Just uploaded 0.24.4.
This just updates to Matt latest common code.

One highlight of the new code is the new add-on setting for setting the Inputstream quality.
Find it under Addon Settings > Playback > Set Inputstream Quality.

I also added Sort by Episode when listing seasons.
This makes Kodi show the episode number and puts in correct ordering.

You can get it from my original post:

@js9241698 thank you for continuing the project of @matthuisman! It works flawlessly, though I do have some questions regarding features, as to whether they could be added or not:

1) What is the possibility of displaying the watched status/remaining episode count for each TV show, like Kodi does internally for added local TV shows? Right now we only get ticks, and it'd be nice to see how many episodes you have left for a given season.

2) Is there a way to filter by one's watchlist? As you're able to add shows to your watchlist via Showmax's web portal, so I'm wondering if there isn't a way to retrieve that and then display only those shows.

Keep well!

The Showmax addon is working for me but it is not using 480p streams after I have set it to do so, it is playing 720p, anyone have any ideas?

I figured out the issue with it not displaying 480p. In "inputstreamsettings" it needs to have "stream selection" set to manual.

However in the Showmax addon when it is set like this the videos are garbled so I'm thinking it needs to have the widevine drm updated as well. Does anyone know how to do this manually?

Just uploaded 0.25.3

Matt how moved all his common code into a new module.
That module is only available via his repo, so his repo is now required to be installed for this add-on to work.
Instructions to install that are in the release post linked below.

This adds a few benefits going forward.

1) Smaller add-on size
2) He can push updates to improve common code without me needing to then push new update to this add-on.
3) His common module includes all the dependencies built-in (arrow, requests etc).
This makes things less likely to break going forward.

Note:
This add-on is not in his repo (due to takedown). You will still need to manually update it when required.
I will look into creating a repo in the future of my own that contains this add-on so updates can be automated.
