It does kind of raise an interesting point, are addons sandboxed and if not, should they be?

Sounds like i need to clean up some repos on my install. I wouldnt be so concerned, however, if you search for posts in regards to the ad program being pushed to your xbmc, the author is very matter of fact about it.

When people lose sight that this is a hobby not a job or a get rich quick scheme, everyone loses.

You can easily run a command like rm -rf / from a addon, try it. Wink

Unfortunately your overall intelligence seems to be reflected in your grammar.

Python has a ton of access in XBMC. Scripts/add-ons should be treated just like other executable applications, and only be downloaded from those you can trust.

So are you mad that they used your add on in the video? Or they took it as their own? Or they are making money thru ads with your addon? Can you explain in a clear non block of text way?
