It looks like each episode_item has an 'authEndDate' value (in millisecond epoch time), which appears to be the date that the episode will be unlocked. So, we might be able to change that if statement to just compare episode_item['authEndDate'] to datetime.now().
That works, will check it in once I've finished testing
FYI, here's what I did:
Replace
Code:
if ((datetime.now() - datetime.strptime(episode_item['airdate'], '%Y-%m-%d')).days >= 8) or (_common.args.name == 'Clips'):
with
Code:
if (int(time.time() * 1000) >= int(episode_item['authEndDate'])) or (_common.args.name == 'Clips'):
time.time() gets current time in seconds since epoch, then convert to milliseconds. That's the easiest way I found to run the check.
Would you be checking this in on the official channel, or the beta channel?
Fox doesn't work in the 0.7.6 branch
I just installed both the latest beta and stable versions from the zip files on the first page. I get an error when clicking on NBC. Below is the error from the log file. Anyone else having the same problem? Is there a newer version of nbc.py that I can get from somewhere, and if so, where?

***HELP** please keep in mind we are still using the older good versions of xbmc like 11.0 on power pc, it seems these plugins are version locked to nerwer versions.

There is an nbc update conming soon
Thanks for the update. Will Free Cable automatically update it when it is released or how will we know that it is released?

Try editing your spike.py file and replace the part "video_url7.split('mtvnorigin')[1]" in line 191 with "video_url7.split('viacomspikestrm')[2]
After I changed this in my spike.py (line 181), I can now get channels working on Spike again. This should work on the beta version as well.
This worked like a charm on both the beta and the 0.7.6 stable ver!! I don't know how you figured that out, but THANK YOU!!!
slices / moneymaker - I can confirm this fix works. May want to add this fix to the latest beta.

dont have that part anywhere in my spike.py file (not running beta)
It is indeed on line 181 of 0.7.6 stable ver. If it is not there, may want to double check which ver you have installed.
Hello guys.. I'm totally new to this.
So forgive my ignorance and everything. I know it might also be a little frustrating about if you need to explain everything step by step sometimes.
I did all the easy parts on my freshly installed xbmc (on windows)
I really want that free cable (history channel lover here) to work. I'm located outside the US.
I got o my fav channel for example History as I mentioned above and I come up to be in a directory in xbmc that shows Nothing in there)
What am I missng here.. I you might have gone through this again and again but this thread is a bit HUGE?
and I'm not familiar with many of the terms mentioned here. though I am familiar with my pc since many years ago (10) I studies Comp. Science but never got to work since I already had soemthing else.
so..
Please Help

I concur. Although, now The Colbert Report is broken as well; it was working for a few days after TDS stopped.
How can I help?

Most US based shows requires you to be in US. So use VPN.

I apologize for the long delay. I had to learn few things and find the logs etc.

I've tried many networks/shows but no cc/subs.

Subs better supported in the beta.
For people outside of the US smartdndproxy.com works well, althouhh history isn't working at the moment.
I'm having trouble with The Daily Show and Colbert Report as well. In the stable release I get an error ( log at
http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=158003 ). When I use the beta I get an empty directory listing inside the show. Any help would be appreciated.

Woohoo!
Since Hulu is all over the place with their CDNs and SWF Verification, I've been missing my NBC.
I'm missing my History Channel, too. I need Vikings!
comedy central completely restructured their show homepages around cc.com so I guess that also the whole web server structure including streaming links got relaunched. no wonder free cable currently isn't able to find the shows. no need for VPN, basically you can still stream all of their shows worldwide within your browser of choice. the plugin script just needs to be updated in order to be able to properly scrape the shows from the new webserver structure.
