You'll see it has a lot of foreign drama content, including Australian content that ITV does not show. (Straits, East West 101 etc) as well as Sports coverage (FreeSports and EdgeSports) and Music (Quello)
conversely, it does not show certain ITV shows, see Celebrity Juice or other programmes on ITV2 and/or ITV Be
While STV being available on Catchup and More in a way solves one problem for users,(Corrie, Emmerdale) it creates others too.
MY5 and Channel4 addons would be most welcome too. Particularly when you see what the services offer.
the issue comes down to someone with the required skills having the time and desire to code up the addon. I see what you mean I guess I didn't notice all the differences because it's nothing I personally watch.
The fix for this add-on by @dr_torch does fix all the catch-up though so what is it you are missing? Is it the live TV or improved quality of streams that you want?
I will take a look at this but not really sure if I do have the required skills.
What is it I am missing?
An addon access itv catch up itself. (all 6 channels.) Although, I no longer use Kodi to access catch up services since addons for bbc/itv became incredibly unreliable due to devs either not keeping up with changes in kodi (mostly dodgy little feckers on sites that are now both banned and no longer maintained.) or the catch up service made a change beyond kodi's purview, (no drm streams would be supported, a caveat that has now be rescinded.)
i use a firestck and access bbc/itv/channel4/channel5 through that. I use kodi on a nuc for local content. But it would be great to see addons developed for what are essentially the largest free VOD services in the UK. Channel4 alone is massive, it's just a shame no dev seems to be bothered If you install release 3.0.2 via the zip created by @dr_torch then this add-on does access all ITV catch-up that's available on ITV hub.

THanks for the info. But as I said, I don't need it.
Now, remind me. Wasn't Catchup4Kodi one of the banned addons? Looking at what is on the repo, the irish tv one hasn't worked in years (two channels are no longer transmitting and the rest have long since change streaming protocols akamidihd at least on rte - with some rather irritating tracking site back up for the programme listing)
As I said, I got fed up with the UK addons being poorly coded and maintained by dodgy little feckers on banned sites (CU4Kodi was part of a sued site I think. muckyduck code is all over parts of those addons)
But would be interested in any development for a Channel 5 (my5) addon or even better, one for Channel 4 (which is the largest free streaming service in the UK and Ireland) being developed.

The ITV streams on their own website are at 540p, the higher quality web streams available via amazon prime channels, and you will not be able to access them without an amazon account with the channel subscription (in this case itv+ seeITV Channel Plus Amazon Channel
and/or device (the pirate cappers use a modded hdmi plug to capture the stream and save the file.)
The live stream from itv hub should work and needs to be coded in correctly, a link to which I did provide a few pages back
namely ITV1 is hosted here

But all content is in dash video container, with a varying stream bumping quality of picture and or sound depending on network connection. An issue that the bbc iplayer addon also has and/or had to contend with a while back. And those dash streams are becoming mainstream, the previous stream providers of akamihd and brightcove are either being phased out or swapping over.
Been trying to get a dev to work on a channel 4 addon for almost 5 years now. Doubt it will ever happen, it's easier to simply use the firestick addon with an adblock dns to remove adverts.

Good afternoon.
I'm not sure what else I can offer here unfortunately. I'm limited by what streams ITV offers on youview and mobile streams and I have no knowledge of encrypted streams.
Have you had any luck on your end getting better quality? Today my Samsung TV and my Android tablet updated the ITV Hub app to v2.29.0. The streams now are a massive improvement on the previous ITV Hub. I haven't checked but I'm sure these are now HD. Does this open up any new possibilities of getting HD in this add-on? You mentioned previously something about a samsungtv and an Android platformTag.

I just received this information from ITV Hub
"Thanks for contacting ITV Hub.
That is correct, our development team is working on HD across a number of Samsung models, this is roughly 2018 & above.
The android app doesn't yet have the HD support, rest assured the team are working on making available across more devices.
I have since registered your interest in seeing it on the Android platform, details will reviewed by the development team."
I am surprised by what they say about Android though because following the latest ITV Hub update the quality of streams visually improved on my Amazon Firestick. Maybe ITV Hub via Amazon channels is different to other Android devices.

Hello,
I ported dr_torch's version to python2, so it runs on kodi 18 "Leia" and possibly lower.
It can be downloaded from https://github.com/Kereltje/catchup4kodi/raw/leia/zips/plugin.video.itv/plugin.video.itv-3.0.2.zip

Maybe ITV Hub via Amazon channels is different to other Android devices. The amazon channels subscription for ITV is different to any other format for itv (amazon app, android app, apple app, linux/mac/windows browser access.) it is supplied and maintained by AWS.
The browser streams are encrypted and are according to the supplied manifest in each video page on the site split according to resolution and audio, with subtitles supplied as vtt.

Those streams are encrypted, and will not be played unless a decryption key is provided, a key which is different for each individual program.
ITV hub, without a plus subscription does not supply a 720p or 1080p stream. and only stereo (2 channel sound).

At present they are not encrypted, but who knows when. Meanwhile, the 1080p streams have the resolution but not the bitrate of a fullHD broadcast. They are using a similar approach SBS or ABC in Au are using at the present.
But looking at say, SVT in sweden, they offer some modicum of hope for you and your search for hd content.

That last entry gives a 1080p 5mb bitrate 5.1 audio stream, in this case for the as yet unbroadcasted Midsomer Murders S22E5 episode, For Death Prepare. https://www.svtplay.se/video/32060859/morden-i-midsomer/morden-i-midsomer-sasong-22-scarecrow-murders
But, outside of the networks, and their technical teams you will not know if there will be a change over to higher resolution services. And most importantly for addons to offically run on kodi, no de-drm hacks.
And since encrypted streams are becoming the norm, getting such streams to work easily may be a problem for both the coders (who already do fantastic work.) and certain platforms. Googles widevine is becoming a standard, if not already and provides access to or limits access to certain HiRes streams depending on the platform that is accessing said stream. See the amazon prime forum for more details on that.

"Thanks for contacting ITV Hub.
That is correct, our development team is working on HD across a number of Samsung models, this is roughly 2018 & above.
The android app doesn't yet have the HD support, rest assured the team are working on making available across more devices.
I have since registered your interest in seeing it on the Android platform, details will reviewed by the development team."
I am surprised by what they say about Android though because following the latest ITV Hub update the quality of streams visually improved on my Amazon Firestick. Maybe ITV Hub via Amazon channels is different to other Android devices. The amazon channels subscription for ITV is different to any other format for itv (amazon app, android app, apple app, linux/mac/windows browser access.) it is supplied and maintained by AWS.
The browser streams are encrypted and are according to the supplied manifest in each video page on the site split according to resolution and audio, with subtitles supplied as vtt.
See below as an example Taken from Stephen Series 1 Episode 1, broadcast last night.

Those streams are encrypted, and will not be played unless a decryption key is provided, a key which is different for each individual program.
ITV hub, without a plus subscription does not supply a 720p or 1080p stream. and only stereo (2 channel sound).
Meanwhile over at STV, in which the stream quailty changes depending on the provider of the programmes, things a bit different, but only just.
Same programme, gives this

At present they are not encrypted, but who knows when. Meanwhile, the 1080p streams have the resolution but not the bitrate of a fullHD broadcast. They are using a similar approach SBS or ABC in Au are using at the present.
But looking at say, SVT in sweden, they offer some modicum of hope for you and your search for hd content.

That last entry gives a 1080p 5mb bitrate 5.1 audio stream, in this case for the as yet unbroadcasted Midsomer Murders S22E5 episode, For Death Prepare. https://www.svtplay.se/video/32060859/morden-i-midsomer/morden-i-midsomer-sasong-22-scarecrow-murders
But, outside of the networks, and their technical teams you will not know if there will be a change over to higher resolution services. And most importantly for addons to offically run on kodi, no de-drm hacks.
And since encrypted streams are becoming the norm, getting such streams to work easily may be a problem for both the coders (who already do fantastic work.) and certain platforms. Googles widevine is becoming a standard, if not already and provides access to or limits access to certain HiRes streams depending on the platform that is accessing said stream. See the amazon prime forum for more details on that. The ITV Hub on my Samsung TV is definitely HD without plus, the only annoying thing is the adverts. Everything I've watched from STV via the Kodi Catch-Up TV and More add-on has been HD. As for this add-on nobody is maintaining it so I don't actually bother with it anymore Catch-Up TV and More works for me.

"Thanks for contacting ITV Hub.
That is correct, our development team is working on HD across a number of Samsung models, this is roughly 2018 & above.
The android app doesn't yet have the HD support, rest assured the team are working on making available across more devices.
I have since registered your interest in seeing it on the Android platform, details will reviewed by the development team."
I am surprised by what they say about Android though because following the latest ITV Hub update the quality of streams visually improved on my Amazon Firestick. Maybe ITV Hub via Amazon channels is different to other Android devices. The amazon channels subscription for ITV is different to any other format for itv (amazon app, android app, apple app, linux/mac/windows browser access.) it is supplied and maintained by AWS.
The browser streams are encrypted and are according to the supplied manifest in each video page on the site split according to resolution and audio, with subtitles supplied as vtt.
See below as an example Taken from Stephen Series 1 Episode 1, broadcast last night.

Those streams are encrypted, and will not be played unless a decryption key is provided, a key which is different for each individual program.
ITV hub, without a plus subscription does not supply a 720p or 1080p stream. and only stereo (2 channel sound).
Meanwhile over at STV, in which the stream quailty changes depending on the provider of the programmes, things a bit different, but only just.
Same programme, gives this

At present they are not encrypted, but who knows when. Meanwhile, the 1080p streams have the resolution but not the bitrate of a fullHD broadcast. They are using a similar approach SBS or ABC in Au are using at the present.
But looking at say, SVT in sweden, they offer some modicum of hope for you and your search for hd content.

That last entry gives a 1080p 5mb bitrate 5.1 audio stream, in this case for the as yet unbroadcasted Midsomer Murders S22E5 episode, For Death Prepare. https://www.svtplay.se/video/32060859/morden-i-midsomer/morden-i-midsomer-sasong-22-scarecrow-murders
But, outside of the networks, and their technical teams you will not know if there will be a change over to higher resolution services. And most importantly for addons to offically run on kodi, no de-drm hacks.
And since encrypted streams are becoming the norm, getting such streams to work easily may be a problem for both the coders (who already do fantastic work.) and certain platforms. Googles widevine is becoming a standard, if not already and provides access to or limits access to certain HiRes streams depending on the platform that is accessing said stream. See the amazon prime forum for more details on that. The ITV Hub on my Samsung TV is definitely HD without plus, the only annoying thing is the adverts. Everything I've watched from STV via the Kodi Catch-Up TV and More add-on has been HD. As for this add-on nobody is maintaining it so I don't actually bother with it anymore Catch-Up TV and More works for me.
I wonder if it's possible to block the adverts (I'm assuming you mean the "sponsored by dominoes" idents followed by the same ad or two before any catchup plays?) by using an advert blocking dns like https://adhole.org/, or https://dns.oszx.co/ will work similar to how adblock stops adverts on the browser.

Those streams are encrypted, and will not be played unless a decryption key is provided, a key which is different for each individual program.
ITV hub, without a plus subscription does not supply a 720p or 1080p stream. and only stereo (2 channel sound).
Meanwhile over at STV, in which the stream quailty changes depending on the provider of the programmes, things a bit different, but only just.
Same programme, gives this

At present they are not encrypted, but who knows when. Meanwhile, the 1080p streams have the resolution but not the bitrate of a fullHD broadcast. They are using a similar approach SBS or ABC in Au are using at the present.
But looking at say, SVT in sweden, they offer some modicum of hope for you and your search for hd content.

That last entry gives a 1080p 5mb bitrate 5.1 audio stream, in this case for the as yet unbroadcasted Midsomer Murders S22E5 episode, For Death Prepare. https://www.svtplay.se/video/32060859/morden-i-midsomer/morden-i-midsomer-sasong-22-scarecrow-murders
But, outside of the networks, and their technical teams you will not know if there will be a change over to higher resolution services. And most importantly for addons to offically run on kodi, no de-drm hacks.
And since encrypted streams are becoming the norm, getting such streams to work easily may be a problem for both the coders (who already do fantastic work.) and certain platforms. Googles widevine is becoming a standard, if not already and provides access to or limits access to certain HiRes streams depending on the platform that is accessing said stream. See the amazon prime forum for more details on that. The ITV Hub on my Samsung TV is definitely HD without plus, the only annoying thing is the adverts. Everything I've watched from STV via the Kodi Catch-Up TV and More add-on has been HD. As for this add-on nobody is maintaining it so I don't actually bother with it anymore Catch-Up TV and More works for me.
I wonder if it's possible to block the adverts (I'm assuming you mean the "sponsored by dominoes" idents followed by the same ad or two before any catchup plays?) by using an advert blocking dns like https://adhole.org/, or https://dns.oszx.co/ will work similar to how adblock stops adverts on the browser. I am talking about the Samsung app on my TV so not sure how you would do that. When I've previously tried ad blockers on the ITV Hub via a browser they've always detected it and said the service won't with ad blockers. I tried a few but then just gave up after I managed to get the dev for Catch-up TV and More to fix a few bugs on their STV offering.

Smartdns is an edit of your network settings on your tv. set dns to static, block ipv6 and enter the providers two ip addresses, reboot and your laughing.
As for adblocking on the itv hub, via a web browser, ublock works fine.
And STV will work only for as long as the streams remain unencrypted, but since widevine and similar is becoming standard, it may take a bit more that some slight edits to fix. pulling the mpd manifest and obtaining the encryption key may, or may not be allowed on certain platforms depending on what is allowed. Even libreelec have had a bit of a mare sorting out widevine binaries for their latest release https://libreelec.tv/2021/07/18/le-9-2-fix-2-for-widevine/

I must be missing something. If STV becomes a problem I will look into unblocking ads elsewhere. I've not found one that works yet for ITV Hub but I will check out ublock. 👍
