learningit! You Rock!!
Thanks for taking the time to look into this and for fixing the add-on.
It is hugely appreciated!

Hey! Thanks for all your hard work. I just installed this add-on and I'm having a problem watching The Agenda with Steve Paikin, but other shows I've tried seem to work fine. Trying to select The Agenda is giving me a NoneType error. It looks like The Agenda has been a problem in the past too, huh?

Noticed yesterday that the TVO add-on has stopped working. Is anyone else having a problem with it not working?

[kodaksmith]

I confirm that the TV Ontario addon is no longer working.

I can view the alphabet list of letters, but I am unable to view the listing of TV shows that normally are shown under each letter.

[kodaksmith]

I've been able to get this addon partially working with the following changes shown at the link below:

Patch file for plugin.video.tvo/resources/lib/scraper.py - Newer patch available in later post.

These changes allow for listing TV shows under the A-Z# letter headings, but only permit playing shows that have episodes listed under the show (e.g., A -> Amazing World of Gravity, The).  Single shows still do not work (e.g., A -> A Better Man will produce an error).

Today I was able get this addon fully mostly working with the following changes to v3.0.8 shown at the link below:

Patch file for plugin.video.tvo/resources/lib/scraper.py - Newer patch available in later post.

The addon maintainer is welcome to include these changes as if they were his/her own.  I do not seek credit for these changes.

After noticing that TVO video series were still missing the description and thumbnail I now have this almost fully working (still no thumbnails for video series) with the following changes to v3.0.8 shown at the link below:

Patch file for plugin.video.tvo/resources/lib/scraper.py

EDIT:  See also post #48 for a complete scraper.py replacement file.

Thanks to @learningit for the TVO add-on.  He/she is welcome to include these changes as if they were his/her own.  I do not seek credit for these changes.

Hey kodaksmith!
Finally got around to trying your fix and it looks like everything is working again. I'm seeing a few odd episode lists but the TVO Addon is working.
Thanks for taking the time to look into this and for the code to fix it. Awesome!

[kodaksmith]

Thanks @sainte for confirming the patch file works for you.  I think I have made all the fixes that I can think of for the add-on.  If you have more specifics about the "few odd episode lists" then feel free to mention what they are.  As it stands, the TVO add-on with the patch file lists and plays all of the videos that I tested.

Hi Guys

First post here, been playing with Kodi for a year and am looking to begin creating addons.  Have a fair amount of reading ahead of me.  In the meantime, I'd like to get TVO going but am not sure what to do with the patch file, can I get some help with it.  Just need to know where it goes.  Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

My mistake. There's no problem with the episode lists. I took a look at the "few odd episode lists" on TVO's website and what they have listed matches up perfectly with what is displayed in the add-on. TVO has titled them in a way that looks odd. "City Wildlife Rescue" and "Arctic Secrets" were two that I thought looked odd.
Aside from that, all the videos I have tried are playing as expected.

Thank you.

> I'd like to get TVO going but am not sure what to do with the patch file, can I get some help with it.

An internet search for "how to apply a patch file" along with the name of your operating system should lead to many examples.

For example, here is a link to How to Apply a Patch for Moodle Software.

The basic steps on GNU/Linux are:

1. Download the patch and save it as patch.diff
    To Download I highlighted all the lines in the HasteBin web page excluding the line numbers,
    copied and pasted into a text editor and saved the file.
2. Change to the directory containing the add-on (e.g., .kodi/addons/)
3. Apply the patch with: patch -p1 < patch.diff

Note that these steps assume you have the TVO v3.0.8 addon already installed.

I am using libreelec 9.0.2 and am not sure how to go about applying your patch file. I have installed the most current TV Ontario addon but under my addon_data folder I can't see the plugin.video.tvo file.

On my Raspberry Pi with LibreELEC the home directory is /storage/ and the directory containing the plugin is:
/storage/.kodi/addons/plugin.video.tvo/

Note that the most recent patch file is in post #37 in this thread.  I will edit the prior posts to make this more obvious.

I was able to find my plugin.video.tvo/resources/lib on my Intel htpc but I am not able to see the same file on my network using Ubuntu. I assume that I would be doing the patching from my Ubuntu system.
