hmm having trouble with eden rc3/win7 and this plugin. I'm in the UK using BE broadband and the stream kept clapping out after a minute or so.

I edited all instanses of 11.8.5 to 11.21.2 but now I try to open a stream I just get 'script failed'

Any ideas? My 2 year old loves the Hoobs.

LOL - just uninstalled and resinstalled and still I get script error. Oh well. Broken for me.

I just tried with get_flash_videos - failed, and then with a browser...

It appears 4od site has changed and now asks for a registration/sign
on for certain downloads - a lot more than just the odd specials before.

This requires an update to the 4od plugin. Will be looking into fixing get_flash_videos later today, 4od plugin changes I shall leave to the author.

I can't get 4od to work at all now.

Seems it is totally broken ....

not working for me as well
was fine yesterday

Broken for me too (win7), anything I try to watch gives a script error. Was fine yesterday.

Script errors for me too. But I've only just installed on ATV2 Eden RC2 and I can't get iplayer working either.

Update - I now have get_flash_videos, working again, this works in a similar way to the plugin. The cause of one of the problem is ais.channel4.com no longer returns the ip address in the xml for the ll CDN, the ak CDN is unchanged, play/downloads that use ak.securestream.channel4.com will still work. When ll.securestream.channel4.com set of servers is picked it will fail to play/download.

Content that is over 30days old that normally can only be accessed by login to the site, can still be played/downloaded. Downloading the Hoobs, worked, using get_flash_videos.

Line 152 in default.py
Code:
auth = "e=%s&ip=%s&h=%s" % (e,ip,decodedToken)

Should become something like this....
Code:
if (ip == ""):
              auth = "e=%s&h=%s" % (e,decodedToken)
           else
              auth = "e=%s&ip=%s&h=%s" % (e,ip,decodedToken)

Retries using the plugin should work in the end, for playing / download, until the plugin is fixed. The script errors your encountering maybe caused by some other problems, pasting a link to a xbmc.log might help to see the extact error.

I'm starting to get confused about the plugin status!

Do we need to edit the py file as indicated above?

A stream played today but took ages to load.

The Search function causes my xbmc to lock up.

Thanks, Worked for me.

Previously, it would play for a few minutes and then would stop and go back to the main menu. Now is working flawlessly.

I SSH'd into the ATV2 and took a copy of the file /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/addons/plugin.video.4od/default.py

Made a copy of this on my pc for a backup, then edited the original file on my pc by opening it in notepad and doing a find replace for 11.8.5 to 11.21.2 then copied it back to the ATV2. Now videos are playing fine!
