Hello. Is there a way to edit the addon so that it included the featured show at the top of this page http://www.hgtv.com/shows/full-episodes?

It properly scrapes the shows below the featured show but not the featured one.


kind regards

V2.1.3 in my git:
https://github.com/learningit/plugin.video.hgtv
Has fix for first show.


If you have installed my test repo:
https://github.com/learningit/repository...odi_addons

You should get an "auto-update" or "update available" message, depending on your "auto-update" setting. You may need to do a "Check for updates" to see the new version.

Please let me know if this works so that I can get the kodi.org repo updated.

I get an error when I open HGTV add on. Here is the link to the log: http://xbmclogs.com/pcyrcldal , any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

The website seems to have any issue.
Addon picks up full episodes from here:
http://www.hgtv.com/shows/full-episodes

There are shows but no videos. Let's see what happens, it may be a website problem or they may not offer full episodes anymore.

EDIT Have a look at my HGTV Canada addon, has a lot more content.

I have been having a similar problem and my kodi would freeze when I try to open the HGTV addon. I tried to uninstall and then reinstall but when I went to reinstall I couldn't find the addon in the Kodi repository. Is anyone else having similar issues?

You might want to actually READ the forum posts. See this post:

It is in the Kodi.org repo as well as my test repo.

Hi Learningit: Yes, I have the Canadian one as well, just added it yesterday. Just that it would have been nice to have both. Thank you for your response.

All you do is waste developer's time responding to things that already have been responded to, there's no excuse they're on the same damn page.

V2.1.4 in my git and test repo.
The website still seems to have a problem, but there are a few shows with full episodes. I've made some changes to allow those shows to display in the addon.
The content is very limited at this point, hopefully the website will be updated soon and more content will return.

Thanks, Learningit! Just tested it and it does what you described.

Looks like the website did get an update; I counted 11 shows with full episodes.

Version 2.1.5 in my git and test repo.

This fixes an issue raised by Randy Lai on github where the addon would crash if the website returned a null url instead of a playable video url.

@learningit, if you want, you could probably start a new thread, so you can change the OP text. I can shut this one down and direct new questions over to that one. That way any frequently repeated questions can be addressed in a FAQ.

Also, apologies if it's been addressed, but somebody on reddit was asking about this link: http://watch.hgtv.com/live.html I guess they use chrome launcher to launch just that link. Would be neat, I guess, if it could be played directly in the addon, though it's got stupid cable stuff going on, so probably not feasible.

edit: If you do decide to start a new thread PM me, as I might not notice otherwise.

I have been playing with the Chromium Embedded Framework https://github.com/cztomczak/cefpython to allow all the Scripps live channels, as well as Hulu to be played through Kodi. Basically it integrates Chrome directly into a Kodi addon. It works pretty well, but requires some tech knowledge to install. Using CEF Python you have direct control of the mouse and keyboard in the addon. You can also do some pretty nice html display stuff from an addon. It currently only works on Windows, Linux, Mac, but I saw someone was doing Android as well.

I've been kinda sitting on these addons because of the crap I saw with a live sports addon where cable ids were being bought and sold. I'm not interested in supporting that stuff.

If you have cable, the best way I've found to integrate it into Kodi is through the HD Homerun.
