It's such a pain to work with XML in python, isn't it json is the easiest, in my opinion. Especially when dealing with string encoding.

Yeah unfortunately I haven't written a JSON parser for the settings system/library yet (which is somewhere on my long TODO list).

Edit: I hope it's ok to use requests rather than urllib2, it's just easier to manage all around.

Feel free to use whatever you want. The way I write this add-on is to google "python get current time", take the first code snippet and then I google "python http request" and so on. I'm sure there are a lot of "who wrote this piece of s**t code" moments in there for anyone with a bit of python coding experience.

@ Montellese Can you kick a new build of Kodi that matches the improvements that you have made to the plugin since the build above.

I noticed an annoying bug in the settings handling (which makes it unusable) which I want to fix and then I can provide another build.
