Req SkyShowtime video add-on
#1
Would be great if someone could develop a video add-on for the new SkyShowtime streaming service which has been launched in Europe recently:

@Ismadder1 I am aware of @matthuisman 's capabilities Smile I'm already using his Disney+ and HBO Max addons and they work brilliantly.

Unfortunately I'm sharing my SkyShowtiime account with someone else, so I'm not too comfortable sharing it right now.

Hello!  I have made the concept frame for the SkyShowtime addon. You can download it from HERE. For now only list categories and shows basic metadata. No Login, No Play, No other functionalities... Before or After installing the ZIP, you must edit in text editor addon.py and between 33 & 41 row, set your country code and location. Save it and then listing will work for you if SkyShowtime is available in your area. I would appreciate your help to add the Login and Play functions.

@Majide Unfortunately I'm not a Python developer. But maybe you can take a look at how things are implemented in the Sly Guy addons:

This would be fantastic, their app is horrendous and in my firestick I can't see anything because it comms to the upper left quarter of the video on my 4k tv. It works well on the fhd one, though.
I don't think it will be that easy though, at the moment streaming is restricted even in Linux Chrome. It doesn't work.
I can't edit the post but it probably works in Chromebooks as Peacock service so it can work just like other addons.

Hi, is any progress with addon for SkyShowTime? This service is coming to my country next month too, so it would be great to have an addon.

You may be waiting for quite some time... Sky is one of those companies that issued takedowns of other video add-ons as well as for skins that looked "too familiar".

hi.

Then there is no hope?

Correct.

If I understand correctly, the problem in creating a SkyShowtime addon is that certain requests require a signature to be sent in the header, and this signature needs to be generated from an unknown private key. More information on this can be found in this thread. I tried using the key mentioned there, but it didn't work. I guess that SkyShowtime uses a different key (or that I misunderstood the algorithm).

it uses cmac signatures - https://cryptography.io/en/latest/hazmat...s/mac/cmac
peacock uses sky for their content delivery is why they look similar

I think it could be a good deal if the addon from Majide that is https:/ [removed] could be completed with login capabilities and when selecting play, the movie then is send to be played by the skyshowtime android app (or the website with a browser on a pc), as it does the justwatch app that doesn't play videos internally.

Please, can someone give it a try? Thank you so much in advance.
