Is this addon Helix compatible? If not, please update, as I'm sure many people still watch the content.

The CBC and Global content still work for me. This is with Helix Beta 3.

Thanks so much, that worked. I see some CBC shows, but The National is empty :-(

Looks like CBC is broken for me, shows are there but it playing episodes I get a short video "cannot be streamed outside of canada"
Maybe it's some sort of DNS issue, I have my DNS set up for Netflix US, I'll monkey around with it and see if I can get it working.
Someone should probably write a CBC only plugin, compact and easy to maintain... I might do it if I can find the time

Its obvious that you are using USA DNS so you cannot watch Canadian CBC.. You have to turn off USA DNS to watch Canada CBC.

Yeah, it was my DNS service. Changing the HTPC to use my default ISP nameservers fixed CBC.
Streaming video seems way better in Kodi Helix, less crashes/hangs glad I upgraded.
Addendum: It's not "obvious" that using US DNS would cause this problem. Using US DNS doesn't change your source IP address, I'm not using a proxy or VPN tunnel.

Hi,
Has there been any developments on CTV for this addon since the last few posts? I have tried everything to make this work but have not been able to. I downloaded and installed the ZIP from the "marius-muja" link but I don't see a difference from what I had installed previously via the standard repository.
Here are some of my observations:
* Any/all CTV links via this add-on result in a script failed message. Please see log below.
* CTV links from the Chrome browser do not work despite disabling Ad-Blocking addons. UPDATE: Now works from Chrome not sure why it was not working before everything was the exact same. Strange.
* CTV links DO work from IE no problem
Can anyone please help out with this issue? Thanks.

The creator of this add-on was far too ambitious in including as many channels as are available. As I've discovered, the links to these websites change ever so often and must be refreshed. Discovery Canada is another that has went down recently.
The CBC current affairs content along with Global News are the only channels left that I still use. Fortunately, I am fond of the quality of CBC current affairs content (The Nature of Things, Doc Zone, The Passionate Eye, The Fifth Estate, Marketplace, The National , etc.), so the worst is yet to come.
It would be nice, though, if the channels that still work were moved to their own add-on. As stated, there are too many channels in Canada On-Demand to be one add-on.
