This is the fix:
in the addon.py file simply change line 27 from:
SHOWS_URL = 'http://pbskids.org/shell/video/data/org.pbskids.shows.json'
to
SHOWS_URL = 'http://pbskids.org/video/data/org.pbskids.shows.json'
simply removing "shell" from the path. Works again for me! Kids are happy again

Thanks for that fix. What a coincidence I'm looking for this app today, and this years old topic is bumped up a few days ago! Thanks again!

This fix has stopped working for me. Is it still working for you? Thanks

Stopped working for me at the beginning of Jan

[melendyk]

Yep, stopped working for me to.
I did find this add-on that does have a lot of content including pbskids. It does take a little drilling to get to it, however, it's updated with the latest pbskids urls and is working.

Just tried it again and it works once again. Not sure if it will last...

You can also try the PBS Kids section in the PBS ThinkTv.org addon. Please see this forum entry: 216810 (thread) for details. PBS Kids has been added in V1.0.13.
