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

Just thought i'd give it one last go and all is working ! Not sure what i did, if anything, but all good...wife will be pleased, more location, location !!

I'm having same probs with the ITV Player, starts to load, then nothing happens. Anyway, onwards and upwards.

4od has changed it's 4odplayer swf from 40dplayer-11.21.2.swf to 4odplayer-11.23.4.swf
not sure if the "--flashVer", '"WIN 11,0,1,152"', entry on line 257 needs to be updated too, haven't looked at tv in a while, not sure what the changes to the site have been

maybe that's the issue - but we need an 'expert' to give us the exact edits or a new default.py !!!

I have no idea what the flashVer entry should be.

neither do I, tried lookig about the web for a hint even, but I'm at a loss. Is there a standard sequence to match the swf version number, or is it a case of capturing and decompiling the swf format.

Have the same problem with get_flash_videos, just updating that as 1st priority, that automatically switched to the newer swf file, but still fails. The returned xml contains a different StreamURL format from before, and least it does for some programmes, it maybe only certain programmes that are being changed or other just haven't been changed yet. This is not going to be such a simple change as just the swf version string. The flashVer in just the flash player version, and pretends to be a Window version.

Faulty line in the 4OD and Demand5 default.py file is

geturllib.SetCacheDir( xbmc.translatePath(os.path.join( "special://profile","cache" )) )

Replace the existing

geturllib.SetCacheDir( xbmc.translatePath(os.path.join( "T:"+os.sep,"addon_data", gPluginName,'cache' )) )

everything then wil work

I used special://masterprofile instead of special://profile so it gets written to the userdata folder instead of XBMCs install folder.

Can this be used for win7 installs?

NO

Hi,

Eden 11.0, ATV2, Installed the script from zip then edited default.py as suggested. Works great, except some programmes don't play?

Currently, for example. 10 o clock live will play, but homeland will not (script error). I thought it might be parental controls, but logging onto the 4od website, both programs have controls. Have cleared cache in

/private/var/mobile/Library/Caches/AppleTV/Video/Other
/private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/addon_data/plugin.video.4od/cache

but no joy - any ideas?

If this is working fine for anyone, could they post their default.py file? I'm still having issues with it stopping after a minute of playtime, and I'm lost as to what now needs to be amended in this file, other than the cache line above.
