    Default The new Indigo Kodi add-on appears to delete add-ons



    The new Indigo Kodi add-on appears to delete add-ons from your Kodi setup and installs itself in its place. Read on for more info.


    Some news we want to share: The new Indigo Kodi add-on appears to delete add-ons from your Kodi setup and installs itself in its place. Read on for more info.

    UPDATE: The Indigo add-on has been updated with a warning message about what it deletes.
    NOTE: We are staying impartial on the debate over whether an add-on has the right to uninstall or install anything without user’s permission but we believe it is the right of everyone to know that Indigo deletes add-ons on your Kodi box and installs itself without your permission.
    The new Indigo Kodi add-on from TVADDONs replaces some of the other add-ons released from that group including their wizard, maintenance tool, log uploader, notifications tool. However, it appears that the new Indigo add-on goes a step further than just replace those add-ons.
    Users have noticed that Indigo deletes add-on and automatically installs itself if you have any of the individual add-ons that make up Indigo. If you previously had any of the following add-ons installed, you will notice they’ve been deleted and replaced with Indigo.

    • Addon Installer
    • Hub Wizard
    • XBMC Notifications
    • Fresh Start
    • XBMC Hub Maintenance
    • Hub Maintenance (Disabled only – Installed in the XunityTalk repo)

    Most concerning might be that the add-on deletes add-ons from a “blocked” list which includes Hub Maintenance from XunityTalk, a fork add-on of a similar one by TVA.
    The timing of this is peculiar, after lambda recently retired after putting code into Exodus that used users to attack another Kodi repo and add-on without their permission.

    How do you feel about the TVADDONS Indigo add-on deleting add-ons add-ons in order to install their own without your permission? While not malicious at face value, this does raise a concern about how easy it is for a Kodi developer to install or alter your Kodi box without your permission.
