[RELEASE] CTV Properties (CTV/TSN/Comedy/Discovery/etc)

Rumour has it that the latest development version of XBMC can do the playlist stuff that we're looking for, but I haven't had any luck getting any plugins to work with it, they seem to have some python issues, or maybe I do, I dunno

Works great - thanks! Looking forward to getting CBC as I really enjoy Dragon's Den which is incredibly difficult to find for download....

This is awesome. Thanks!!!

Wondering.. are any video feeds from Discovery available online in HD?

And damn them, last night I watched an episode via the plugin from How the Universe Works, today it's gone from their list!

I don't think any of the Canadian sites are streaming HD... too bad. I still have to rely on downloads together with streaming I'm hitting 10 gigs a day...

New version 1.2.0 available. Fixed a few bugs and added full support for live streams!!!!

You may run into some intermittent issues where a stream wont start right away and may require you to go 'back' a screen and try again. I really dont think this is an issue with the plugin, it seems XBMC just fails to open the stream once in a while, and there's nothing I can do about it.

As usual, please report any bugs or any streams that fail to play and include as much information as possible.

Enjoy!

I just updated and the live curling worked great. Great work on this plugin in such a short amount of time.

First off, thanks for a great plugin, it's nice to finally get some Canadian content.

I have been experiencing problems with loading any videos from MuchMusic. It seems to stop at 'Opening Stream' and will eventually go back to the menu.

This has occurred with each of the last 2 versions, and the 1.2.0 update does not seem to help the problem. TSN and CTV seem to work fine.

I have tried opening Muchmusic videos on 2 systems, both running OS X, XBMC for Mac.

Here is the log file, hopefully it helps diagnose this issue, as it seems others in the thread have had similar problems.

I had the same problem with that particular video and was able to get it to play by going back to the previous page, then forward again, and trying to play the clip again, it took 3 tries unfortunately, but the clip did play.

I realize it's annoying, but as far as I know, there's nothing I can do about this bug. I pass off the exact same stream url to XBMC every time, and it just fails to play once in a while, claiming the server isn't genuine adobe.

You can see this in your log file as it tries to open the stream:


Every time I've encountered this problem it was solved by going back/forward and trying again, sometimes it takes more than one retry. I'm still investigating to see if there's anything I can do, but I really believe this is an issue with XBMC's player and not the plugin.

Thanks for this addons, it was a shame none with Canadian content exist before.

It is probably right in fromt my nose, but after I updated yesterday the addoon, I wasn't able to find where the live streams are.
How do you browse to a stream using the addon?
