Hi,

I can see that you have skills with webdriver in python. I'm working on a new addon but I'm a little bit lost. The website I want to propose is Mycanal.fr.

Could you help me a little with it?

Thanks for your answer

Unfortunately everything I tried to do with webdriver / chrome ended up very slow and unreliable due to the python model in Kodi where every action requires the script start from scratch; there's no real background threads/data/actions.

They were also really bad to use the website isn't set up for keyboard navigation, required switching to keyboard and mouse.

The only add-ons I've used that are worthwhile all reverse engineer the website's API by watching the network activity in the chrome inspector when using the website then replicating that in code. That's assuming they can find the video stream in a format that Kodi can play.

I haven't really done any of this though since this plugin stopped working due to Netflix API changes and I couldn't fix it.

Thanks you for your response, without going so far, I'm blocked on a website, do you agree to just see with me how we can do? I'm using inputstream.adaptive for DRM problems but now I want to find the right way to the stream.
