Great. I try to offer support. If you don't care about helping yourself by searching and reading then there is nothing to be done. I am not going to hold your hand when the infromation is already available easily.

Just wanted to post a big thanks for building this and maintaining it. I tested out all the plugins and just thought I'd post which ones work from Canada in case any other Canadian's see this.

Currently the following plugins are working from Canada:
CBS (with the proxy setting enabled inside the addon)
Spike TV
The Daily Show
The Colbert Report
MTV Networks
Yahoo Music Videos
VEVO

Thanks again! Great work!

i'd also like to state that, it is indeed possible to have hulu streaming in canada. here's how i did it...

i purchased a 3 month subscription package from strongvpn.com Big Grin

it's absolutely fantastic. it's 30$ for 3 months, they have exceptional customer service, easy setup and the vpn servers offer excellent speed. i can't even notice a speed difference in my connection.

i installed and configured the hulu plugin, connected to the vpn and i can now enjoy hulu in canada. Wink not to mention cbs, abc, nbc, etc... etc...

can't go wrong for 30 bucks. i'd recommend it to anyone

cheers

Dude you sound like a commercial Smile

$10/month is still rather expensive, it's more than what you would pay if you lived in the states and purchased the Hulu +

There are free proxies out there, many in fact, I'm using one for CBS, takes a few seconds to start but once it plays there's no problems

ps. no I won't post the one I use, I googled and found it.. don't want it to get overloaded Smile

i'd rather pay my 10 bucks, sound like a commercial and not worry about an overloaded proxy or search for google for a new one every other day. Nod

2 months on the same one and going strong.. Wink

Not attacking you, just saying I think $10/month for something like a proxy is expensive.. half that price and I might be interested

Do Daily Show and Colbert Report work as they should? I had no updates since Feb 3rd.

vultures: did an update this morning to colbert and daily to fix them.

^ kudos bluecop. i just downloaded it and will play around with it during the weekend and provide some feedback.

does anyone like onion ? i dont know python well but i am pretty good with bash/c so i hacked this little script together in a couple hours:
Code:
xbmc@XBMCLive:~$ cat /etc/rc.local
#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.

echo USB0 | tee /proc/acpi/wakeup &

/home/xbmc/bin/masquerade.ksh &

# /home/xbmc/bin/random-vid.ksh &

[color=red]/home/xbmc/bin/onion.ksh[/color] &

exit 0
xbmc@XBMCLive:~$[color=red] cat /home/xbmc/bin/onion.ksh[/color]
#!/bin/bash

cd /home/xbmc/win/stuff/clips/onion
wget http://www.theonion.com/feeds/onn/

i=1
for mp4 in `grep enclosure index.html | awk -F "http" '{print $3}' | awk -F "mp4" '{print "http" $1 "mp4" }'`
do
last=`basename $mp4`
if [ "`ls *$last`" ]
then
  mv *$last `/home/xbmc/bin/zero-pad-2.x $i`-$last
  else
   wget $mp4
   mv $last `/home/xbmc/bin/zero-pad-2.x $i`-$last
fi
i=`expr $i + 1`
done

rm index.html
so now i can navigate to that folder with my remote and play the recent videos (unless i am missing that there is an already existing onion plug-in).

i am planning on doing something similar for attack of the show (g4) when i figure out how to extract episodes from their website without using firefox.

The fixed addons are in repo already? 'cause I reinstelled them and nothing happened.
