[RELEASE] HowStuffWorks.com - AddonScriptorDE - 2012-08-09
Hi,
this addon is for watching videos from HowStuffWorks.com.
You can install it from the xbmc.org eden repo...

works great - apart from the 'play button' part
RE: [RELEASE] HowStuffWorks.com - ab1x - 2012-08-12
great addon thank you
RE: [RELEASE] HowStuffWorks.com - AddonScriptorDE - 2012-08-16
Update v1.0.1:
- Added autoplay mode (workaround for buffering issue)
RE: [RELEASE] HowStuffWorks.com - AddonScriptorDE - 2013-08-04
They completly changed their site, so i had to rewrite the addon.
There are a lot of nice new shows available on HowStuffWorks!
Update is available via the repo...

This stopped working for me a couple of weeks ago. Is it broken? I run raspbmc.

The plugin can be fixed with a minor correction to the regular expression in the playVideo function
diff --git a/default.py b/default.py
index 0c1cccf..9712eda 100644

At least this works for 14, not sure about Gotham, I wll have to try my other machine.
I saved the commit to my github for safe keeping. I need to figure out how to get it to the author

@JasonPell
Thanks, that worked.

- Fixed video playback
RE: [RELEASE] HowStuffWorks.com - Skurvy_Pirate - 2016-02-01
A while back videos stopped showing up in any category. Does anyone else have this issue? Is this addon still supported?

I haven't seen a post from AddonScriptorDE in almost a year. I think it's safe to say this add-on is no longer supported.
I've created a new add-on for the How Stuff Works website. Download from the link below.
EDIT: Please see post #14 below for the latest version.
If you have any issues with the add-on, please post a log (wiki).

@MetalChris : Thanks for uploading but the add on doesn't work. If I try and install from zip then the installation fails

Error message? What OS are you using? Which version of Kodi? Could you please post a log (wiki).
RE: [RELEASE] HowStuffWorks.com - MetalChris - 2016-05-01
I was not able to reproduce anything resembling the error reported by @Chrisi123, but their post did prompt to look over the add-on, and I did find a bug that caused some issues on my tablet running Isengard on Android Lollipop. So, a new version is now available. Please download from the link below:
How Stuff Works - v 3.0.5
If you have any issues with the add-on, please post a log (wiki).
RE: [RELEASE] HowStuffWorks.com - Chrisi123 - 2016-05-13
Hi MetalChris,
I am new to the world of Kodi and will try to log the error when I get the chance. I am running Kodi Jarvis on Android 4.4 KitKat
Would really like to get this add-on working
Thanks
