As it was with FreeTV, It just gives you access to a couple "clips" of tv shows. Whoever sits around and says "You know, I would like to scroll through a huge list and wait minutes for the list to load so I can watch 2 minutes of the middle of a show!"? lol
Am I missing something here? Do some people only want to watch a minute or two of the middle of a tv show?
You are missing everything ? why you talking about watching only 2 minutes....with this amazing addon i am watching entire shows, series ( big bang theorie/all late night shows ,all sitcoms ) to keep it short you can watch everything whats on a non pay tv channel in the US entirely.
RE: USTV VoD (Video-on-Demand) - moneymaker - 2015-01-09
Ehh big difference between piracy add-on and legal add-on! e.g. CBS is locking content only for cable provider users. U.S. citizens or VPN users are able to watch full episodes 'n shows. In addition "Genesis" is much better than FreeTV just fyi.
Although next time use support thread.
RE: USTV VoD (Video-on-Demand) - jonandtice - 2015-01-30
This is a philosophical question about this addon so I think I'm doing right by asking here instead of on the support thread...
First of all, I love this addon. I'm a cord cutter and this addon allows my wife to keep up with Grey's Anatomy et al which makes me a hero and gives me more gaming time. I'm assuming (because I haven't checked) that if I were to watch the content offered by this addon on the respective website on my browser there would be commercials. Does this addon actively prevent those commercials from being played?
I know commercials are (very) annoying but I would think it best to try to stay on the good side of the broadcasters and encourage their willingness to provide free online content by displaying their commercials and maybe even letting them know how much more views they get through the addon. Maybe some would be more willing to drop their paywalls. After all, this is no longer the "Free Cable" addon.

Adverts aren't actively blocked, if they are in the video stream they play. Mostly the ads are separate and we just haven't included code to play them
From what I can remember online there are generally less add than on TV. Most of them are just a preroll ad. Something to look at.
I'm not sure about enabling additional tracking, how would we tell if it worked.

Fox fails with Script failed _proxy.py Any idea why? Lifetime also fails in this manner.

RE: USTV VoD (Video-on-Demand) - mrhoque - 2015-02-08
Thank you for this nice addon. Is it possible to add cable subscription info in the addon so that we can grab more episode from the provider site?
for example with cox subscription we can get all latest episode from food network, hgtv, history etc.
RE: USTV VoD (Video-on-Demand) - MrPhatal - 2015-02-08
Is there a way to have a tv guide to select from either with this add-on or another?
RE: USTV VoD (Video-on-Demand) - slices - 2015-02-08
Remember we have a separate support thread. Not sure how a TV guide would work here, most of the episodes here are essentially provided as a cathcup service, what did you have in mind?
