@steveottawa I do not have the ".zip" file used for installing the CBC v4.0.4 addon.  I only have a backup of my entire Raspberry Pi microSD card.  Using this I have been restoring the "~/.kodi/addons/plugin.video.cbc/" folder which has the older v4.0.4 copy of the CBC addon.  You might try getting the appropriate files from the git source code.

@micahg you might be onto something regarding the platform being related to the issue with pauses when streaming TV shows.

Early this afternoon I performed the following test steps.

1. On a Pentium 4 (3.0 GHz) computer running Xubuntu 18.04 I installed kodi using the following commands:

    sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install kodi

2. Installed the CBC v4.0.6 addon.

3. Enabled Closed Caption parsing.
     System (gear icon) > Player settings.
     Change Settings level from Standard to Expert
     Language > Enable parsing for closed captions.

4. Enabled InputStream.Adaptive.

4. Played "Kim's Convenience: S03 - Elephant in the Room".
   Video played first 11 minutes smoothly [A], no pauses.
   Closed Captions displayed properly.

5. Enabled FFMPEG in CBC addon configuration options.

6. Resumed playing "Kim's Convenience: S03 - Elephant in the Room".
   Video played last 11 minutes smoothly [A], no pauses.
   Closed Captions displayed properly.

[A] Observed screen tearing probably because no compositor installed.

QUESTION

Is there a reason why the CBC v4.0.6 addon won't run on Kodi 17.6?

The reason I ask is that I do have InputStream.Adaptive v2.0.20.0 installed on Kodi 17.6 on an RPi.  I could try manually installing CBC v4.0.6 on a RPi if that would help with troubleshooting.
