"Cast" Legal stream of NFL Network
#1
Hi All,

Through my cable provider I have access to NFL Network online - NFL Channel plus RedZone in season. Legal streams.

I have an IP Matrix set up in my house with 4 devices that are shared on my network via IP (Video Storm's Netplay).

One of Netplay's features is having XBMC (I think its Gotham) at each encoder, so at each TV, I have an instance of XBMC. I also keep a PC running 24x7 as an IP camera NVR, so I can download Kodi 15 to that box if needed (cannot upgrade the IP matrix encoders to a newer version of XBMC)

My ultimate goal is to get RedZone on the Gotham XBMC interface. The IP matrix system supports up to 6 pictures on 1 TV so you can watch multiple things. In season I'd like to have my 2 cable boxes on NBC/CBS for the games, then a 3rd box on the TV playing RedZone. I may not watch all 3 at once, but would like the ability to do so.

So I want to find a way to take a legal stream where I log into NFL online, and "cast it to XBMC". I need to go straight to XBMC, no other hardware (like a chromecast, roku, for reasons of the IP matrix system would then require an input which I am out of, XBMC is a "free input" so to speak since its built into the decoder). Or I can find a way to create my own RTPS stream as my IP matrix system can accept as many RTPS streams

I have an Android Tablet, I have an iPhone 5s. I have a Win 8.1 computer and I have an iMac. I have a very mixed environment with plenty of gadgets and tools. I've tried some plug ins and nothing seems to work.

I was thinking somehow I could do a screen capture with VLC and create an RTPS stream but I failed at that when testing.

any advice?

How is the steam delivered by NFL? Is it some sort of iptv? Does a simple strm file work?

I am not sure - you go here: http://nflnonline.nfl.com/
And it asks for your cable provider - you pick your provider, put in your user name/passowrd then a box pops up on the screen that says watch live TV. click on it, and a window pops up with the live stream. the link in the pop up box is http://nflnonline.nfl.com/nflno/console.jsp

once you put your provider/log in info once, next time you go to the site you do not have to do it again, the watch live tv button is there to press
