Haven't seen anyone posting about this, so I assume it's just me, but I can't figure out how to solve this.. For the last month or so, I haven't been able to watch any of the Engadget videos anymore, even though the Engadget shows still work. Basically I just get nothing, or in rare instances and error.

Looking at the log, I see viddler links that work if I paste them into a browser, wether on the same machine or on another.

This is an excerpt of the log:

It doesn't seem to be an IPv4/IPv6 issue, as viddler does not yet have AAAA records for it's domain. The XML is downloaded without a problem and I can download the video files without any problem if I use a browser, but it doesn't work from within XBMC/Engadget video add on.

Extra info: Mac OS 10.7.4 and 10.8, XBMC 12.0.alpha4 (Git-20120729-e7bd57a) and 11.0 (Git-20120321-14feb09), Engadget addon version 1.0.2 (divingmule) and 1.0.1 (divingmule)

Any ideas?

An update is on the way. Seems we now need to spoof the user-agent when requesting the html5 urls.

good to hear, thought I was doing something wrong! Glad you'll be updating the plugin, I quite like it.

Thanks!

Just saw that the addon updated. It's working again, great!
