What i do to get the file is to select the "Files changed" section of the PR. Then for each file click the three dots "..." menu on the far right of the file name header and choose "View file". Then copy and paste the contents into a new file with the same name as the header. Then copy each file into the appropriate add-on directory on your Kodi box.

I was able to figure that part out and do it like you posted, but I ran into another issue where the addon was disabled/disappeared. You've got me on the right track and I'll play with it some more and if worse comes to worse, I can wait until the Kodo repo is updated. It's good to learn another method of doing things. Really appreciate the help for me and others reading this. Can what you guys have learned about the CBC site be applied to the CBC Sports addon? The links don't seem to be functioning now but aside from the Live Schedule it worked well in the past.

Hey, thanks for everything guys. Your quick hints helped me to figure out a little more about GitHub on my own. The newb doesn't know too much about PRs and navigating GitHub etc so hopefully others learned something as well from your posts.

Hey gang, was wondering if the latest fix is pushed to the CBC plugin yet? When I click on "update" it still stays on the same version.

I believe I have Kodi 18.7, however, I thought 3.0.5 was the version with my changes and after awhile there were breakages which barney63 fixed. I am looking for the 3.0.6 version. Is that not ready yet?

The CBC News Network disappeared from the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. add on a few days ago.
I am running Kodi version 18.1 on a GooBangDoo Android box.
This Channel has "disappeared" previously, but is usual back in a couple of days.
The Network has been "free" to access since the start of covid-19. Given the pandemic is still here, I'm wondering why the channel has disappeared in the add ob.
