This site is awesome if you are a hardcore pro wrestling fan. The NJPWworld website is not region locked, as they allow other countries to view the content. I do pay for a subscription to this site, and the site is roughly $7-$9 a month, depending on the currency conversion.

In order for English reading persons to navigate the site, scroll to the top of the page and you will see a translate to English tab (you may need to turn ad block off to see it), which makes navigating easy, or you may need to use the Chrome browser or Google Translate to navigate the site in English. There is free content on the site that does not require a subscription for any of you who may be interested in helping me figure this out, but have no interest in actually subscribing. These videos are of course marked FREE.

I just want to use KODI to view the NJPWworld website video content on my TV, rather than having to use my PC or Tablet to do so. The site's content library is massive and a must for wrestling fans.

I would sincerely appreciate it if any one of you KODI developers took this website on and developed an app for it.

Just wondering if anyone has been working on this or if there was any possibility someone would? The site has TONS of content.

Well, I spent a little bit of time on this, but I can't quite come up with anything usable so far.

Let's use http://njpwworld.com/player?id=32420&autoStart=true as an example.

If we look in the source, we can find a Chromecast URL within some script that points to:
http://api.njpwworld.com/chromecast/cast...fier=&time=

If we go there we get back some useful JSON:
{"videos":[{"title":"\u77e2\u91ce\u901a\u306e\u30d1\u30fc\u30c8\u30ca\u30fc\"X\"\u306f ROH\u306e\u30d6\u30ea\u30b9\u30b3\u30d6\u30e9\u30b6\u30fc\u30ba!! ","path":"http:\/\/www2.uliza.jp\/IF\/iphone\/iPhonePlaylist.m3u8?v=4dbca7c7f1cc2d4bba97d97f25679a8a&p=5208&d=1239&n=2994&t=c406616bb2949c2a6b6dcaaee2d09dba&chromec=1","streamType":"vod","mediaProtocol":"hls","manifestRequest":{"headers":[],"credentials":true},"licenseRequest":{"credentials":true},"segmentRequest":{"credentials":false},"thumb":"http:\/\/njpwworld.com\/image\/chromecast\/640-1136.png","artwork":["http:\/\/njpwworld.com\/image\/chromecast\/640-1136.png"],"videoQuality":["1904000"],"audioQuality":["96000"],"position":0,"beaconUrl":"http:\/\/rtime-beacon01.uliza.jp\/beacon?c=1239&p=o_original_0033_51&d=pc&s=2htgrjvc0ck8n5o51ogm8obajjcnm94m5d47ig3v3mkk1ueogka0&event=playing","beaconInterval":"20000"}]}

That would get us everything we need in theory. If we turn that m3u8 URL into an actual URL, it becomes:
http://www2.uliza.jp/IF/iphone/iPhonePla...&chromec=1

If I load that URL in Microsoft Edge, it loads their embedded video player and begins playing the content as expected. It tries to download the m3u8 in Chrome.

The response from this request reveals:
#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-STREAM-INFROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=1
http://aka-njpww-hls-vod-cm.uliza.jp/123...85656.m3u8

So, that's pretty much my brain dump on this is in the short time I've had to mess around with it.

[NoTanFightFan]

Thank you for trying at least man. I appreciate it.
