It's line 175 of the nbcsn.py file. I can test this in about 35 minutes when the Bruins/Redwings game starts.

Hmmm... it's already started here I am watching pre-game show now. But I actually made some other changes to plugin to display Live/Future games properly...

Well, what am I waiting for?

It's working for me, the pregame is on now. And it's actually line 174 not 175 as I posted above.

Also, in my case, I have three nbcsnliveextra folders: one is the standard plugin.video.nbcsnliveextra folder and I also have a plugin.video.nbcsnliveextra-fix_upcoming folder, but the changes need to be made in the nbcsnliveextra-master folder.

Hey man,

I changed User_Agent to this one and it seems to be working again.

Awesome! I'm thinking of possibly adding an option change the user-agent manually to help any future hiccups. For now the latest changes can be downloaded from the github repo:
https://github.com/eracknaphobia/plugin....master.zip

I'll be submitting an update to the official kodi repo shortly.

Had me worried for a moment. I was afraid I wasn't going to be able to watch the Stanley Cup finals coming up soon. You guys are the best. Keep up the good work!

just to echo the above - thanks for the hard work guys. Appreciate it.

your a star

In Detroit area, when I click the wings/bruins game, nothing happens.

Do I need I do an update to the xtra app? I'm running latest version of Kodi on atv

Wasn't sure if this was covered already....

Duh, post right before. Got it!

Hi all

Love this plugin!! I've seen a few posts from people asking about VPNs etc so thought I'd share my experiences and give some people a bit of info about how my particular setup works in case it comes in useful for anyone else

All it does is allow me to launch a US VPN connection transparently from within XBMC, nothing more.

First of all, I'm in the UK and use the BBC iPlayer and ITV plugins. I also have XBMC running on an HTPC with a Harmony remote so "need" to be able to be able to switch to a US VPN without having to get a keyboard and come out of XBMC in order to use this NBC plugin. I use Private Internet Access as a VPN for this.

I was able to connect to a VPN using Advanced Launcher and OpenVPN to initiate the VPN connection but found that in launching OpenVPN it would steal focus from XBMC. I then ended up using Windows built in VPN via RASDIAL (built in Windows VPN dialler), but that had a similar issue as Advanced Launcher was still having to run a .bat file which would steal focus. I then discovered nircmd which will launch a cmd silently without bringing up a cmd prompt window and stealing focus.

I did this a while ago so I may get some of the steps mixed up a bit but hopefully it'll point people in the right direction..

Requirements:

A VPN account (could be any I suppose I just happen to use Private Internet Access)
Windows 7 (don't know about other versions)
Advanced Launcher installed in XBMC
Nircmd - get it from here: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html
A bit of a clue about Advanced Launcher (this is more of an overview rather than step by step hand holding)

1. Download and extract nircmd.exe to a location XBMC has permissions to execute it

2. Setup the VPN connection in Windows by following these instructions: https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/pa...l2tp_ipsec - but give it a simple name when you're setting it up to make it easier to launch it from Advanced Launcher (in my case I just called it "PIA")

3. In Advanced Launcher create a new launcher and call it whatever you want (I called mine "US VPN Connect")
Thumbnails path doesn't matter the main things we're putting in place are the application and arguments settings
Application: E:\utils\nircmd.exe (tells Advanced Launcher to launch nircmd.exe - change the path to wherever you extracted it)
Arguments: rasdial PIA (tells nircmd.exe to launch rasdial and open the "PIA" VPN connection)
Platform: DOS (don't know if this matters..)

That's basically it. As I want to be able to get into iPlayer etc in the UK after I've used NBC plugin I also created a disconnect Launcher in Advanced Launcher by doing step 3 but with arguments: "rashangup" which closes the VPN connection.

This works for me, and hopefully will help anyone else in a similar situation to me Ideally I'd figure out a way of having this all happen automagically when I open the NBC plugin but if any clever person out there has any ideas how to do that speak up

Cheers

Have you tried applying this update that is a handful of posts back? Is this your issue? Most of us were pleased when we got this fix. Otherwise it is still working for me.

Anyone else finding PIA too slow to play these streams smoothly? I've used it both on the PC & Pi and experience significant buffering. I'm on a 20Mb line, which I've seen download upto 2.5MBps, so that should be fast enough to stream even the 1080p streams, right?

Are there any settings in advancedsettings.xml worth utilising? I'm thinking the ability to store locally so I could pause for five mins to cache enough etc?

Yep I found PIA way too slow at times so I went with Smart DNS Proxy. I'm getting my full broadband speeds of around 80Mbps with them (Ireland -> USA). Smart DNS are quite cheap also - I signed up for 2 years costing me $35 (I joined for the free trial and they sent me a 70% off offer by email).

Awesome, will look into it and hopefully repeat the free trial > 70% email method you were given.

It was the other way round for me. Smart DNS buffered too much, PIA works perfect on my PI2. Does anyone know what user agent the pi uses on openelec?

There's a PIA addon. You use it?
