FYI: Indigo Add-on Removes Other TVA Tools, Installs Itself

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 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.

At Kodi.Guide we always want to make users aware of what is out there in the Kodi world and let you, the readers, decide what is right, wrong, good, and bad.

Let us know if we can help you out.
