The Canada On Demand plugin brings over 30 Canadian television stations directly to your HTPC.


Latest Version: [Image: pluginver.pl?plugin=plugin.video.canada.on.demand] [Changelog]

Live News!!!!
I have another plugin available in the same repository which features a ton of live news streams including al jazeera, bbc, cnn, cspan, and more. Check out the thread here.

Installation
The plugin is available through its own repository. To install it, download this zip file.

Then, in XBMC, go to System -> Addons -> Install From Zip File, and choose the zip file you just downloaded. A new repository is now listed under 'Get Addons' where you can find 'Canada On Demand' ready to install. Once it's installed the plugin will keep itself up to date, you never have to worry about it again.

Its also available on github: https://github.com/andrepl/plugin.video.....on.demand

Downloading.
Update: Works Great. Tried TSN, HGTV.ca, CTV.
The CBC stuff was empty. Tried around 10 of them.
ASrock Ion 330HT - XBMCFreak 10.1 Lucid LiveCD. Everything works but System sounds over HDMI.

which shows did you try? I just watched dragon's den on CBC all of season 5 is there. we may have an issue where empty shows aren't getting hidden, so it'd help if you could say which ones are empty, I haven't noticed any.

There are sooooo many options in sooo many Menus and Sub Sub Sub menus.
You need an internal favourites so I can find my good stuff easier.

Great work !

Dragon's Den is there for me.

Nothing in CBS Sports > Hockey Night in Canada > Coaches Corner.
Nothing in CBS Sports > Top Stories

That's a great idea. I'm going to look into doing that as well as some options to show/hide channels.

Thanks for the input on the CBC listings too... I think it's just a real jerk to deal with, but I'll keep working at it.

Good idea. I was going to suggest having a "TV Shows" menu that has all the best shows from all the different channels, but having "Favorites" would work great.

In TOU.TV plugin they also have a "Newest" category, so you can just see what new shows have been added in the last 7 days (since most shows are weekly, this makes sense)

Had some problems with CTV's Mad Men, that directory would not load.

Thanks for this great plugin - just wondering if there is a way to play the entire episode of a show instead of clip by clip. Thanks
