Well - what you say is in fact based on wrong assumptions:
I never changed the author-name of the addon.
It's only @
ronie as clearly can be seen.
"[...] provider-name="ronie">
Why didn't you upload a complete addon-zip where you could have added your name to the "addon.xml" author-tag containing besides @
ronie if that's important to you?
I'd have been more than happy to put both ronie and you in the xml author-tag as authors.
I don't care about being in the author tag for this addon. (...and never have been in it...)
I can only assume that part of your assumptions are based on the fact that i sometimes use "(Kodi 17+18) (axbmcuser)" remarks in the addons title within in the repo to clearly show the repo origin:
Old Kodi 17/18 doesn't show the "repo origin" as that's an Kodi 19+ feature.
Therefore i mark old addons "repo origin" within the title which happens to be the same name as my username. If my repo would have the name "pineapple123vault" the title would have contained (pineapple123vault). ^^
Seems like you just want to assume something bad here.
Final offer before case closed for me:
If you want to give your latest changes to the community and don't want to make you own repo, i'd still be happy to add it to the repo with your name in the author-tag.
(provider-name)
Maybe you could base your latest changes on v5.2.5 and combine the two versions?
