Has anyone noticed TBS streams now dropping after about 60secs of playing? It used to work beautifully, now every show I stream drops after about a minute of playing

I put in the abc.py fix and switched to RSS but for the show Castle it only shows three episodes from much earlier in the season. Anyone else getting this? Using ATV2.
2013-04-25, 03:39
Please read back a few threads/pages - the abc fix has issues with latest episodes. This has been mentioned multiple times

Ladies and gentlemen,
Please, for the sake of everyone in the community who uses the Free Cable add on, submit your changes/fixes/work arounds directly to Bluecop along with posting them here. The community give back for this add on is great and it is a shame your work is not being appreciated by more. Submit the patches to bluecop at his repository and see if he will roll them out for all to use. It would save many of us from searching for specific fixes and in the long run will save him the need to search through old posts to find the fixes you guys spent time creating for us. Thanks!

Following the instructions on previous posts I have got CBS working on my xbian flavour of raspberry pi but still get an error when running abc. I've checked rss feeds but still get script error? Any thoughts?
Thanks
Thanks

I submitted my pbskids patch, it's giving me errors with the other two will try later
On ABC I've gone as far as I can. Replacing the playlist id (starts PL) in the RSS url with -1 gives all episodes. However the newer ones still won't play.
The video ids are in the urls on the feed, although the regex needs to be case insentitve.
http://abc.go.com/vp2/ws/s/contents/2004...07000004_1 gives the meta data for a video.
The older ones have two assets, one of type mov and the other uplynk. The mov link is what the addon uses. The newer episodes don't have mov links which is why the are failing to play.
I've tried hardcoding the m38u link in the addon but it doesn't play.
This is the link http://content.uplynk.com/ext/d874124ecc...00891.m3u8

ABC changed the way how they are providing the Videos.
I rewrite the script.
It is shorter and I also think faster.
But I ran into the same Problem like you.... the new Videos are linked by kaltura.com
Currently I get the m3u8 file with the secret to get the TS files.
Til the first advertisment it is working with ffmpeg.
I just looking for a solution to get the stream as mp4 or flv...
But this is not easy.
The best is... if this is working we can use it for abcfamily, Disney and so on.

Noticed an issue with SPIKE yesterday. It was not happening the day before. It gives a script error when trying to load the list of full episodes for all the shows that I tried. If a show has the option to view clips, you can load the list of clips and they will play fine.

Try this http://pastebin.com/ph7T3BvZ spike.py
If anyone else is having an issue with theCW, I've made a change so it uses the same url as the website so that I can bypass the geolocking. Changed the third from last line in the file to
rtmpurl = 'rtmpe://wbworldtv.fcod.llnwd.net/a2246/o23/ playpath='+playpath.replace('Level3','') +" swfurl=" + swfurl + " swfvfy=true"
Complete file here if it's of use to anyone. http://pastebin.com/byA1JaXj thecw.py

That Spike fix works PERFECTLY on OpenElec ION 64 bit build. Thanks!

I am getting the same error as you are. Looks like they changed something again.

Getting the same 404 Error for CBS in my log using the cbs.py from 4/16 as well - does this mean CBS changed the urls?
