    Sony understands only one language… MONEY. I stopped buying their products since they installed a root kit decades ago in my computer to prevent it from ripping my legally bought CDs to my computer. I had to reinstall windows to get rid of that virus. Never again! And all my electronics were Sony back then

      They do something similar on their smart TVs - it’s not possible to run Kodi with torrent streaming plugins, they block it on purpose.

        How is it blocked? Could you work around it with a debrid service? i.e no torrent protocol

          I didn’t further investigated it, however I remember that the Kodi remote app port worked, but the torrent streaming port (Elementum specifically) didn’t.

          While on the Xiaomi Mi Box S it worked.
