I am seeing the same error in cbs.py, the TypeError: argument 1 must be unicode
or str error. I tried to debug the cbs.py script but could not find the
problem. The JSON object returned appears to have the correct label/value
combinations and the correct types, but xbmc is not happy. I can iterate
through the list returned, but trying to pass the values into addDirectory
fails, and/or the for list iteration fails (Python does not appear to be very
good about pointing to the correct line number on errors).

I am seeing the same issue as well, seems to happen on CBS and USA Network when
you try to get the episodes for a show:

Here is the fix for the CBS channel:
Edit line 226 and change the value for int(video['duration']) to
str(video['duration']) .
This worked for me.

Btw this is more a hack as the value should be integer. This will display the
duration of the clip as a full string instead.

Excellent michaeln... that change to line 226 cbs.py fixes the problem. I
believe that error is being returned by the XBMC code which for some reason
does not believe those integers are in fact integers.

Yeah for some reason python doesn't see that integer as an integer, seen this
issue on a few other add-ons today.
