Hi All,
We would like to protect our repo and addons hosted in that repo so that only certain users can download it.
The challenge we are facing is suppose a person finds out about our Repo URL, he can then download the addon zips from our server. Ideally, I would like to prevent this behavior, so that only authorized users can download from that link.
We could use a form a basic HTTP authentication to protect the entire web directory, but then does Kodi support it?
Other ways to do it would be to have a custom addon that manages checking the versions with the server, and download addons as required.
Wondering if there is a simple way of doing this.
Thanks in advance!
