Most links to this addon are via the "Fusion" repo, so any support is not offered, as this is a banned Kodi repository.
Hamid was the only developer and he quit. Its not in the Fusion repo or anywhere else. Here is the last working version.
Services which have been accused of copyright infringement are not supported. I think some non-infringing addons were banned in the process, but the rules must be obeyed. This policy is aggressively enforced. (Maybe new users should get a message about it when the forum account is created.)
Kodi maintain a list of known/banned add-ons and repos that we reference in our forum rules and users have to acknowledge our forum rules when creating an account.
As I understand it, most banned addons are banned because they infringe copyright.
Most banned repos are banned because they contain banned addons.
Installing a 'legit' (non-infringing) addon that's found in a banned repo should be fine, as long as you don't install the repo.
At least that's how it used to work on the kodi forum.
@troggy correct, and there are a small number of legitimate add-ons that are only available that way (e.g. the iTV addon for UK). Some of the older 'bad' repo's have public mirrors which makes checking and downloading the add-on zip's without needing the repo a little easier.
Just one last quick question...is accuradio a banned/bad one?

Kodi has been getting a lot of heat in the last year with the brunt of it from the canadian and american providers so theres probably a few things the kodi group bans more on just protecting themselves to be safe
one thing for sure is anything from fusion or any of adam's other ventures is definitely on the hit list which is why here in Canada he's been tied up in litigation for well over a year and most of his known domains seized. its best to stick to Kodi's approved list if you really want to be safe. A good rule of thumb is if theres something you can openly stream from a providers own web site using something like a computer or laptop and if you can find a Kodi plugin for that stream it shouldn't be a problem because the providers already publicly exposing that stream that would be within the legal rights of the current laws at least here in Canada. when in doubt its best to go with Kodi's published list and don't ever ask on Kodi's forums as someone will probably kick ya.
