andre_pl,
I have gotten CBC and Global streams to work, using the XOT-framework from Basje, and was looking into CTV when I came across your [release] announcement.
I'll go over your plugin now.
Let's touch base as if it's easy to extend, I have all the JSON queries figured out for Canwest (global, food, hgtv etc) and CBC

@Temhil: Live Streams are just mixed in with the rest of the content, there isn't really any way to distinguish them from regular streams. Thats just due to the way the CBC websites are laid out.
@renaudtrudel: I've already started work on the successor to this plugin, it's called CanadaOnDemand. I've already got all of the CTV Functionality ported over and about 80% of CBC working, including parsing all of the json responses, all that's left is the actual streaming for it.
Thanks for the offer anyhow, and if I need any help I'll let you know. I'll be pushing out an alpha version some time today. keep an eye out.

Salut André,
if you have the CBC JSON going, then it's probably a very simple to add the canwest streams (i went in reverse direction easily)
I'll wait for your alpha which includes CBC, then i can plow through and add canwest to
1) relieve you a bit ;-)
2) not waste the effort i made using XOT-Framework.
If you're parsing CBC JSON responses, it should be a shoe-in.
If you still want help before-release, you can PM/email me. The streaming is encoded a bit silly with the <break> nonsense in the rtmp:// url response, I can help get that ball rolling.
Cheers,

Needs a decent icon... (Waving Canadian flag or 3D map?) but works as you've indicated. No Global..

This plugin sounds great.
I am getting a script error for every channel and video.
Is this content geo-restricted (I am in the USA. Is there a restriction based on my ip address?)?
Thanks.

re: script errors...
you should really wait until the plugin is functional or packages as a specific dotted release...
I know there are anxious people out there: I am one of them and that's why I am giving André a hand (this has been a long time coming for Canadian channels)
re: geolocation... same as the actual content providers, if any.

For some strange reason, I can't queue up clips from different "folders".
Example:
1. go to CTV News > CTV National News > March 8
2. play clip 1
3. navigate back and queue up clip 2, 3, 4
4. navigate up two levels and choose LATEST
5. queue up anything and check the "Now Playing" list.
the previously queued up clips 2, 3 and 4 disappear.
I haven't seen this happen with other plugins.
Would you mind looking into this?
Thanks.
