Maybe you shouldn't start ranting before reading.
Its been explained several times in multiple places and have valid and good reasons

 Perhaps you should try to understand that most of us are just users of a piece of software, that for us has worked without too much of a headache.  We're not in 'Team Kodi' or some other dev clique, we don't spend hours trawling through obscure forums or are familiar with what devs are planning.  I've used Kodi for years and have never been on this site or had a need to, for 99.9% of users this is just software (and we ARE grateful for it) to do a job and when it stops working, we're not going to know those 'good reasons' or that it's been 'explained several times in multiple places'.  What's worse is we're being told to use addons or protocols which are either not working or not working well, for us.
