Great to see someone working on this, I have some problems though.

I downloaded your 3.0.1 zip but in the information in the addon it still says 3.0.0. Wrong link or am I missing something.

Most shows open but most require 2 or  3 tries

The shows lock up often.  

Any ideas on any of this

Thanks

Here is 3.0.2 --> https://github.com/mcowell/catchup4kodi/..._3.0.2.zip

I have updated the subtitles now to work just like the BBC.  You will get different colours for different actors.  Unfortunately for some reason the Kodi subtile settings do not seem to take affect on Matrix.  They work for my over the air streams but not for ITV / BBC.  It's odd.

I have fixed the date on the folders and also the time issue (it was displaying PM with 24hr time) and I have done a MASSIVE code cleanup to remove dead code that we are no longer using.

So the version number is totally my fault I am managing a large Java project in my actual job and we do automated release cycles so I never manually update a version number. haha.  Anyway - you should see 3.0.2 in the new release unless I have screwed something else up

Initially I had the issue where some streams would not play.  ITV returns a list of streams to the add-on and then we pass that list to Kodi - after that we have no control over what happens.  It turns out that some of the mobile streams were not supported by Kodi and so they would not play.  I have switched to using the 'youview' streams and, as far as my testing is going, I have a 100% success rate now.

Unfortunately I cannot assist with freezing, buffering, or issues like that.  The reason is, as I said above, once we give Kodi a list of stream, that's in for our part.  Effectively the code in the add-on ends at that point and Kodi takes over.  You may however, have some luck looking at the Kodi logs to see if there is anything helpful in them.

Let me know how 3.0.2 works for you.  I feel that perhaps I should go and create a Kodi repo since the original dev of this project seems to not be here anymore and so my pull request is just going to sit idle

It's great to have this add-on back, well done and thank you! 

You say that the Kodi subtitle settings do not take affect, but they do. For example if you increase the font it will give you a bigger font. The only thing that has no affect is the colour, but that's rather irrelevant now being you have actor specific colours. 

Maybe this is my imagination but the quality of picture appears slightly inferior since you switched to youview streams, it does say SD 576 though which is what it said before. It's a shame that ITV Hub is still putting out catch-up in SD.
