TBH the streams are far superior on the ITV website, no chance of them being closed down and also have itv 2 3 and 4. Been hoping the live streams would be added like the BBC addon.

Demand 5 is never going to work. I had a working addon for sometime, and then Demand 5 moved to Widevine DRM.
I think you should prepare for MORE DRM not less. All the broadcasters are under a lot of pressure to secure content to prevent piracy. Channel 5 shows a lot of imported programmes, especially from the US. Most of the US programme makers employ as many lawyers as they do producers....
This is not something that any open developer can deal with - even looking at a DRM trace can land you in trouble due to DMCA.
For the UK, YouView was designed as a semi-open platform for catch-up TV - they publish a spec that developers can build to but it is not for the open-source/amateur world. YouView has support for BBC, ITV, 4OD and Demand 5.

Mikey1234 is taking over the repo, and has made quite a few changes to the code. I pulled the latest from his repo last night and did a quick-and-dirty hack to see if the streams worked over port 443.
Good news - they do !
It'll need a new menu option in the settings, but that isn't difficult. I'll have a go at this sometime in the next few days, but Mikey1234 is still working on adding ITV2 and ITV3 live streams. It would be better to include the port 443 workaround with the full update.
