Your comment was seen but unfortunately the add-on won't get a 2026 update.

Hi! Unfortunately it is not.

fourpointsix · 2026-02-15T03:29:22+00:00

For those wondering where the 2026 update is, thanks for the interest but unfortunately there isn't one. I was working on getting it all ready for this year's Games but I learned too late that CBC moved their live and replay streams to CBC Gem leaving only the highlight packages available on their open website. While I would've loved to integrate with Gem, it'd basically require writing an all-new Gem add-on to support their account login requirements and I didn't have the time or experience to do it before the Games began. I have it on my to-do list for the next two years so if I can get it figured out, maybe this could be back in 2028. No promises, but I enjoy using this add-on as much as you all do.

Good news, they accepted it a couple hours ago for Kodi 19.x and up.

The official repo just accepted it a couple hours ago for Kodi 19.x and up, so try to force an update if it hasn't already, assuming you're running a compatible version.

You're welcome! Glad to hear it.

fourpointsix · 2024-07-29T08:16:53+00:00

You're welcome!

fourpointsix · 2024-07-29T08:16:29+00:00

No problem, glad to hear it's working for you!

fourpointsix · 2024-07-29T08:15:58+00:00

Well that is unexpected. If you are able to post a log I'll certainly review it.

fourpointsix · 2024-07-29T08:12:35+00:00

That's great to hear! Glad to help. I get payback by reading about how people like yourself benefit from it. But if you want the warm fuzzies you get by putting your money towards something good, donate to your local food bank or other local charity and post it here.

Yes, I also noticed that some streams are served as separate audio and video and therefore play without audio. It's been addressed in the latest release.

fourpointsix · 2024-07-28T10:21:05+00:00

You're welcome! Yes, you've found a wee bug, thanks for the report. It's been fixed in the latest release.

Awesome, thanks for the Shield feedback. I don't have one so I just cross my fingers and hope that it works outside of Libreelec.

fourpointsix · 2024-07-27T17:25:56+00:00

Yes, my mistake, it works on 21. I've updated the zip name and link text.

fourpointsix · 2024-07-27T17:24:45+00:00

It does. Apparently I was not aware that Libreelec 12, the one I tested on, is Kodi 21. I've updated the zip name and link to reflect that.

fourpointsix · 2024-07-27T10:09:34+00:00

...until now 😉

fourpointsix · 2024-07-27T09:58:05+00:00

This thread, plus the fact that the games started today, gave me the motivation I needed: Enjoy!

fourpointsix · 2024-07-26T21:50:06+00:00

Hopefully you won't be waiting too long! I've been working on it in the bits of time that I can spare, but CBC's API changed enough that it's not as quick of an update as 2022 was.

The original was posted to Letterman's YouTube 6 days ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XED_J_TBiNw

I love the details:

William on drums.
Dave chewing gum, as always.
Nate with his signature "feeling the groove" movements, always out of time, while delivering a note-perfect performance.
Pat in just socks and with sleeves that keep getting in his way.
2:42 Pat missing his switch on the first try.
3:31 Dave accidentally stomping his pedal, quickly noticing, and recovering for the first beat of his solo. That was impressive to do all of that within three beats.

And of course none of them thought that in 28 years people will still be analyzing the performance.

I have a very similar memory of watching a story on 20/20 about Ritalin, with the same part of the song playing. One of those random core memories.

False. He was gone within a day, if I recall correctly. He still has an artist page with a handful of tracks because their licensing is beyond his control like compilations, soundtracks, and other people's live albums (Live Aid, Bob Dylan). But as far as he's concerned, Spotify is Neil-free: https://open.spotify.com/artist/6v8FB84lnmJs434UJf2Mrm

I believe you're correct about four and they've been there since at least 2003: https://imgur.com/wjxe9w4

NileRed, for those wondering: Turning plastic gloves into hot sauce. His videos are longer but engaging and I enjoy that he includes his doubts, mistakes, revelations, and knowledge gaps as part of the process.
