If running Eden, should I leave this update alone until there is a version for Eden? Tempted to install it to see how it does, but thought twice. Thank you for your contributions!

Based on the other plug in is just a minor change in the addon.xml file, which I have done, but I do not have eden to test so ....

Ok let me start out with a big thank you.... i was about to go buy a roku on black Friday so that my father could watch gbtv on his tv. I really didn't want to have to teach him to use a new device.

just to help out a little... I am a newbee to XBMC but not new to programming. I plan on adding python to my knowledge base at some point so I can help out developing plugins. Why am i telling you this you ask? I have an ATV2 and i got the Dharma version to work on my atv. I didn't , and really still don't know the difference between Dharma/Eden and maybe the Eden version is the one I should have installed. Anyways, I tried to drop the quality of the free content and the plugin errored.

just wanted to pass on the info

Thanks again

I had the same problem on the low low setting, Right now I am running the following settings,
Video Qaulity: FLASH_600K_400X224
Live Playback: FLASH_500K_400x222
Episode Playback: FLASH_500K_400X222

Works ok on my crappy dsl (looks like crap but .....) I will probably try and see if there is a fix for the lowest setting if not just remove it...

Download the 0.0.3eden file Eden Download Link

Eden version works great!

Ok made some more changes. Probably the last for awhile unless there are bugs reported

The Main reason for the release is I noticed that I accidentally removed the Live Shows Dir.. opps... so I had to add that back in like it was, also made a few other minor adjustments...

I also created some new images for use in the addon, and moved the images to be hosted on my BitBucket Account instead of distributed with the addon. If you do not see the new images right away you may have to wait 24 - 48 hrs to get the cache to refresh.

I have tested this on both current nightly eden and dharma, works fine on both

mptechgroup: The links seem to be broken? Also, if I use git clone to clone the repository, how to I get the gbtv addon to install and update?

On second thought, not the place to get political. I am still horrified that this plugin even exists.

Sorry, I fixed the links on the page and updated the links in the post (if you would please edit your post to remove the bad link so no one else clicks them)

as to install from Git. If on your XBMC box just clone from within the gbtv addon directory(userdata/addons/plugin.video.gbtv) , if you want to download the Git repo then transfer it locally later, just move all of the file in the above dir to your local install

I am a paying subscriber to GBTV, and am very thankful for the effort to bring this to XBMC. You guys rock!
