Radio.de add is not working anymore

[georgkrause]

Add-on details:

• Add-on name: Radio
• Add-on ID: plugin.audio.radio_de
• Version number: 3.0.9+matrix.1
• Kodi/repository version: 21/3.4.0

Ownership

• I am the owner of this add-on

Broken because:

Whatever action I want to take in the addon, there is a network error. I think the radio.de API changes and the changes are not yet reflected in the repository.

I am not aware if thats the right ways to report such issue. In the addon-repository the malfunction is already reported, see XBMC-Addons/plugin.audio.radio_de#61 or XBMC-Addons/plugin.audio.radio_de#59 . However, no action is taken. I'd suggest to remove the addon from the official repository until its fixed.

If you are aware of any maintainer of the addon, I might be interested in helping getting the plugin running again. Let me know if there is a way to get involved.

The right place to report this, is at the source repository of the add-on. Not here.

@basrieter I report it here because as I mentioned, its already reported in the source repository. But this belongs to the same org as the index, however, nobody replies there. As I already wrote in the issue, I am asking you to remove a non-functional addon from the repository to avoid people getting annoyed by installing a broken plugin.

@basrieter I am especially wondering why there is a category to report broken addons if you don't want those issues to be opened. Am I missing something?

[basrieter]

The original add-on author needs to create e PR to mark an add-on as broken, if and only if he/she does not intent to fix it. A broken add-on will be removed on all Kodi installs.

Only of the owner is unknown or not active we could do this. So let's just wait for now and I will reach out to the devs in the meantime.

@basrieter Thank you for the info! I filed a PR to mark the addon as broken, before I've read your comment. Sorry if this is useless now, but I think its fair to mark the addon as broken for now.

Just so you are aware: I am planning into fixing the issue, but it might take a while.

[basrieter]

No worries, I will tag the original devs for an OK.
