UKTV Play doesn't play any catchup TV

[BugfinderPro135]

I'm using V0.2.40 beta10 and now it won't play any UKTV Play catch-up programmes.

I'm guessing it's to do with the recent re-branding and name change at the start of the month?

Would it be possible to store all the old beta versions in the repo alongside the latest version so that if the new release breaks one of the channels, then at least we can make good and choose a version that did work?

Some urls have changed and they way the palyerID/accountID values have been hidden away and i can't work out how to get them programmatically. This hack works for me - hardcoding the values - not sure if it will work for you and for how long
uktvplay.txt
download this
rename it to uktvplay.py
overwrite the existing uktvplay.py in Kodi/addons/plugin.video.catchuptvandmore/resources/lib/channels/uk

@nictjir your fix worked for me. Many thanks

This worked for me on my Kodi 21.0.1 and kodi 20.5...

I was unable to try it on my Android TV devices (DQ06 and DQ10) as the firmware seems crippled to not allow permissions in ES File Explorer to even see the file or file location to be overwritten.

V0.2.40 beta12 was recently released and it seems they forgot to update this file...it beggars belief doesn't it...

This was not a real fix - just a hack to manually add the required bits of info that are needed based on values that are now and working. It still needs some way of finding these values from the site.

But at least this hack worked and still works perfectly - the released version doesn't...(It''s still trying to use the old uktvplay website instead of the 'u' website for goodness sake)

just tried the hack on my nvidia shield with kodi 21.1 but I get KeyError 'com.widevine.alpha'

any advice? note that input stream adaptive and input stream helper seem to be installed fine with their default settings
