RE: [RELEASE] Rdio Music Addon - vijayk416 - 2015-08-08
Does anyone have the capacity to do an update to this addon that doesn't require fiddling with files and code following installation? It would be much appreciated by me and I am thinking a number of other users.

I get the same behavior. How did you manage to get around this?
Thanks,

The same problem here. When I reboot the system it seems to be that the rdio-state.json file is changed again and I need to re-enter the cookie code into this file.

Not entirely sure but I think I fixed it with a permissions change command. SSH to the folder containing the rdio-state.json file and type the following:
chmod 755 rdio-state.json
This will change the permissions to prevent the file from being modified by anything but the system owner (I believe).

Whelp, that did't work. It did stay put for a day and lasted past a reboot or two but reverted back today. Trying again with chmod 444, if this doesn't work I will wait until some smart guy/gal can fix this properly.
RE: [RELEASE] Rdio Music Addon - vijayk416 - 2015-10-07
Yeah the file was reverted again. There's a routine that runs that comes up as "refreshing authorizations" that I'm pretty sure is what kills it. Does anyone know if that routine is required to keep this plugin alive? IF not is there a way to turn it off?
RE: [RELEASE] Rdio Music Addon - sjobbels - 2015-10-11
Indeed the file is reverted again. Strange that when you mark the file as read only it still gets edited after a certain time.
Hopefully someone will improve the addon that it's working again.

This addon should be removed from the kodi repo, and this thread should be closed and or hidden/deleted.
"Rdio" was closed back in 2016 when it was bought by another company.
Is there still a way to tag them as broken, from within Kodi 17 ? (a google search doesn't seem to show anything useful)
What is the procedure to log old junk so it could possibly be removed from the official repo ?
RE: [RELEASE] Rdio Music Addon - Karellen - 2017-12-27
Thanks @Spinner65
We will look into it.
---Edit---
Removed from the repository
