Kodi Community Forum

I pay for Sport Net Now. I've entered my login credentials in the app in kodi. It will not work. I keep being told that it can't authorise the login. The only way it'll work, is if I download the actual app from the play store, and install it on the home screen of the Android box. The repo app will not work in kodi itself.

Also, when I go into the settings of the app and do the updates, or try to open it from there, I'm still getting authorization errors.

Hey micahg, new to the Kodi forum. Won't let me send you a pm with my telus info. If you got some time can you message me pls. Thanks.

Hey micagh I tried to pm you about the Sportsnet now app and I could not send it as it said was not authorized to send a message.
Here is the issue. I added the Sportsnet now addon for my sister as she has MS and loves bluejays but lately she could not find link on castaway or the devil.
So I installed the app and added the shortcut to her sports folder.
I put my user and pass in and it worked for five innings then kicked her out and now get stupid authorization error.

Can you help?
She doesn't much have much but she loves her jays.

I'm having the same problem. Input my login credentials but when I select a channel I get an unable to authorize error. Any help would be appreciated.

Same problem here. App on my phone and tablet works fine, but app on kodi shows authentication failed. I turned on the debug log but dont see any issues. Not sure what the problem is.

Having same problem as mentioned, I can see all the channels, but when I click any channel to play it, I get the error Unable to Authenticate the channel. I assume they changed something and broken the Kodi scraper. I hope OP can take a look and hopefully come up with a fix. Back to watching on the web for now.

I am also having issues with sportsnet now but now it will not even open at all.

Also having issues here. We normally had to reboot several times to stop getting the "Unable to authorize channel" message, but the last couple days, it doesn't work at all. Just a "Sportsnet Now error" message. Here's a section from my log file, if that helps

Are there any fixes at all for this or not yet.

Yup I am getting the error as well, with Rogers credentials entered. No problem yesterday, just today. This is my go to app, especially with the World Cup tomorrow.

Please help!

I'll jump in and say that I'm having the same issue. My SN NOW section in the Sportsnet Android app works fine.

New to all this, can someone please help me to install sportsnet now. after install I cant get it to work. [email protected]

I am so confused. Is there a fix and if so can someone please post in plain English?
