No blue links working here since last night, anybody else having the same problem ?

Is there any way to get this working with only an NBC Gold account please?

All gold games were working the last weeks  and should be today.

 An NBC gold account is an email address/password not a TV provider login like the "regular" NBC Sports Live

Hello I'm having a issue trying to sign into my account when it says activate from link. When I go to link it on device it doesn't have nvidia shield which I'm using. I tired firestick and after input info it says successful on link and when I click on to close small popup window on kodi it says playback failed check log for more information.

Maybe I have a cookie on my PC then as I do have a working account with NBCSN Gold, only I do not need to login here to see and use all the links, can you see the blue links for the Gold games ?

Try Apple TV

I’m having the exact same issue. I have the nvidia shield, tried using appletv, and then I get the playback failed message.

Any help would be appreciated.

The first time you activate the stream will fail. That's a bug I'm looking to fix. If you select the stream a second time and every time there after it should play.

Thanks so much for adding the Olympics section!

I'm having trouble--some links work and others don't. But many of the broken links aren't really broken: if I go to the log, copy the URL that's being passed to CCurlfFile, and then use ffmpeg directly to open the file, it works. It might just be timing out too quickly--some of them take a really long time to start streaming through ffmpeg.

Here's an example of a log snippet from one of the URLs that failed in Kodi but then worked through ffmpeg. Any ideas on how I might fix this?

That's everything that's logged until I press "OK" on the Kodi dialog telling me that the stream failed to play. If I then take the URL from the Kodi and run ffmpeg with it like this, it works:

Quote:ffmpeg -i "http://sprtlive31.akamaized.net/hls/live/586451/nbc-olympics0210030950/master_vod.m3u8?token=st=1518312882~exp=1518313002~acl=/hls/live/586451/nbc-olympics0210030950/*~hmac=14d05b06546088b68f3960547f19da56a7dbf06c8c67bea3b3362589279c3f00" -c copy temp.mkv

I do know Python and have a vague enough idea about how HLS works to get this far, but I know nothing about Kodi addons or how you're scraping the NBC site. But if there's more info I can provide to help, please let me know! And if you don't have time to fix it but can point me in some vague direction, I'll take that, too!

Thanks again for all your work on the addon!

Thanks so much for updating for the Olympics.  It all works smoothly.

Is it possible that the stream quality choice returns please ?

For some reason, I just can’t get any blue links to work other than the Olympic channel. I have tried everything but keep getting playback failed. I’m using the addon on an Apple TV but have also tried it i an android platform. Ca somebody please help?

 Sir, but still needs  verification, same as the official nbcsn olympics site..

Does anyone have at&t, directv, verizon or any provider's login details (username / ID + password) to share so the live section can be available?

or a workaround to bypass that verification?

thank you very much
