Would be nice if you can send me the stats of my add-ons per pm
Thanks in advance...

Agree!

I'm wondering about the simplestats.xml especially because of the fact that it was already working until February 2012 - and then it suddenly stops being updated. Do you need any (Python coding) help to get it working again?

I do not understand this as well. I don't have any information about my published add-ons.
It would make sense to especially support the most popular addons, but how could I know that if I have no infos.
The download statistics are available, but not published anymore! WHY??

If there's no "real" reason for not publishing these statistics, why is "simplestats.xml" not being updated anymore?
The stats could at least be made ​​available for developers, if they shouldn't be published to the mass.

Perhaps a TeamXBMC-Member could give a short statement.

So i got a hold of TheUni, and the stats have been updated(as of 5 minutes ago).

And the cron script should be up and running again. So these stats should be updated from now on.

Very nice Thanks!

Edit: I have one question:
On one of my add-ons I noticed decreasing download numbers between two days.
When there are updates, this makes sense because it needs some time till all xbmcs receive this update...
But how could this happen to non updated addons. Or do you also notice when addons are removed from xbmc systems? Then all this would make sense...

I can confirm that sometimes the download counter goes down, here is an example:

lmao. Maybe some withdraw their downloads

Would help if I could have a look to the stats generating script - maybe this is a bug.

The stats aren't being updated since January 15.

I believe this is a server related issue. Google Analytics stats also aren't updating. If I'm not mistaken, I believe stats were intentionally turned off for a brief period as we're working on server transition. If they stay off through the end of January, post again, and I'll see if I can't kick at somebody to get them rolling again.
