Simon,
you have to get the CanadaOnDemand plugin, not update the CTV plugin. vtélé won't be an easy one, as it's based on the Brightcove platform for video distribution. From my initial googling on the topic, there are lock-in issues with Brightcove-served videos. The bright side is that if/when we can figure it out, a whole new bunch of channels use the system and can be added en-masse.
We should probably start a new thread for CoD at this point, to avoid confusion?

Hi Andre,
Again thanks for this great addon. I am not sure if someone asked before, but I was wondering if it is possible to add playlist management to this addons. It would be nice to be able to play all the part of a video in once using a playlist instead of having to play it one by one.
Of course if depend on the way you retrieve the video URLs.
Anyways, I just wanted to check that with you if it is doable or not.

The development of this add-on is progressing like wildfire. The new additions are unbelievable, thanks again to everyone working at this (I really wish I had any programming skills to help out). Having local news is awesome.
Just a question, I noticed that in 0.1.9 Muchmusic is no longer part of the plugin. Is this temporary or permanent? (assuming likely removed due to conflicts with other new channels added?). Would love to see it return.
Also, a quick thought for a feature, should Muchmusic return, would it be viable or even possible to add a shuffle function to the music videos to provide a video jukebox type experience? (I would gather this would be only a dream until such time as playlists as discussed above are implemented so that a 'random' playlist could be generated.)
Thanks again, and keep up the good work. XBMC is quickly becoming a viable cable alternative for Canadians as a result of your efforts. As always much appreciated.
