There was already built addon which was https://github.com/hojel/xbmc-korea-addo...r/download

But, due to the recent web design change it's not working any more.

Before recent web design change for which I modified a bit for kodi 19.4 English menu https://drive.google.com/file/d/1juV3ZRe...jACsc/view

I tried to contact the author of last ondemandkorea addon which was 0.72 which was written for kodi 18, but unsuccessful for 11 month.

When running addon it gives a this error mesg

It seems like directory of episode being changed due to new design, but I don't have any clue since I don't have any knowledge about python or how to scrap,etc

But, it seems like easy fix if you know how to scrap

If somebody could take a look at it I would really appreciate it.

Thank you

I guess there is no one to save my soul from their awful smart tv apps

Have not looked at code, just the errors.

The failing line seems to be using a Regex with patter containing parenthesis , but those should be escaped I would think.

In the code you might want to try changing :

epinfo_tmpl = re.search("setPageDataUrl('([^']*)')", r.text).group(1)

to

epinfo_tmpl = re.search("setPageDataUrl\('([^']*)'\)", r.text).group(1)

(basically adding the escape character "\" in front of the outer parenthesis.

No guarantees, but I would think this would fix that particular line of code.

EDIT: I just peeked at code and it is correctly escaped, I guess the logs un-escape. So this is not the right fix, sorry.

nope the back slash you were saying is already inside of code, just not showing in log because it's in Korean language backslash which is as won sign, but thanks for help though

The error in the exception is due to re.search didn't match anything and returned a "None" object.  You will have to figure out why.   Probably when they redid the site many things changed.  Scraping web sites is something of an art IMO.

since no one seems to work with plug-in request I'm going to close down good drive access today.
