Jimmy Navio (ID: 0000005691498e88) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 09/02/2021 Hasn't been updated in 2 years. Most of the features no longer work. Appears the github project is basically dead. Anyone want to fork the project?

Tarmec (ID: 0000007f7488f7f9) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 05/18/2021 This add-on is out dated and no longer functional. Would really enjoy an update that mirrors most features of FFZ or BetterTTV
