It is with a heavy heart that I report that the Kodi (XBMC) plugin to view Crunchyroll has been hit with a DMCA take down.
Over the 4 years of it's existence it was used by (as of 2016) 5000 monthly active PAYING users.
A stress the Paying part because the version that was taken down, mostly unchanged since 2016, required a paid subscription.
The plugin functioned exactly the same as every existing CR app, and did not allow any function that was different.
While I feel the take down was in bad faith, if I was contacted I would have removed the plugin.
I HAVE DELETED THE REPO BEFORE MAKING THIS POST.
P.S. If we have to use the CR app or the VRV app, can you fix it so the login doesn't break once a month?
Thankx Bye
