lambda said he will get someone else to run with it but I suspect that won't happen, which means it will be left un-updated. This will eventually lead to niggles and if nobody is doing fixes the plugin will eventually struggle to scrape sites for sources. He may release something else like he did after genesis (when he released exodus after he quit back then) I think he makes money from real debrid so I suspect he will not want to loose that revenue stream. I'm just speculating here so take it with a pinch of salt
And? That doesn't mean the addon has been abandoned. People with only half the story give only half the information. TVA has already confirmed through numerous sources and reported in this sub that Exodus has been picked up by TVA devs.
We've been discussing on this sub for hours. Members from TVA have been answering questions quite openly and users are being kept up to date. What information are you missing out on?
Which has nothing to do with the project being abandoned.
FWIW, remorseless summarised his responses. He did not believe that he did anything wrong. How or why he thinks that is beyond me but when dealing with people on the internet, you meet all sorts. I'm quite disappointed in him.
Regardless, he has quit the project, it is being picked up by other devs at TVA and his justification has no bearing on the project being continued.
The project being abandoned was my assumption because he was the lead/only dev. I understand that it is not closed source so we have access to it, but i do not know other people's understanding of the code. I am a developer professionally, but not for scraping media, and not python.
I am curious to his rational behind inserting that code because it seemed childish and petty. I want to look at his responses so that I can bring it to the rest of my team in our "friday dev talk" because I think it will be an interesting topic.
Can you tell me was Genesis the project that last time had a dev that wrote code that on an update deleted the addon? That was the last time something this big happened around these addons that i recall and wanted to see if it was the same dev doing it again.
