tjay - try uninstalling kodi and install the arm version of 14.2 with the plugin baked in, from the first post.
hawkv - totally a guess, but I would expect only windows and android versions until they are more stable before other platforms are supported.
ranaguir - I know he has shown interest in supporting paid subscriptions, unsure of any progress in that realm if any has been started yet, It would be safe to assume that it will be looked into as the free server is only going to be free for so long... but at the same time, who knows if the plugin will stop working once it goes paid-only, it may continue to work just fine.
echofan - there is no workaround for the broken channel issue people are currently experiencing, you will have to wait for the next version to see if its resolved
.. I have not had issues hiding channels on the android versions, hidden channels survive reboots fine and even survive new channel updates... I will see if i can replicate your issue with the windows version.
