Kodi Add Ons?

[ragedogg69]

Also, I think Kodi is going to be coming to a crossroads pretty soon here. There are a lot of developers of add ons that are throwing up their hands and saying "**** it." While these android boxes are great. They flooded ebay with the cheap Chinese boxes that came with Kodi and genesis that advertised free tv and movies. When the links broke, all these entitled people came flooding in to harass the developers.

Also, from what I have heard, there is definitely politics going on with the Kodi team themselves. It sounds like the Android team is routinely ****ed over on enhancements on each release, so they have to release mods that should be standard features.

I have my own media library, so I will be okay if using Kodi if these add ons die. Hell, the lead for the youtube add on quit it. I am now just using a chromecast for that. I expect more stuff like that to happen.

I doubt it. There's been talk of XBMC/KODI being on the brink of death for as long as it's been in existence. Back in the day, Megaupload was the sole hoster for over 99% of all available media. When they got shutdown, everyone said it was dead and there was no way other hosters could pick up the slack. When Icefilms changed their API, and then their domain, everyone said it was all dead. When 1Channel got shut down, everyone said it was dead. But we remain. We have adapted and overcome each and every time. And we will continue to do so, because we are passionate, smart, and we are legion. Life goes on..

none of those issues were with kodi itself. these are internal problems coming to the surface.
