Just wondered if anyone else is having problems tonight with the Childhood's End listings. For one thing it displays wrong ("Childhood& #039;s End" without the space between the & and the # - I assume & #039; is some kine of code for an apostrophe) but that's not the real problem, the problem is that when you click on that it's popping up some kind of error message. It worked last night and the night before but not tonight, so I wondered if anyone else is seeing that error now or if it's just me. I'm running Kodi 15.2 (Isengard).

The website had some errors in the html which have been fixed now. You need to close the addon, go into the addon settings, click on 'Reset Metadata Cache' then click 'OK'. Start the addon again and it will rebuild the correct metadata - should fix both problems you mention.

One of my favorite Arthur C. Clarke novels, hope they don't screw it up.

Thanks much, that did the trick! You just saved my evening! Smile

This add-on got updated and then marked as broken. How can I, or someone, fix it so that it works on Kodi v14.2 on Apple TV 2. Thanks

The latest version requires 15.2 or higher.

Is there anyway to get this add-on to work on an Android box, none of the links will play.
The SyFy add-on was installed from the Kodi repository
I am using Kodi 15.2 Minix Edition if that is a concern, anyway to check if the ssl is enabled ?

Everything starts with a debug log. Enable verbose logging for ffmpeg and libcURL.
My guess is that you are outside the US and haven't read the forum support thread carefully.

Everything was working fine with the syfy app up until yesterday. i was on 15.2 (isendard) and it would not start the app. I upgraded to jarvis 16.0 and it still would not start the syfy app.. It starts to initialize then pops up an error to read the logs

Confused

Here is the error i can see in the logs for the syfy error but cant understand what it is doing.. Any assistance would be helpful. I went back to Isengard.

V2.0.3 in my git:
https://github.com/learningit/plugin.video.syfy

Fix for unicode errors

If you have installed my test repo:
https://github.com/learningit/repository...odi_addons

You should get an "auto-update" or "update available" message, depending on your "auto-update" setting. You may need to do a "Check for updates" to see the new version.

A Pull Request has been made for the kodi.org repo, it should update within a few days.

Is Syfy still working for anyone at the moment?

It is working for me.

Can't seem to get this addon to work. Installed 2.0.3 on Kodi 15.2, and the addon launches, but it just goes to my video folder.
I never get to the syfy listings. Anybody else seeing this problem?

I do see an issue with the addon on Android, but it works fine under Windows. I don't know why because the addon isn't using anything platform specific.
I'll look into this over the weekend.

Different python version?
