I'm not exactly sure how to go about that, I have a paypal account but I'm not a big fan of using it.

Since we're all Canadian's, I think most of us have access to interac email transfers, feel free to send them this way if you like. I'm open to suggestions for a better way to handle it, but I'm not expecting a big enough response to warrant dealing with paypal

Haven't tried it out yet but I'm really really looking forward to the release of the Canada On Demand plugin with CBC. I usually download tv, but some shows in Canada are too hard to find (like Dragon's Den) yet are offered for legitimate streaming.

I thank you so much for working on this!

I'm a developer but suck at Python, so not terribly helpful on the plugin side, but if help is needed I can dig around how to get videos from various sites.

It does sound like you guys have this well under control, so thank you again. I'll donate if you put up a paypal donation account or something. This is something I'm really really interested in using!

This plugin is amazing, thanks for the work you did on it!

Was hgtv excluded because it works differently than the other channels and can't be implemented in the same way, or do you have plans to add it in later?

[andre_pl]

HGTV is implemented in 0.0.3+ of the CanadaOnDemand plugin.

The Canada On Demand plugin is completely ready for use and its available in the repository (make sure you're getting 0.0.5 or better). I'm just too busy to do an official release right now, I highly encourage you to use it, I'll probably put some warnings in the CTV Plugin to inform people to install the new one as I don't plan to maintain it anymore.

Edit: Also, I've been watching dragon's den with it all morning

There is now a donation link in the first post of this thread.

here it is again

Hey andre_pl,

Thanks for the addon.
Its great

All CTV streams working but canwest has geoblocking
From xbmc.log:

<url>http://webdata.globaltv.com/global/canwestPlayer/swf/4.1/Unavailable.flv</url><title>Unavailable</title><description>You are not in a geographic region that has access to this content.

Any chance you could implement a proxy addon setting like in the nickelodeon addon from nixa?
It works well

Thanks!

Where can I find that nickelodeon plugin? it's not in the official repo. if you can send me a link I'll take a look and try to implement it tonight.

Hey andre_pl, great work. Lots of canadian sites. But I'm having a bit problem with the links not working 100% of the time.. I noticed from the xbmc.log that when it's failing to play, it's using rtmpe:// like this:

rtmpe://cp45879.edgefcs.net/ondemand?ovpfv=2.1.4&auth=dbEcsaTcycec_dScPb7apamcXbgcgbVdidd-bnEvJM-eS-iYG-wuJ3rnHCq&aifp=v001&slist=/s_!tsn/2011/03/10/ playpath=mp4_!tsn/2011/03/10/bettman1_031011.mp4 swfurl=http://watch.tsn.ca/Flash/player.swf?themeURL=http://watch.ctv.ca/themes/TSN/player/theme.aspx

That is failing to play with this error (from the log):
17:04:21 T:4712 M:1635622912 WARNING: HandShake: Type mismatch: client sent 6, server answered 9
17:04:21 T:4712 M:1635622912 WARNING: HandShake: Server not genuine Adobe!
17:04:21 T:4712 M:1635622912 ERROR: RTMP_Connect1, handshake failed.


When I put that in an .strm file I get the same thing. But if I change the rtmpe:// to rtmp:// in my strm file, it plays fine.

I noticed this problem on some ctv links, tsn links, and global links.

Have you noticed the same? If not, maybe it's just me.

Yes, I'm working on a fix now that addresses the canwest sites, but with CTV, TSN Etc. they almost always give us an rtmpe url, but usually an rtmp url will work better, other times not at all... unfortunately I can't tell when to use the rtmpe in those cases

[renaudtrudel]

A couple more rtmp:// handling "fixes" ready to submit for Canwest/Global channels (no magic resolutions though ;-)
I think Andre will up-version soon in the repo for some rtmp fixes to prop out.

In the meantime, when posting issues with rtmp:// can you include the XBMC version you are running, as well as which OS?
There are significant differences, and although I don't know the details, 10.1 has some rtmp-related fixes for Windows, for example:

fixed rtmp streams playback in Windows (ticket #10920)
