steveottawa I do not have the ".zip" file used for installing the CBC v4.0.4 addon. I only have a backup of my entire Raspberry Pi microSD card. Using this I have been restoring the "~/.kodi/addons/plugin.video.cbc/" folder which has the older v4.0.4 copy of the CBC addon. You might try getting the appropriate files from the git source code.

micahg you might be onto something regarding the platform being related to the issue with pauses when streaming TV shows.
Early this afternoon I performed the following test steps.
1. On a Pentium 4 (3.0 GHz) computer running Xubuntu 18.04 I installed kodi using the following commands:
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install kodi
2. Installed the CBC v4.0.6 addon.
3. Enabled Closed Caption parsing.
System (gear icon) > Player settings.
Change Settings level from Standard to Expert
Language > Enable parsing for closed captions.
4. Enabled InputStream.Adaptive.
4. Played "Kim's Convenience: S03 - Elephant in the Room".
Video played first 11 minutes smoothly [A], no pauses.
Closed Captions displayed properly.
5. Enabled FFMPEG in CBC addon configuration options.
6. Resumed playing "Kim's Convenience: S03 - Elephant in the Room".
Video played last 11 minutes smoothly [A], no pauses.
Closed Captions displayed properly.
[A] Observed screen tearing probably because no compositor installed.

QUESTION
Is there a reason why the CBC v4.0.6 addon won't run on Kodi 17.6?
The reason I ask is that I do have InputStream.Adaptive v2.0.20.0 installed on Kodi 17.6 on an RPi. I could try manually installing CBC v4.0.6 on a RPi if that would help with troubleshooting.
