Kodi 18.x LEIA Prerequisites:
 

• Video add-on Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) version 4.0.6 for Kodi 18 Leia is installed.
  
• This video add-on is configured with a valid CBC Username and Password.
  

Patch steps follow:
 

1. Download and install new dependency plugin library script.module.routing.
   
   
2. Create replacement files for the following:
    
   • default.py
     
   • strings.po
     
   • cbc.py
     
   • livechannels.py
     
   • utils.py
     
   
   For example for each file: open file link above, open a text editor, copy the file link contents, paste into text editor, save the file with above listed filename, and exit the text editor.
   
   
3. Determine the location of the Kodi addons folder where plugin.video.cbc is installed on your Kodi computer.
   
   For example:
    
   • /storage/.kodi/addons/plugin.video.cbc/ for LibreELEC on Raspberry Pi.
     
   • ~/.kodi/addons/plugin.video.cbc/ for Kodi on Ubuntu where ~ is your home directory.
     
   
   Note that the location of the addons folder should be similar to the userdata folder.
   
   
4. Copy the new files over top of the existing kodi files.
   
   For example on a Raspberry Pi with LibreELEC 9.2.8 installed I used the following commands:
   
   scp -p default.py [email protected]:/storage/.kodi/addons/plugin.video.cbc/
   
   scp -p strings.po [email protected]:/storage/.kodi/addons/plugin.video.cbc/resources/language/resource.language.en_gb/
   
   scp -p cbc.py livechannels.py utils.py [email protected]:/storage/.kodi/addons/plugin.video.cbc/resources/lib/
   
   Note that you would need to substitute the IP address for your Raspberry Pi (see System -> System Info).
