CHRISB1810 SKIN KODI REMOVED FROM TOTALINSTALLER!

CHRISB1810 SKIN KODI REMOVED FROM TOTALINSTALLER!

Well, MR. Chrisb1810 TheBeast who had a couple of great skins under community builds, has been removed by Totalinstaller (www.totalxbmc.tv). From what I have gathered, totalxbmc was using chrisb1810 code without his permission. Totalxbmc.tv does charge for some builds and also control the wizard installer. This can allow them to push updates,spam and other unwanted spyware. It seems that he was banned from the site as he had a facebook page and believed to be receiving contributions from users on the side. Below is are a couple of images posted on his Facebook as to what transpired.


I personally think this is a good outcome as we need a balance between the free and the paid sites. A lot of sites are switching to pay sites. Kodi is a free opensource software and I believe its addons should remain this way. There are other ways to monetize and make money and still deliver a free addon/skin. Just my two cents. 

HOW TO INSTALL SKINS

Here is a how to right from chrisb1810's facebook.

TO INSTALL THE WIZARD

KODI IS READY ON GOOGLE PLAY YET NOT ON AMAZON FIRE TV

KODI IS READY ON GOOGLE PLAY YET NOT ON AMAZON FIRE TV


The version presently on the internet Play is Isengard 15. Beta2. We’ve made a decision to select Isengard since the first release for Google Play, as it is considerably more ready for that group of features that modern Android items like the Nexus Player as well as the NVIDIA Shield Android TV provide, including support for 4K and HEVC, among other activities.

The benefits of establishing google's Play type of Kodi are very simple. You typically take advantage recent stable release without needing to wreak havoc on finding, setting up, and sideloading apks. With nonetheless, we continuously publish apks on the website, if you’d rather sideload, or maybe Android device doesn't have Google Play, we’ve still got the back.

Amazon . com . com Application Store



Around the less positive note, to be certain, we’ve been informed that Kodi remains removed the Amazon . com . com Application Store because, in line with the Amazon . com . com representative, “it might be accustomed to facilitate the piracy or illegal download of content. Any facilitation of piracy or illegal downloads is not allowed inside our program.”

As others have noted therefore we agree, this seems to get an absurd statement, purely because the same might be mentioned about any web browser or media player that could play an internet-based stream, that's roughly these, including one or more that Amazon . com . com plainly shows on its Fire TV packaging material. The type of Kodi published for the Amazon . com . com Application Store is shipped just like a purely vanilla media player, as well as the add-ons provided by within the Kodi repository are entirely piracy free, pointing only to legal streams available to anybody on the internet. Establishing piracy-related add-ons onto Kodi is roughly as difficult as establishing unlicensed apks onto an Amazon . com . com Android device.

Possibly most frustratingly, while Amazon . com . com has removed the Kodi application in the application store, within the physical store it is constantly sell digital tuners that are clearly smashing the Kodi trademark by associating Kodi with unlicensed add-ons together with other material. Meaning, to date as we could tell, one of the finest single organizations pushing using Kodi for piracy is Amazon . com . com itself.

If you'd like for more information round the subject, AFTVnews and TorrentFreak perform an excellent rundown in the situation since it presently stands.
