Is there a way to get videos to play in 720p? All the videos play in the lower 360 resolution.

[Skipmode A1]

Not that i know off.

Ok cool. Thanks. The main site doesn't seem to play in HD, must have been one of the changes.

Video works but no audio. It looks like CNET audio is in AAC. Other video addons with AAC audio work (such as Twit).
OS: OSX Mavericks 10.9.2
Audio Out: SPDIF Coax through USB (connects to Onkyo AVR)
CNET works fine with HDMI video and audio.
XBMC ver: 10.3b4

Also tried with audio passthrough and no passthrough. Same outcome- No audio

Thx for the update but have also sound problems here.

[Skipmode A1]

Not much i can do about that, the addon plays the video with the xmbc player.

The sound works for me with 12.x and even the 13.betax xbmc versions. You might try those...

[Trickname]

Sound is working but it's really poor quality

It, then, looks like a CNET streaming issue as all other add-ons using AAC audio codec have no issue with audio playback over USB to SP/DIF.

BTW, thanks for the effort.

All the sound and low video quality issues appear to stem from a change of platforms by engineers at CNET, according to tweets from senior editor Brian Tong...

Thanks for the update. Now it makes sense.

I checked the Videos out today and they look great in high definition, finally the quality is better

I, now, confirm that audio of CNET video addon works fine under above-mentioned Mac mini setup.

Thanks CNET people!

I'm seeing issues on the apple tv 2 on certain podcasts. Cnet Update seems to catch up and play perfectly, however the Apple Byte never catches up and the video lags further and further behind the audio. I'm on Gotham with plugin 1.1.1 and IOS version 5.3 untethered

Anything I can try to get all podcasts working again?

Works fine here with windows and xbmc 13.1 :/.
