Steps to Update HGTV Canada video add-on
The following steps assume that you have the
HGTV Canada 3.0.3 video add-on already installed on your Kodi computer.
- Create a replacement plugin.video.hgtv.canada/resources/lib/scraper.py file using the file contents listed lower in this post.
IMPORTANT: Use pop-up COPY button. When copying the code below be sure to move the mouse pointer over the code and click the pop-up COPY button in the upper right-hand corner of the code section. This will ensure that invisible URL encoded space characters (percent-two-zero, or %20) are copied to the clipboard.
For example, open a text editor, copy the scraper.py file contents listed below, paste into text editor, save the file with name scraper.py, and exit the text editor.
- Determine the location of the Kodi addons folder where plugin.video.hgtv.canada is installed on your Kodi computer.
For example:
- /storage/.kodi/addons/plugin.video.hgtv.canada/ for LibreELEC on Raspberry Pi.
- ~/.kodi/addons/plugin.video.hgtv.canada/ for Kodi on Ubuntu where ~ is your home directory.
Note that the location of the addons folder should be similar to the userdata folder.
- Copy the new scraper.py file over top of the existing plugin.video.hgtv.canada/resources/lib/scraper.py file.
For example on a Raspberry Pi with LibreELEC 8.2.5 installed I used the following command:
scp -p scraper.py [email protected]:/storage/.kodi/addons/plugin.video.hgtv.canada/resources/lib/
Note that you would need to substitute the IP address for your Raspberry Pi (see System -> System Info).
'Hope that helps.
