Then Life got me down with some personal stuff which got me depressed . So I needed to put all my time in maintaining my company and really had no energy left to spend on my open-source projects like this. Luckily i'm finding myself in a better place in life now, so I have been thinking about picking this project back up.
I'm considering dropping this addon all together and build something new in the place of it. I still believe in the power of the concept of this addon, but this was my first python script & kodi addon, and it was entirely build upon Kodi. I'm thinking of building a webapplication based on this concept, which will work in your browser without Kodi. And writing a complimentary Kodi addon for the webapp, so you can scrape your youtube playlists to your Kodi Library just like you do now. The biggest difference would be that you would setup the playlists on the website and not in the addon like you do now.
It will also provide some other benefits:
- Since users fill their setups in on the website, i can automatically build a community list of predefined content.
- Since users need to setup an account on the website, I will have better view on my active user statistics.
- I can start to build a community
- The predefined content would be community curated
- I can build UI-friendly more easily.
- Entry level to use is lower
- Bigger possible target audiance
So people, let me know if you think this would be a good idea.
To get back at your question dan_jericho, if you post me the log (dont put the entire log in your message, post a hyperlink here) i can take a look if its easily fixed. But i'm not planning atm to do major overhauls to the addon.
