Python Assistance Kodi Addon

[yuljk]

Hi guys - I need some help with a Kodi addon (UKTVNOW) - I'd like to modify the addon so that it no longer prompts everytime I select a channel to watch, asking me to choose either HTTP or RTMP for the stream. Essentially I just want to disable the dialogue box altogether and force HTTP everytime.

Unfortunately the author doesn't seem to be contactable.

Here's the default.py in the addon directory (I believe this is the file to edit)

import urllib,urllib2,sys,re,xbmcplugin,xbmcgui,xbmcaddon,xbmc,os,json,random,string,base64,hashlib,pyaes

AddonID ='plugin.video.uktvnow.net'
fanart = xbmc.translatePath(os.path.join('special://home/addons/' + AddonID , 'fanart.jpg'))
icon = xbmc.translatePath(os.path.join('special://home/addons/' + AddonID, 'icon.png'))
artpath = xbmc.translatePath(os.path.join('special://home/addons/' + AddonID + '/resources/art/'))
thumbpath = xbmc.translatePath(os.path.join('special://home/addons/' + AddonID + '/resources/thumbs/'))
dialog = xbmcgui.Dialog()
selfAddon = xbmcaddon.Addon(id=AddonID)
Username='-1'
