Can you post the link in your posts so others can know where it is and test it as well, thanks

It was a commercial break.  Just compare the addon to the CBC Sports webpage and they should match.  I am seeing the event restarted on the addon.

Ok.  Great.  Let's watch the events for the next week or so and ensure this new parsing method is consistent across other events.

Thanks for posting the link.  I'll eventually publish this to the official Kodi addon repository.

It is now playing the commercial filler break!

Just can't thank you enough for sticking with this, I get the feeling that this could be one of those addons that may need some TLC, hope you will stay on the case.

Thanks again

It was my pleasure.  I am just glad it wasn't more complicated.  I wasn't looking forward to rewriting the full HTML 5 parsing of a webpage.  Those can change all the time and get very messy.  I am going to spend a little time on the original mediaId parsing method to see it is is just something that changed between Python 2.x or 3.x vs. the method I used. 

Update:

After thinking more about this, it isn't a Python 2 vs. 3 issue since this stopped working on the old addon under Kodi 18.  If someone is running Kodi 18 and wants this to work I can show them how to fix it with the new parsing method I created.  This was likely caused by a change at CBC Sports on their webpage.

Posting about this elsewhere, I know a lot of people were looking forward to (especially being able to view CHL hockey and CPL soccer through Kodi), so thanks very much and let's hope there is clear sailing ahead.

Also want to send a definite shout out to MetalChris who gave birth to this addon, and was generous enough to give permission for it to live on.  Thanks MetalChris and Jeff!

Yes, big shout out to MetalChris.  His code was very solid and easy to debug. 

Looking at the code I do see a couple of things.

First, if there is an event which starts at midnight 00:00 it is showing up as :00 in the listing.  You can see an example on 11/29.   I'll take a look at fixing this. 
Second, for some reason he is skipping and not displaying anything which has Hockey Night in the title.  I am not sure why. 

If you want to see a listing click on this link and search for Hockey Night.  I can put them back or make them a setting option in the addon.  Here's a couple as an example:

Yes, anything like Hockey Night should be included, everything possible should be included.

I posted an update which fixes the time for 00:00, took out the Hockey Night exception and did a check to ensure each event wasn't just a TV only event (i.e. not on the web).  We'll need to see how the Hockey Night events work.  I am seeing another issue now where I need to add some error checking for playing live events.  The code doesn't really check to see if the stream actually exists before trying to play thus if you click on events before they are ready you get various error messages.  I'll try to clean that up tonight when I have some time.

Ok, I had some spare time and added full error checking for Live Schedule streams which aren't ready yet for one reason or another.  You will now see two different error messages depending on what comes back from the CBC Sports website.

Error Messages

Stream Not Available Yet  -  CBC either hasn't posted the URL yet in their Live Schedule listing or the one they posted is invalid and doesn't yet contain the stream information.
This Event Stream Hasn't Started.  Please check back later.  -  CBC has posted the URL and good stream information but the event hasn't been started yet.


Please download the latest version 0.0.991 and let me know your testing results.  For those keeping score, there are now 89 items in the Live Schedule list.

Thanks.  if you click on future Live Schedule events you should get either a video stream or one of the error messages above.  You shouldn't get a Kodi error which says check the logs.

Clicked on 2021 Skate Ontario Sectional Series September Hub Event on CBC: DAY 3 and
