Release v2.1.2

Fixes error message about decode key not being able to be found. This was introduced by a change from stripchat adding more PSCH key lines to the m3u8 files. The decoding key did not change.

Closes kodi fully before updating or after updating as the addon so the changed proxy code is running.

Release v2.1.1

• Fixes display of online status in favorites list, instead of displaying "DEL" status for all cams
• Functions reading attributes from json data handle missing attributes more flexible

Release v2.1.0

• Implementing auto decode key fetch vom Stripchat for decoding scrambled plalist file urls (added by SC in late August '25)
• Will fetch key if key is missing in settings or decode failed. Manual setting still available.
• Internal network tweaking and more browser-like behavior
• Setting for timeshift added using ffmpegdirect (see settings in ffmpegdirect addon for more settings)
• Cleaner logs and handle network error more gracefully

Release v2.0.2

• Network settings tweaked to keep connections alive. Will heavily reduce open connections on longer use and should keep performance up
• Stream settings: added option to use the variants playlist from Stripchat instead of best quality only. Can act as a fallback, if other playlist is not available and uses less bandwidth for lower resolutions (no option to chose from atm)

Release v2.0.1

Minor update: Added option to select the CDN from where the streams are delivered from, see "Other" in addon settings. This may reduce network issues for some (.net set as default)

Release v2.0.0

2.0.0 Update

• Major cleanup of code
• Integrating a proxy system to decrypt/deobfuscate playlist URLs after latest changes from Stripchat
• Option to use external proxy in your network (see my other repositories for one)
• Changes demand to enter a decode key in settings, otherwise no playback possible
• Option to enable timeshift for playback (see FFmpegDirect addon settings for path an duration settings)
• Overall better performance (time to playback)
• Removal of deprecated functions

Many things have changed, so expect possible bugs that got overlooked besides heavy testing.

Feel free to make suggestions in the issues.

I recommend installing this version from scratch, deleting old addon and settings (backup your favourites first!). After install, enter decode key, set favourites path, restore favourites and you are ready to go. Simple updating over installed version should work fine, though, just take a look at the new options.

The decode key needs to be obtained by yourself! Time will tell how other stripchat scripts and plugins and apps are handling the situation with this. May include in future versions or post tutorial to get the key.

Release v1.5.4

NEW: Add confirmation dialogs for favourites backup and restore actions to prevent accidental overwrite

Release v1.5.3

Fixes the display of photos and videos from a cam's profile.

For those not familiar with this feature: You can open the context menu (key depending on os, see here: https://kodi.wiki/view/Basic_controls ) on a cam in the list and select "Show profile albums/videos". This displays available photos or videos the user has.

Recommended addon settings are:
Settings - SC19 > Profile info > Context menu - List restricted albums as well: disabled
Settings - SC19 > Profile info > Context menu - List restricted albums as well: enabled

This shows albums that are free to see without paying or being logged in to the site, all others are not viewable as they are heavily blurred. Restricted videos are shown without the blur you see on the site, but they are lower resolution and most of the time cut down to 15 seconds (showing snippets from the video for a good overview), all other videos show normal.

Release v1.5.2

• Fixed the broken fuzzy search and renamed searching
• Added search option per category
• Removed broken "random 50" function

Release v1.5.1

Fixes "Error filtering cams" message when selecting categories. SC changed a key name in the JSON response for the roomlist, regarding the preview image used as fanart in the background. Happy sunday.
