While trying to debug my sister's system, I found it had some pirated content and plugins. I tried to clean out as much as I could to get her system clean again, but it's not intuitively obvious as to what plugins are considered verbotten and what are considered clean. Even just by looking at the list, it's not easy.
I'd love to see a "KODI Certification" for plugins, or add-ons. This would allow us to stay away from add-ons that should not be installed, and steer us to the ones the Kodi developers encourage. I'd like to see the Add-ons lists updated to allow easy identification of these plugins via a stamp/icon, check-mark or whatever. It would help those that want to dump the bad eggs, but leave their good plugins intact.
I know that there is a whole slew of add-ons on the Add-on page, but with "certification" and the ability to easily identify these in the actual program, it would make life MUCH easier for all I think.
Rather than try to maintain a list of "bad" plugins, which come and go all the time, it would seem to be easier to maintain a list of "approved" plugins. Anything not on the approved, aka certified list, is considered bad.
I have no idea how a plugin would receive certification, or de-certification or keep the list updated, but I'd like to start the discussion.
Thoughts?
