v18 sftp add-on not working
#1
Kodi just upgraded on my Android device to v18, breaking my sftp sources. I get the error "couldn't connect to network share."  After installing the SFTP add-on gives the same result.  Here's the debug log after the add-on has been enabled:

Why won't any of the 'Team Kodi' clique respond to these complaints from users?  We've lost a key item of functionality for esoteric reasons, we're told to use a plug-in THAT DOES NOT WORK! 
Please provide a solution or FIX Kodi and put back the functionality 'Team Kodi' decided to BREAK!

Staying on Kodi 17 is not a fix.

You really think that derogatory and inflamatory tone is the best way to encourage our very limited Android dev resources to work on this?

Fix seems simple enough: Add TARGET_ANDROID there https://github.com/xbmc/vfs.sftp/blob/ma...n.cpp#L367
Not sure where .ssh goes on droid without it... @spiff ?

Has the ssh host key changed?
The .ssh folder is located in the same directory as the .kodi folder (on my phone /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.ssh). Delete the known_hosts file in that directory and try again.

Kudos for this tip.
I was doubtful about making kodi work again through ssh/sftp, but just by simply deleting the known_host file it worked as a charm.
Thanks!
