Thanks for the heads up - I am on Dharma. Having this switched 'on' in Dharma causes the plugin to not work.
canada on demand>discovery>an idiot abroad - qrlos - 2012-02-25 03:32
none of the shows on discovery channel>an idiot abroad appear to work, and i'm just reading this thread....is this because it is no longer being updated? seeing other people with problems with certain channels.
everything ive tried to play on discovery gets "playback failed, check log"
here is the pastebin site for my debug logs. as you'll see i have a few errors under canada on demand>an idiot abroad.

incase you don't want to go there....i can't read/write python (yet) so I THINK these are the relevant lines...

Did you update with the howlett version of the plugin? Also you need to switch on "my librtmp is awesome" in the settings. I just tired it now with this setting switched off and it failed to play and crashed XBMC.

howlett version? - qrlos - 2012-02-25 05:56
what's the howlett version? is that a version for specifically canada on demand? or is there a howlett version of lots of plug ins? i guess i'll just go google that...lol
- qrlos - 2012-02-25 06:08
i'm confused as to what i'm supposed to do with the howlett version, i installed in var/mobile with other repositories, and not working, still same error?
do i delete the andrepl repository? do i uninstall it? or do i just install the howlett version from zip?
any help=awesome
Howlett addon - vijayk416 - 2012-02-25 06:59
Howlett addon is here:
https://github.com/howlett/plugin.video.canada.on.demand/zipball/master
Original andrepl repository can be ignored.
After installing go into add-on settings and turn on "my librtmp is awesome".
Hope this works for you.

Patch to adopt rtmpdump/librtmp - qrlos - 2012-02-25 07:53
well i did exactly as you said, and still nothing. i have read that i need to do something called Patch to adopt rtmpdump/librtmp
?? found this page http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/8971 but again, not really sure what that is or where to install it into xbmc? i'm starting to gather that maybe, my librtmp is awesome already. but have no idea what that means as of yet. if it is already awesome, and this is still not working...here is my included pastebin:
http://pastebin.com/FZp5AXMj
vijayk416 just want to rule this out...did you try an idiot abroad on discovery, or is just your canada on demand working?
- vijayk416 - 2012-02-25 08:15
I have avoided issues like this by using OpenElec. I want as little hassle as possible with configuring XBMC so I have gone this route. If you are not interested in tweaking your system 24-7, I highly recommend it. Sometimes they are a little behind for some specific system requirements, but I've found since switching to the Eden daily buildsI've been pretty satisfied.

If you don't want to run the Eden betas, there is a stable Dharma version they've set as the main download.

I turned on my librtmp is awesome, and discovery channel (idiot abroad is working)
So is history...
More and more is starting to work, maybe thats all that need to be done was turn it on.
BTW i love this plugin. Although mtv.ca would be really nice.
Isnt openelec just a linux platform, wouldnt using up to date or nightly xbmc builds on windows be quite similar to keep everything updated?
