1. Module in the Kodi repository was not being maintained/updated.
2. Less than a handful of Kodi repository plugins are using it.
3. The only active "development" is purely for banned plugins; and not part of official repository.
Basically, due to foolish abuse a once useful module is now solely a piracy tool.
If you want to resolve youtube links, the Youtube plugin supports it.
Kind of ridiculous reasons, wouldn't you think?
1. Maybe not maintained, but is still working, should this even be a factor in 'banning' an addon? Do you guys actively purge other addons in the same nature? What if I sent in an update?
2. Less than a handful, at first it was at least one addon needed to use it.. now it needs more than a handful? Come on.. if this one doesn't take the cake..
3. Debatable.. also has been forked to another name which is now used by majority of banned addons
We also right in this thread have a dev wishing to use it for non-piracy related addon
Come on Kodi guys, this is really getting comical now.. if it wasn't already, only 1 reason on that list has a fraction of validity, yet should be squashed easily by even just one legal use which you have within your own repo
So what happens to those addons that are in your repo that have a dependency to it? Screw em.. there's only a hanful of ya's!?
My example for youtube was obviously just for purposes of making an example
