The API and instantAvailability feature are set for deactivation too, while content from “notorious” pirate sites will be blocked.

    …well shit. What now?

    Edit - I just saw some kodi devs suggesting torbox. Looks like accounts can be shared and the top offering has Usenet built in. No add-ons support yet… But eventually it looks like umbrella will support it.

      I still have 2 months left on my account. I’ll wait and see what happens in the next few weeks.

          Indeed. It already disappeared. Oh, well, subbed AD for a month, now. Let’s see how long it lasts.

        Yeah I’m curious if cocoscrapers with the torrent search enabled will make this a non issue… But the website scraper was kinda great to have. I’m a bit shocked but honestly am surprised we haven’t heard more scrutiny on them …

        Edit - or is it time to start paying for orionoid

            So i find it a great search engine and supplement, but the free version was always sufficient. This might change things… might… it’s hard to know what’s going to happen… but the API thing is huge.

      After seeing this post, I tried streaming the newest episode of Silo and found it wasn’t working in my addon (which uses a4kscrapers).

      My mother tried streaming Slow Horses (using same addon) after I told her and she said it worked fine. I guess it had already been cached and was therefore unaffected since the file I streamed was only released today.

      Anyway I luckily only had 8 days left of RD, so I subscribed to Premiumize and it only took a minute to reconfigure the addon to use that instead.
