Hi, I am getting an error when trying to install "Dependencies not met. Contact Author", when looking at the log it looks like it is having trouble connecting with the site. I am running an older version on Kodi 15.2 on a Raspberry Pi in Raspbian. Wondering if that might be the issue.. any suggestions?

[architeuthis]

I had that error in Kodi 16.1. Reinstalling Kodi resolved it, but if you have a lot of addons and customized settings, hopefully there's a better solution for you.

after a few weeks of very little if any buffering issues (including half of the mets/braves game tonight), i'm back to being almost unwatchable on both CDNs. awesome.

edit: this appears to be a mlb server issue. i can't even get to mlb.com via my computer.

edit 2: nevermind, it may not be. roku is working now but the fire stick is still unwatchable.

I really wanted to love this add-on, really, but the buffering it crazy. I'm not sure what it is, but I get constant buffering issues.

The MLB.tv web stream on my PC works fine, no buffering issues, so I don't think it's my Internet.

Is there something that the flash app is doing that the add-on cannot do?

Have you experimented with different settings for the CDN and bandwidth?

The buffering appears to be hit or miss on any given night with any of the CDN combinations. Watched last night's Red Sox/Orioles game with very little buffering. A few times the audio would drop for a few seconds but pick right back up. When it gets bad (like 2 or 3 times in a row) I just switch to the MLB App. I prefer watching in Kodi for the 60 fps but if it's bad I'll just go to the MLB app which seems more consistent but a little drop in quality. Oh, and watching on Amazon Firestick

Similar here but it sounds like I might have been a little bit luckier than you up to now. Last night's BoSox/Orioles game was the first game of the season that I couldn't get through at 5000 kbps with one CDN or another, and I've watched all the Sox games. But truth be told, I think that even the 1800 kbps feed looks better in Kodi than what I get in the AtBat MLB app with whatever bitrate it's algorithm decides is appropriate .

My latest install of MLB.TV does not load live streams. I can watch yesterday's highlights etc.

Log file at http://paste.ubuntu.com/24574687/

Thank you for any help!

[lochness]

I had the same as mooninite on 2017-04-05 and Owezahra; archived games and highlights would play, but live games wouldn't. It would just revert silently to the daily menu. I regressed back through the available versions, no help.

I think it may have been caused by updating the Kodi version to 17; I don't believe I had any problems before that. Another install I have which is mostly the same (also Ubuntu), but was a fresh 17 install didn't have the problem.

I was able to fix it by nuking the .kodi folder, but I had to reinstall all my apps and reset everything. Seems to work fine now.

Also, when I regressed to previous versions, I noticed that the InfoWall had team logos. The new one doesn't do that; hasn't in a while, not sure when it changed.

Does this work on helix? That's the latest supported version on my Samsung tablet... I'm getting dependency not met errors

No, but you might be able to make it work. You'll have to unzip the addon to a folder, edit the version of python required in the addon.xml file, then you'd be able to drop your folder into the addons folder in Helix. I changed the version of python required to 2.1.0 and version 2016.7.28 of the addon works for me in Gotham.

Code:

<import addon="xbmc.python" version="2.1.0"/>

[nola mike]

Well, changed the python version to 2.1.0 (not sure what the correct version should be) and got it to install and load. Can't get anything to play though.

Which version of the addon are you using? I'm still running an older version of the addon (2016.7.28) from last year. @eracknaphobia keeps all the older versions on his github site.

[Ridor]

ok delete cookie file in "userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.mlbtv"

and works again.

Thank you - live streams work like a charm.

[Bearrr]

For the past week all my streams appear distorted. I can't fix it by adjusting video settings. I'm using newest Kodi version and newest app version. Any ideas?picture
