I tried streaming the EURO 2012 games today on my ATV2 and it kept failing (seemed to start for a split second and stop - no GUI errors). So, I decided it was time to update to the newest iOS and latest Seas0nPass since I was still on 5.0 and thought that might be the problem (didn't check the forums). After getting everything back up (including a fresh install of XBMC/BlueCop repo), I was having the same problems as before. My error logs had the following error:

ERROR: RTMP_ReadPacket, failed to read RTMP packet header

I searched around and found folks saying this is a problem with the librtmp.0.dylib file (the version shipped with XBMC being the latest stable file, but out of date). A lot of posts suggested downloading BlueCop's version from his site, but I continued to have problems with that one. Finally found a more recent thread on an NBA topic (credit: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=101938&pid=1106384#pid1106384) which suggested a different version:

Replacing the /Applications/XBMC.frappliance/Frameworks/librtmp.0.dylib with that one did the trick for me. Streaming is working again!

AUZambo, this worked for me on my ATV2. Put it in /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/addons/plugin.video.espn3

I have no idea where this default.py came from or when it was released but it worked for me on the apple tv 2. Thank you so much!

I was able to get the directory listings for live ESPN and ESPN 2 content to show up, but they're not playing, even when I have my login information (which works through a browser and the watchespn apps). I noticed that ESPN 3 content has a bamID and bamContent number in their descriptions, but the ESPN and ESPN 2 shows do not. I'm wondering if they're somehow authenticating Comcast users differently for ESPN and ESPN 2 content.

What makes me think this is because - I know this was awhile back - bluecop mentioned to post what was at this link: http://broadband.espn.go.com/espn3/auth/espnnetworks/user

When I go there, I get this: { "espn3":"comcast", "networks":"invalid" }

I don't know, I've done some searching but haven't really found anything, so if anyone has had any better luck than me, I'd love to hear it!

Oh yeah, apple tv 2.

+1. I would like to know that as well. It would really help when people say it works, if they could also provide the channels and the provider name. I guess it is causing lot of confusion to exactly know what works and what doesn't.

FYI, from what I found out(from the browser), at least with comcast to play videos from espn/espn2, it is passing two other parameters(big hash value related to the provider) that are not being used by this plugin. I tried to see where to get those parameters but couldn't find it.

umm... this log is not any ATV 2 log that I've ever seen. With all that HTML referencing, I have to ask, do you have it setup to try and watch through the browser? if so, there's your problem.

I at least am now able to open the plugin and see the menus within it...now it's back to only playing a second or two before going back to the previous menu. I'll go back and retry that .dylib file thing I requoted above.

*EDIT: Sweet...finally back up and running.
