Feat Request: Kodi 18 Support #11

Open neo-neo1 opened 2 years ago

Would be great to support Kodi 18. As Kodi 18 ecosystem and usage is still greater than Kodi 19.

It’s not as simple as just upgrading Kodi since there are a large amount of systems where where Kodi 19 is not supported such as Rasp Pi 3 (LibreELEC) and older plus countless other SBCs. Not to mention many people simply can’t upgrade due to addons not yet updated for Kodi 19. Kodi 18 is very active and it would be appreciated to maintain Addons for, thanks.

Under "tags" you can find an archive for Kodi 18. It works fine on my Kodi 18.7 on RetroPie (Pi4) - you just have to change the Invidious server, because the default from the add-on is the old one which is dead. I also had to install "python-requests" and "kodi-inputstream-adaptive".

PRs welcome. Someone previously requested support for Kodi 19 in https://github.com/TheAssassin/kodi-invidious-plugin/pull/6, and I didn't think that anybody really cared about Kodi 18 any more, but I hardly use Kodi at the moment anyway. If reverting that PR doesn't harm using the plugin with Kodi 19, I see no reason not to do so.
