[RELEASE] TVCatchup.com (Video) Plugin - Live Stream UK Freeview Channels

Xbmc is open source, I would hope that other people are willing to share too.

In regards to "just making a plugin" - most sites are pirate and not legitimate.
They generally just steal the links from other people or index video storage providers.

"The BBC is a bloated rotting carcass of a never great organization that bleeds the British people like a filth ridden crimson Tick" - (Personal Opinion)Vin

Well done TvCatchup. Hurrah the lads dere !

Dis is a nice forum for dem dere nice people, y`know - play nice please.... Or the fish will eat your fingers and eye`s and skeleton will be bleached and used to make the glue for BBC license fee reminder letter envelopes.

Not sure I agree with the way the BBC is funded... and the wadges people earn off it.

But "The BBC is a bloated rotting carcass of a never great organization that bleeds the British people like a filth ridden crimson Tick"

A bit harsh?..... Have you have ever lived in other country and see the cr@p they get compared to UK/BBC channels?

Yes and have worked for the Beeb on more than one occasion - hence personal opinion brother.

Harsh, no, mayhap acrid ?

One revenue stream, not two.
If they want to steal the shirts of our collective backs then at least distract us with something interesting whilst the nosey bonk like thief creeps in and completes the task.

No product placement.

It`s almost an Orwellian dinosaur revelling in it`s dystopian enforced blindness - again personal opinion Geeba..

I just don`t like the Beeb brother. Unless they see fit to employ me , in which case I retract the above hehe.

The power of filthy lucre in CREDIT CRUNCH(must be in caps every time it appears as written) Britain.

Sure your not think of The House Of Commons?

Did a stint there myself many years ago supporting their network...

running XBMC 9041 on Xbox - when i load the plugin I just get an empty dir.. what might i be doing wrong please?

17:42:36 M: 38338560 ERROR: Unable to load: special://home/plugins/video/TVCatchup/resources/settings.xml, Line 0
Failed to open file

the zip i downloaded (from first post) contains only one file, should there be more?

Get the version modified by Omega (Post 20), they changed their site this week which broke the original plugin, Omega got it working again.

And yeah it's just one file in a folder, just don't forget to add your tvcatchup.com username/pass in the file.

Or you could go over to TVCatchup and get it off of our forum. The post is here http://forums.tvcatchup.com/showthread.p...#post30195

think i'll wait because theres little point fixing the plugin anyway if the site keeps changing.

Hi all..

been using xbmc for a while now (although not registered on here). think its an absolutely amazing bit of kit and have lots of respect to the guys that taken the time to code it all up ....

and again, the tv-catchup service, awesome ! especially with the convieniance of having it in XBMC (so cheers again tvc-dan/omega/fatman) lol.. tis a shame about all the politics though.

but i was basically wondering if i can have the password to the zip file or is that devs only or something??

cheers all

Yea, sorry about this, They/We are trying to bring an API in to make things better, but as a result is messes the plug-in up for the moment.

Ok I've fixed it temporally. If you go here you can grab a copy of the fixed plug-in : http://forums.tvcatchup.com/showthread.p...#post30422
