[RELEASE] ITV Catchup (Video) Plugin

I take it the reasons nobody has done a plugin for Channel 4's & Five's online service is that they probably use Windows DRM?

Correct?


(Thanks for this plugin btw!)

EDIT:

This doesn't work for me...everytime I try to play something it says:

Quote:Playlist playback failed
Too many consecutive failed items

No - regardless of DRM most service provs can be bypassed in some way.

Don`t want to be sued.

I take it that ITV and BBC don't mind you using their streams then? or that they are DRM free?

If not then how comes ITV and BBC plugins have been done?

The reason I ask is that I am willing to help someone do a channel 4 & five plugin, its just I don't have time to learn python syntax at the moment (i'm a slow learner).

Thanks for your reply btw - Did you see the edit of my previous post?

if you are not based in the uk you will need to run the plugin with a u.k proxy.

Get one and add it to the xbmc settings network proxy.

If you were talking to me....I AM UK based. In London specifically.

I can view the feeds fine on the ITV website and in a plugin for VMC.

@Voinage,

I "sold" the ITV Plugin to my Niece so she can see The X-Factor but it seems it's not downloading the right one.

It's getting 14 Episodes and once going into Episode 14 it finds 5 Parts.

The parts seem to be Episode 1 to 5 then...

Log is here: http://www.pt-1.net/xbox/xbmc_itv_02_11_2008.log

Fixed & added Thumbs.

Now shows list :-

Sanctuary - 4 Episodes Available.


Episodes list:-

Sanctuary - 2/11/2008 etc

Vids:

Parts are fine.

Sorry for being Lazy, it was annoying me as well , but couldn`t be bothered to play with it.

Has anyone successfully installed the ITV Catchup plugin on Apple TV?

thanks for the script, the missus is happily watching poirot as i write!

but is anyone else finding that audio goes out of sync almost straight away when watching programmes with the script? (NB doesn't happen with live feed). is there a way to stop it happening?

(xbox, XBMC beta 2, latest version of plugin)

Still not working for me, it appears the URL that it produces is correct but XBMC just won't play it.

Here is the log file.
