Broken Discovery Channels - Matrix version 2021.10.08 available
Is Discovery Channels still working for anyone?

More website changes. Sad Figured this was coming sooner or later.

I'll look into it this weekend and see if I can get it going again.

So after a bit of tinkering, I've been able to restore virtually all functionality to the add-on. We've lost MotorTrend though, as they are either no longer offering unlocked episodes, or just have none available at this time. Otherwise the updated version functions the same as the previous version - there are occasional thumbnails that do not show, and the occasional unlocked episode that does not play. I get the feeling I'm missing something obvious here, but still just can't seem to nail down the cause of this behavior. I'll continue looking into it. On the plus side though, I'm seeing that there are more unlocked episodes available from some of the channels, they're just buried deeper within the API. It will take some time, but I hope to provide access to these via the add-on by months end (provided there are no more website changes that break my latest update). Meantime, please download the latest version from the link below, from the first post in this thread, or from my repository.

Discovery Channels - v 3.3.1

Thank you very much, works fine so far, looking forward to the next update.
Has Animal Planet been working for anyone? All the other channels work except that one.

The json data format from Animal Planet has changed slightly and is causing that channel to fail. I'll look into fixing/patching it. I don't know if the other channels will follow with the same changes, so I might wait until the weekend and see if any others change too. I think the last time I had to make a major change to the code Animal Planet was the first one that adopted the new format.

Thanks for reporting the error.

It's been like this for a couple of months now so I doubt anything else will change. I guess I'm the only one who likes watching The Zoo. 🤣

I like to watch that show from time to time, though it's obviously been a while.

I did look at this over the weekend, and found the changes were much more than I expected. I don't have much if any free time during the week though, so I'll try to get back to it next weekend and see if I can get it going again.

Some, but obviously not enough. Time has been short lately and I haven't been able to stay on this. Hopefully I can get it sorted soon.

Matrix version available.

Discovery Channels - v 2021.10.10

I've removed channels that are not working (Animal Planet, Discovery Science, AHN, DIY). The code for these pages has changed greatly, but I'll work to add these back in when/if I can come up with a fix. This version will not be available from my repo.

If you have any issues with the add-on, please post a log (wiki).
