Error Contents: list index out of range on Star Trek TNG

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Go to CBS in the Free Cable plugin
2. Go to Classic
3. Go to Star Trek the Next Generation
4. Click on any episode

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
When it should play the episode, instead you get a plugin failed message at the 
bottom of the screen.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
XBMC 10.1 from the xbmc-team Maverick Repo on Ubuntu Natty x86-32 bit
librtmp from git source (updated 2-19-2012)

Please provide any additional information below.
This is probably related to issue #29 (the same error, but for the daily show)

Sorry, missed a step.  After you go to TNG, you need to go to "Most Popular"

OK, I did some poking around and found that astronut's comment on issue #29 was 
correct.  They've changed the way they are embedding the video URL in the web 
page.  A little more investigation shows that now they're using JSON.

I wanted to do this the cleanest possible way so I was going to use regex to 
pull out the whole json string and use json.loads to turn it into an object but 
their json doesn't follow the spec; field names aren't quoted and the python 
json interpreter chokes on the data.

I don't actually know python so instead of going through a bunch of trouble I 
just came up with this substitute for line 430 in the file:

url = re.compile("flowplayer\\('flow_player', '.*?', 
{clip:{\n\s+url:\s+'(.*?)'").findall(data)[0]

Note the above fix fixes TNG, but not the Original Series.  Haven't test the 
others yet.

Apparently the Original Series doesn't use flowplayer at all.
