[RELEASE] 4oD (Video) Addon - UK Channel 4 on demand

Tried it on both windows 7 and atv2 and no luck. Thank you for having a look.

Funnily enough - this now works on ATV2. The only thing I did was install ATV Flash 1.2 and that's it. I didn't install any of the apps through it. The programmes I tried before that bombed out after a minute I have now played in full.

Strange.

If you're stuck - give it a go - don't know why it works now, but it does.

Thanks for all the help.

Works on XBMC Eden Beta 2 Linux (Mint 12)

From a 4OD web page, this is the current version -
var fourodPlayerFile = '4odplayer-11.21.2.swf';

I don't have XBMC, so these instructions may not be accurate, if someone having the problem would like to try this and confirm if this fixes the problem or not. Take a backup copy of the file .XBMC/addons/plugin.video.4od/default.py first, then change the lines in this file from 11.8.5 to the current 11.21.2 version on lines 164, 243, lines 231, 242 don't require changing as comments. If this doesn't work restore the backup copy.

I gave this a try and unfortunately it didn't work on the ATV2 - will post a log when I can.

Thanks for having a look.

I'm getting an error when trying to launch an episode of Misfits.

Log extract:

I suspect the error is a result of the ":" or the "!" in the program name, but I don't know enough regex to attempt modding the code.

Any idea how to fix it?

I can report a bit of new strange activity.

I tried the plugin again today and it was still not working.
I then decided that i would create a log file. So i first went to the 4OD site to check it worked on the PC.

I then enabled debug.

Selected a file that 5 min earlier stopped after a min or so and it now played for over 10 min before i stopped the file.

I tried a few more and they all seem to work now.

I have no idea why its suddenly working. Off the top of my head it was either random chance. Or either visiting the 4od site some how authorised my IP address or debug mode fixed it.

Can some 1 try going to the 4od site from a computer that's behind there router but not there XBMC device and see if that helps.

Dox

tried on pc played all the way thru, back to atv2 and worked . cant explain why failing yesterday.
