Get ready to to see some great video from Japan's NHK World lineup. I've tested this plugin on Mac, Windows, Linux boxes as well as Android tablet and Pivos Xios DS. I haven't seen any major flaws, although on Android XBMC it's a bit slower.
Please enjoy using this addon to preview NHK daily program scheduling, for viewing the NHK World live stream, NHK On Demand, NHK News and for listening to pre-recorded daily news broadcasts in 17 languages.
Features:
NHK World live stream schedule - For correct program listing in your part of the world, please be sure to set your timezone in the addon settings.
NHK World live stream SD with schedule listing preview
NHK World On Demand (View recent shows on-demand, like Dining with the Chef, Trails to Oishii Tokyo, Journeys in Japan, Science View, Japanology Plus)
JIBTV On Demand (NHK and JIBTV associated videos on demand)
NHK World News (Newsline, Newsroom Tokyo)
NHK pre-recorded daily radio news broadcast in 17 languages.
NHK Videos on Youtube
EDIT: July 3, 2022 - Latest Best of NHK fixes.
I haven't logged into github in a while and now I'm locked out because github is sending an authentication code to a defunct email address. The only solution I have right now is to post download links.
EDIT: July 4, 2022 - Created new github repositories. I would recommend to uninstall my old repo from Kodi first, then install the new repo. In my testing, I tried to install the new repo over the old one, but Kodi would never update the Best of NHK add-on version to the latest release. Only after I uninstalled the old repo first and then installed the new repo did the Best of NHK version update to the latest version. I also noticed afterwards that the add-on would not auto-update, I had to use install from repo method. Maybe that is because the github username for my new repo is different(?). I'm not a github repository expert, so don't fully understand the github workings why the add-on didn't auto-update. I'm pretty certain that any future updates will auto-update after this first manual install from the new repo.
For Kodi 17 and 18:
Attention: Support for this old version is STOPPED!!
After 3 iterations of Kodi that uses python 3 (Kodi 19, 20, 21), it's finally time to stop supporting this older version of the add-on.
Kodi 17 & 18 Repository zip file.

Clarification: There is another member using "misty" as their user name. I am not them and vice versa. I just want to be sure there is no confusion.
Enjoy!!
