Is Play to Kodi safe?

Medium risk

Play to Kodi sends Kodi JSON-RPC credentials to the configured media server over HTTP.

When you use Play to Kodi controls, the extension posts JSON-RPC commands to the Kodi host and port saved in its settings. If a username is configured, it adds HTTP Basic authentication using the saved username and password, while the connection URL is built with plain HTTP.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.

Shared hosts - 1 hostname

Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.
