Success! I got a full video saved from nat geo with a test script. So I know we can keep the streams going.
Now it is just a matter of finding a way to extract the needed information from the file that XBMC plays. I am thinking a local python server or proxy which will send the needed commands to the server.
There are several Discovery channels that use this too. I hope it opens up several new stations.

Hi BlueCop, Can you add http://ownca.oprah.com in Free cable plugin, my wife love to see those. Thanks

THIS PLUGIN IS GREAT!!!!!!!!!
One suggestion, maybe a mix between the shows that stations have available to stream and stations that stream live (like the livestreams plugin). Bloomberg and Democracy Now are two I can think of off the top of my head that stream live 24/7. It would be cool to have those stations listed and be able to join a live stream in progress.
Thanks for all of you work

ykhehra1: it should be possible. That seems to be the Canadian site. I will probably do the US one.
Beachfront: Democracy now is great. I love Amy Goodman. I have left live content to other people and focused on anything that serves full episodes. Most of these station sites don't have live streams available on them.
I actually have a fairly advanced C-SPAN plugin with many cool options that I haven't published. I was debating making it a station in free cable. I was thinking of journalism/news type content doesn't fit well. I just go to Free Cable to be entertained and not be informed really. I was thinking of something separate for that. I wanted a rather sarcastic title for a news plugin like "ill-informed" or "ignorant wretch".

Disinformation?

Thanks for considering these live streams BlueCop! "Democracy Now" would be a great addition

For anyone interested, I patched the XBMC.MyLibrary tool last night to filter on runtime. I was able to pull down an organized and well named folder structure of all full episodes only from the entire history channel lineup with a single filter. This fed into channels on PseudoTV nicely.

there are a lot of biographies on http://www.biography.com/videos/full-bios that do not show up anywhere in the add-on that i can find. im not sure if you were unable to add these or if its an unknown error, it would be cool if you added them. thanks for such an awesome add-on though.

Hello all, noob here and I did a lot of reading on this issue. I was able to get the repo added and the add-on installed. I am able to get to everything easily, the problem is when I select a show to watch it says working at the bottom right corner for like 5-10 seconds then it goes away and the show never starts.
Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to do any addition steps to make this work?
A little about my set up
ATV2 latest firmware
XBMC Eden latest version
FreeCable latest version installed from BlueCop's repo.
other add-ons (sports devil, icefilms, ustvnow) working good except for the occasional icefilms script errors
Thanks in advance!

Most important part is what are you trying to watch and can you see it on their site? For instance some of Teen Mom is down right now, but it is down on MTVs site which Bluecop can do nothing about.
