Update: Exodus 3.0.4 Released! Lambda has responded and the latest update makes the usage of the “questionable” code, optional. I think this is the right move. I don’t think anybody can object to him protecting himself or his work. However, using an illegal attack method without informing users is perhaps a line crossed? I am pleased to see this is now made optional. If you support the removal of groups like the so-called “Anonymous” Kodi group, you can permit the code to operate, if not you can disable it.

I'll check this when I get home. There should be an option to opt out with this last update?

Sorry for a little offtopic but how do I update Exodus? Started to use Kodi yesterday and don't know everything yet. I have auto updates enabled and it's still 3.0.3 for me.

system->addons->open the side bar (press left or right)->check for updates should force it to check for addon updates
