Try deleting crunchycookie.lwp from /userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.crunchyroll/ and see if that makes a difference. If it still does it I can try looking into it, but I'm not a premium member so debugging these sorts of things is difficult.

That solved the problem! Cheers! But I am sort of curious why restarting XBMC for example did not trigger the creation of a new cookie on its own...

hey I just installed this plugin it works awesome for displaying the crunchy roll content.
I recently joined crunchy rolls premium site to try out their new android app. So I have access to the 720p streams, but 720p is not working in your plugin just wondering if you can look into this, that would be awesome I'd be willing to help out with any information you need to make this plugin better too thanks. 480p does work though.
Also on the series bleach and naruto I get weird subtitles the other shows seem fine I tried changing xbmcs subtitle settings but it didn't fix it.
I've thought about downloading boxee cause I read theres support for it. But, I really like xbmc and its what I use for watching all my shows it would be an inconvenience to switch to another app. I really do believe it plays videos the best as well.

I don't have a premium account, so I can't really make fixes to the 720p content. It did work awhile back, but I think Crunchyroll made a switch to how their playlists are formatted and it may have broken the HD versions.
As for the handshake error, there's really nothing I can do about that. It seems many CDNs recently upgraded their Flash Media Server software, which caused an updated version of the rtmpe protocol to be implemented. This is something that's handled by XBMC/libRTMP, not my plugin, so it's really out of my control. It's affecting a lot of other plugins as well (BlueCop's plugins in specific) and it sucks.
I've noticed the weird font thing as well... I'd have to look at the decrypted subtitles to figure out what font it's looking for.

Wondering if you guys might be able to help me troubleshoot. I was able to install the add-on, added the other items as required and am able to look around in crunchyroll but unable to play any videos (not premium).
Just choosing one at random that allows non-premium viewing results in the these two log entries:

Everything else looks good, got the subtitles etc all good but then I get the above.
On an ATV2. Not sure what next?

Afaik they still use the new and unsupported media servers for their content on Crunchyroll and various other sites.
Until this is implemented in rtmpdump you can only browse crunchyroll but not play anything.
As a suggestion: Boxee is a spin-off from XBMC and currently does support Crunchyroll content (as it uses Flash to play the videos)

Boxee does not work on ATV G2, so good suggestion if you have a G1 device but unfortunately I don't.
I thought from the previous discussions it looked like the 360p stuff worked, it was just the premium anime that had issues. Did something happen between the last successful post attempt and now at crunchroll to change how they serve?

Crunchyroll and other video providers (I think Hulu and Youtube as well, for example) use Adobe server software to handle the video distribution.
This software has seen a new release and with it, a new protocol version between client and server is deployed. Unfortunately, this new "handshake 9" has not been reverse engineered into the open-source version of the client.
As such, only servers running the old software still work with XBMC. And it seems more and more sites migrate to the new server versions.
So long story short, video streaming from many websites is broken and will remain so until the good folks at mplayer manage to implement the new protocol.

Ahh, understood. I saw crunchyroll had posted on reddit a week or so ago and regained a bit of interest. Until I can stream it to my tv through atv2 or ps3 I cannot justify the purchase.
Hopefully someone figures something out on this.
Thanks again!

repository says vbs.tv broken on ATV2, any chance this will be looked into? Would love this amazing content, don't care about CR or the others. Great work bro
