This is a simple addon which allows the user to access links to CBC Music's online stations.

Description:
An addon to access the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) Music's online radio stations. The links to the stations are stored locally so it does not scrape from their website, but parses a file based on the html downloaded at http://music.cbc.ca/#/streams.aspx. This is because the links are expected to remain constant but perhaps not the markup on the site.

GitHub link:
https://github.com/superphunthyme/xbmc-cbc-plugin

What has been done:
There is some info in the changelog but here is an overview.
- Took HTML from http://music.cbc.ca/#/streams.aspx, and made some slight modifications
- Created parser(CBCParse.py in lib) for modified HTML from CBC site
- Created addon.py, which creates directories and populates links
- Added fanart and icons

What remains to be done for this version:
- Settings are incomplete, I am not sure they will actually be needed, so I may remove them
- While I have done nothing yet for icimusique (CBC Music's french counterpart), French translation will be available for this addon as soon as I look into translation support with Kodi
- Add this to a repository, possibly the official one if requirements are met
- Add appropriate license

Future features:
- Music and video search is available on CBC's site, this could be implemented

Note that this is my first time developing an addon for XBMC/Kodi, and my first time on these forums. As well, I do not have a great deal of experience with python or developing software in general. Please be forgiving for any mistakes, and I will endeavour to take any advice into account.
If you appreciate this addon, suggestions on how to give it greater exposure, perhaps by adding it to a popular repository, would be welcome.
If the streams do not work outside of Canada, please let me know.

Thanks!

Thank-you plays nicely.

I'm really new to Kodi. I've figured out how to add sources and install from .zip files but this one's got me.

I'd like to add CBC radio to Kodi but just not sure how to do this from the link you've provided.

What am I missing here?

Signed,

Confused but appreciative for the help.

Hi Galoozer,

Sorry it took a while to get back to you, haven't checked the forums in a while.
You should be able to download the zipped plugin at https://github.com/superphunthyme/xbmc-cbc-plugin, where it says "Download ZIP" on the right.
Save that, and install it using the addons menu.
I haven't touched it in a while, so let me know if anything needs to be changed.

If there is a problem with the installation, I'll check it out later and get back to you.

I love this addon but havent worked in a long time any possible update.

Fixed the URLs for Radio1/2, so they should work fine. Music is a bit more complicated, so might take a while to get them working again.
