Crunchyroll Plugin For Kodi DMCA Takedown
![]() |
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?

Technical Details for CR Devs:
If you wish to disable ALL plugin users, look for "iPhone/iPod Touch" with the following device ID: FFFFXXXX-KODI-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX Every Kodi plugin reports that style UUID to the site. |

Well this is unfortunate. I literally just installed the plugin the other day for a media pc I just put together and was loving the ease of use your plugin had! Hopefully they will let you put it back up, but if not, I wish you the best!

it's reassuring to see Crunchyroll caring about its paying customers by not fixing their apps in years, and by DMCA'ing an app extension that actually worked.

well, about time i cancel my premium for end of the payment period then.. the kodi addon worked for me better than the official apps/website, especially under linux, and was in fact the very reason i even considered premium.. not much reason to continue with if for me any longer
(also this exclusive show stuff annnoys me... i think its ok-ish during broadcast as the first to offer it, but after that its often annoying since its practically random who offers what and i avoid having redundant stuff...), but that only in passing - i guess i will look out for a provider who is less restrictive.. if it ever comes up... *cough*cross-licensing*/cough*[/size] |

Well that's F*cked up.
It's the main app I used to use my premium subscription and crunchyroll doesn't have an alternative. Guess CR doesn't really give a sh*t about their paying customers.... |

Well I only subscribed to Crunchyroll Premium because of the Kodi addon, guess it's time to cancel my subscription. Way to drive away paying customers!

Just noticed that i still have Version 2.2.2 in my Kodi Addon Cache, and reverting to this Version got it working again - so if you want to keep using this check your Addon Cache ;)
nevertheless i wont revert my descision to cancel premium because i think this was not handled in a good manner by Crunchyroll. i also assume this addon will soon resurface from another Source, possibly with the "improvement" to not require premium, so nothing really gained for CR, quite the opposite... |

I am cancelling premium. I watch crunchyroll on my couch in my raspberry pi connected to my tv. I can't anymore, I will stop paying. Good job, you had someone doing your job for you for free and instead of replacing the plugin with something official you tank it completely. -1 customer here.
