doesnt seem to make a difference for me. i tried about 20 times all failed. all while my xios plays first time everytime (previously wasnt working but seemed to have fixed itself).
only difference i can see is the xios uses dvdplayer as default and rpi/openelec uses oxmplayer.. dvdplayer couldnt play the stream either on the rpi though.

any rpi users here have any success with openelec xbmc build and hockey night in canada with this plugin?

Reading through these it seems like there is a couple people who can't watch anything. I am the same. I believe it has to do with a version incompatibility. I don't think the dev has updated it for XBMC 12.1, so either be patient or downgrade.

i dont think thats the issue entirely.

steps to take:
delete your current xbmc build
clear your xbmc data (different for each OS)
download the latest stable release (12.2) for your OS of choice
grab the latest canada on demand (https://github.com/marius-muja/plugin.video.canada.on.demand)
install plugin. test.

this ensures a clean install, with 12.2. i can vouch that 12.2 is compatible with this plugin on pcs but other devices not so much. my xios works, my osx works, my win7 works, but my raspberry pi does not.

Might be that you are just missing beautiful soup on the pi. Speaking of which, what is the official way to obtain it?

soup?

RE: [RELEASE] Canada On Demand (Successor to CTV Properties) - micahg - 2013-05-13

Beautiful Soup is a script the plugin depends on. Its a python module that (as I understand it) makes malformed XML (eg: HTML) well-formed. Or something like that. Anyway, I noticed that when pulling from Git I had errors in the log until I installed the XBMC beautfiul soup component (script.module.beautifulsoup). Normally I just google around for the XBMC release and wget it from a random mirror. Not sure where or how to get it officially, which I would have though was possible since I think its an official addon.

RE: [RELEASE] Canada On Demand (Successor to CTV Properties) - DJ_Izumi - 2013-05-13

Does anybody know which ports that CTV/Discovery and other related properties stream on? I'm having QoS issues on my router with streaming them while other downloads are going, I have ports 80 and 443 set to high priority, but it doesn't seem to influence CTV or Discovery so I'm guessing it's streaming on a different port. Any ideas?

those two, as well try 1935. best bet is to watch your router logs or snoop traffic on your pc to see which ports its using.

it comes with the youtube app. ill see if this fixes the issue in 2 hours Smile

didnt seem to work. tried watching the scotia bank hnic preview and it does same thing.

heres a list of the scripts for the rpi/openelec
Code:
script.module.beautifulsoup
script.module.httplib2
script.module.parsedom
script.module.simple.downloader
script.module.simplejson

and here is a list of the scripts for my xios
Code:
script.module.beautifulsoup/
script.module.httplib2/
script.module.parsedom/
script.module.simple.downloader/

and here is my osx
Code:
script.module.beautifulsoup
script.module.buggalo
script.module.parsedom
script.module.simple.downloader
all works except for rpi. so, anything else i can try?

I'm suddenly having an issue with Global TV. Anyone else having this issue? Did global change their site layout?

RE: [RELEASE] Canada On Demand (Successor to CTV Properties) - sinthus - 2013-05-20

I love this addon! I was wondering if I could make a request? I like to watch EP daily and reviews on the run, and since I became a cord cutter I haven't been able to watch any of these episodes, unless it is within a web browser. Could these shows be added to the addon? The site is Canadian and I believe it would fit in well with the addon. The web site is http://www.reviewsontherun.com. Thanks for a great addon.

RE: [RELEASE] Canada On Demand (Successor to CTV Properties) - dwueppel - 2013-05-24

I've been using this plugin for quite some time now and I've been through a few of the different versions/releases of this (ie the branches). It seems that a branch gets made and then is abandoned and some branches have things that work better than others. I was wondering what branch/version everybody was actually using?

In addition I have a fix for anybody who was having issues with Showcase not working. The problem I had was that it would play a clip for about a minute and then just stop. I looked back in the thread and a similar problem was found for Global TV. I did some investigating and found a similar fix. In any case here is the diff for the change I made.

RE: [RELEASE] Canada On Demand (Successor to CTV Properties) - zxarr - 2013-05-26

Good day,

Odd thing; the show MasterChef is available online on CTV.ca, but does not show up in the show listing on Canada on Demand.

Anyone have an idea why?
