Very good point on the ability to select resolution. I'll look into it.

Hey if anyone is having trouble logging in make sure your email doesn't have a space in the end. If you are unsure about this you can edit your username and password entry in the settings.xml file in ~/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.curiositystream
the space after your email address won't let you login.
by the way, thank you so much for making this addon. It's a shame they don't develop one themselves. Also is it possible to code the addon such that when I 'send to kodi' from the curiosity stream app on android it will open that video on the addon? I'll see what I can contribute though im kind of a noob with python and kodi addons.

Even when I log in I still only get 2 minutes. I've turned on debug logging but don't know enough to see if the problem can be identified there. There's no obvious login errors that I can see.
I've set the username and password manually in C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\userdata\addon_data\plugin.video.curiositystream\settings.xml.
I've even set the default in C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\addons\plugin.video.curiositystream-master\resources\settings.xml
There's no errors, but I never get more than 2 minutes.
Any pointers?

gshcarter: It is working here. Double check your username and password. It is difficult to say if it is correct or not, since the plugin does not report if login is succesfull or not. I was in a similar situation, but once I finally got the username and password correct, and restarted kodi, it just started working.
Bear in mind curiositystream has a maximum log in lockout time. I think it only 30 minutes, however. Wait a while (if you think you might have tried to log in too many times). It happened to me, since 1st) I had forgotten my password and 2) messing around with KODI.

Hello,
The curiositystream add-on used to work perfectly. I am running latest Kodi on Libreelec.
Suddenly it only produces an error, and it wont work.
What could be the problem?
I have tried to uninstall it and reinstall it all again, without any luck.
How do I copy and paste the log file so you can see what is wrong with it?
Thank you so much,
Warcious

Looks like curiositystream.com changed the way authentication is done. I'm looking at the code and hope to put out an update some time this week.

I've updated the addon to fix the authentication which was changed by curiositystream.com. I'll probably slowly work on it to improve it. Let me know if it still doesn't work for you. I've tested it only against Kodi 16.1 (running on Windows) so far. I'll also try it on Kodi on my Raspberry pi tomorrow and report back.
Download from the same location (see first post)
Future ideas for feature update:
- option to set maximum bandwidth
- option to play from your watchlist
- option to browse the sub-categories (right now it list all videos under a given category and that makes it slow).
I'm open to any other ideas.

thanks for the update. I tried the new version on 17.4 with a similar issue . I think its related to kodi 17.x as I have tested on 16.1 and it works fine. .
Traversing through categories is ok. There seems to be a timeout when playing with the message
"playback failed
One or more items failed to play. Check the log for more information about this message" . But on the odd occasion it will work
