Kodi Video Plugin

Hi Everyone,
I've been using the zoneminder video plugin for Kodi, it's now stopped working. I've got it install on the OSMC distribution of Kodi, so it could be a change there that's caused the issue.
When I click on the plugin not a lot happens and then I get the message 'No Cameras Found'. There is nothing in the kodi.log to offer any points hence this post. Can anyone assist by pointing me in the right direction?
Thanks
Garry

Try the Kodi forum.

Not sure how trying the Kodi forum is going help. But clearly the plugin is no longer supported and therefore I'll just have to ditch it, which is a pity as it's been very useful until it stopped working.

Free software often depends on a maintainer alone. When he stops for a reason X or Y, the project is abandoned until someone rolls up their sleeves and resumes the project.You can try to restart the plugin project

If enough people are motivated, you can try the crowfunding

Yes I think that's the version I have. I'm no coder by any means, I can just about get away with creating simple Bash scripts. So for me to pick this up and move it forward wouldn't work. In all honesty I'd love to be in a position to do that as this is a great plugin and very useful for those of us running both Kodi and Zoneminder.
