      Looking for a way to block these Kodi addons. Is it possible with the snort rules? Maybe emerging-p2p.rules?

        I don't know the answer definitively, but you can install it and try it out.  I would set it up in IDS (non-blocking) mode first and let it run a week or two in order to get a feel for the kinds of alerts generated.  Expect to see quite a bit of alerting related to the HTTP_INSPECT preprocessor.  You can search the IDS/IPS sub-forum here in Packages to find threads about configuring Snort.
