[RELEASE] Canada On Demand (Successor to CTV Properties)

Thank you for your continued work on this plugin. It's good to see Canadian content up here.

Some other Canadian content:

- CityTV (some good content)
- National Film Board (all content available)
- Télé-Québec (lots of content)
- V-Télé (also lots of content)

Just to make it even more complete!

Is it possible to have "Family Channel" added?

I think this is the Canadian equivalent of the Disney Channel...

Pretty cool plugin!

@SimonMTL

I'm currently working at understanding all the Brightcove-based channel content. City, V (and TeleQ iirc) are all examples of channels using Brightcove as a backend.

Never thought of NFB, but I don't recognise the backend so that might be custom/later development (sorry)

Noticed two small bugs after bookmarking CTV Local News / Toronto:

1. I typed in a label of "CTV Toronto", but it shows in my bookmarks as just Toronto, ie. it's not displaying the label I specified. Tried it a couple times to confirm.

2. Bookmarking sub-headings, like Toronto under CTV Local News, doesn't have an image associated with it under bookmarks. A sensible default would be to use the image from its parent, CTV Local News.

Just two aesthetic notes I'm sure you've noticed yourself:

1. some of the images don't display very well with a black background. Most of them look great on a white background though (except Tou.TV and Global News). Perhaps placing a white background behind the icons would be a better default.

2. some of the images aren't sized properly for certain views in a theme, ie. panel display in particularly stretches them. Not sure if there's anything you could do about this, but not really a big deal.

Both fixed, but you probably wont get the icon unless you delete/re-add the bookmark.

as for the channel logo's.... I'm lazy, and that's no fun i can't put a background behind them in the plugin, the images would all need to be edited, and that's a big tedious pain in the butt if you ask me.

one of these days I'll get around to it, or if someone else wants to do it I'll pull their changes into the repository.

For anyone who might be interested, I've added a new plugin to my repository containing lots of live news streams from cspan, al-jazeera, bbc, cnn etc.

Works extremely well, just a shame that they show in the order that we put them, and we can't just do an alphabetical listing (option is greyed out).

The Bookmark option is an IMMENSE improvement over the past versions, it really helps keep tight control over our shows, organize to our preference, and keep away the clutter.

Is it possible to add sorting by bookmark name?
