While a XFinity addon would be useful for some people, it would only work for those with a comcast account and you are limited to the channels you are subscribed to. Therefore it would have a different userbase than freecable and wouldn't negate the need to keep it working.
Also having a very quick look at this, it seems that a lot of the content on xfinity is sourced from hulu where available, and where it's not drm is used.
The hulu addon is already there for shows on hulu, and anything with drm is near on impossible to play with xbmc.

Ok, I've searched and searched, but I cannot find .py files on my openelec build. Can someone help me out?
Where do I browse to swap out these files?

Found it under another repo.
Thanks

Thanks, Found that. I see that it says Disney isn't finished, so I'll wait on that one. I think the only one that isn't working is ABC bring up the list of shows but errors out on trying to play it.

Yep, ABC is more or less not working, the fix on here works in RSS mode but not with newer episodes. A few of us are workig on that, can get clips but not episodes. If we can get ABC working, we'll have a fair chance of Disney.

I'm guessing from what I can see in the log that you're not in the US, how are you dealing which the geo blocking? Are you using the same method on all environments.
Looks like that log was for Nick, never worked for me.
I've just gotten NickToons and NickTeen working.
Try adding the followig to _common.py after the existing req.add_header line (~line 730)
req.add_header('X-Forwarded-For','12.13.14.15')
I'll tidy this up later.

I use FreeCable 99% of the time for Nickelodeon shows (the website where the streams come from does not geoblock from what I can tell). But I tried several other channels/shows and had the same result. You are right though, on my Pivos I'm over riding my URL using tunlr.net which I'm not doing on my other devices so that is one difference. But didn't have issues with FreeCable previously, only after uninstalling and reinstalling XBMC from a clean slate. Will see if I can insert the same change into the myResolv.conf file when I'm home.
What does the change you've noted above do?

... next dumb Q, when you say "after the existing req.add_header line", there are a couple in the same section. The first one shows up in the "def getURL" section:
if referer:
req.add_header('Referer', referer)
req.add_header('User-Agent', 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.7; rv:14.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/14.0.1')
The second shows up in the next section "def getRedirect":
if referer:
req.add_header('Referer', referer)
req.add_header('User-Agent', 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.7; rv:14.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/14.0.1')
response = urllib2.urlopen(req)
Just want to make sure I'm putting it in the right place!
Thanks!
