Did I post the log correctly?
That's not a kodi log. Please follow the instructions listed here: http://kodi.wiki/view/Log_file/Easy

OK. Got log this time. Same error as has been posted. Is there something I need to do to completely uninstall? Uninstalling from menu and reinstalling from repo still gives same error, as below

Edit to add: Did a wipe of Kodi with fresh start, installed only NHL.tv and still get the error as above Sad
Sorry - I don't know what I'm not following

Edit #2: Rebooted firestick from scratch and everything works. Not sure what I did wrong.
Thanks Eracknophobia, for everything you do.

New error for the RDS (French) stream for tonight's game though. Quick check in the log viewer, it's a python error, "Error Contents: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe7' in position 144: ordinal not in range(128)".

Something to do with the letter ç I suppose?
Ok, I will look into a fix for this error. Thanks for letting me know.

Thanks, glad you got it working.
Hi, I'm hoping someone can help.  I am a serious Kodi newbie, so please be gentle.

I have an NHL.TV subscription, but when I use the NHL.TV addon, I only get a feed in 720p.  For the life of me, I can't figure out how to get the feed in 1080p.  It shows up as both 720p on the opening screen ( https://imgur.com/6Po79of ) as well on the options page while watching the feed - ( https://imgur.com/IMb7TtR

I run in windowed mode as I have a 21:9 (3440x1440) monitor and don't like the black bars.  

Anything I can try to make it work in 1080p?  I seem to get 1080p if I watch on my Roku, and if I try to watch NHL.TV through a browser it skips every 5 or 10 seconds (usually when its updating the stats below) so it's not really watchable.  

The NHL TV addon on Kodi works great and I can certainly live with 720p if that's what it is, but it would be nice to watch it in 1080p.

Thanks for reading and thanks in advance.

cheers,
--pdb39

edit: I have the latest Kodi version (17.5) and the latest NHL.TV addon 2017.11.3

Nope. 720p 60fps is the maximum you'll get from the add-on. I don't think you'll get anything higher on the Roku (or any other device for that matter) either.
First of all, many thanks to the author for creating this addon. Great job, eracknaphobia!

I have a feature request:

Would like to see an option to have live games (i.e., games that are currently broadcast live with "media on" state) always start from the beginning.

I realize there is a line of code in the nhl_tv.py file which sort of pertains to my request. It reads:
Code:
# Slide = Live, Complete = Watch from beginning?

Now, I am wondering as to how to amend and or expand the code so that the game is forced to start from the beginning.

The use case: If user does not want to be spoiled of current score entering a live game, he would want to have the stream start in a time shifted way.

Appreciate your work very much.

Thank you for the response.  You're also correct about the Roku NHL app - apparently they will upscale the 720p60 picture to 1080p, but it is certainly not native 1080p. 

Bummer that they don't broadcast hockey in 1080p, but at least I know it's not something I'm doing wrong - only the NHL Smile

Yeah that would be awesome!

And many many thanks to eracknaphobiar for creating this great addon!!!
For some reason this addons wont work for me at raspberry pi 3.
Here is log file what errors i get: https://pastebin.com/6kYNcK0h
The last couple days, this addon hasn't worked on my android box. I select the game, loading wheel spins a little then nothing happens. Try again and again and every once in a while I get an error, failed to play.

 By any chance did you change the quality from Best Available to anything else?  If so set it back to best available.

I keep seeing mention of "please set to best available".  What if you want a slower feed?  I live in a rural area and all I get is 5 Mbps to the house.  At Best Available, it uses 100% of my bandwidth and still stops or loses sound from time to time.  Excellent amazing picture, but I would rather sacrifice a little quality in order to not have the frustration of a pause on a Johnny Hockey breakaway!  Smile

I've been using this addon for the past couple of seasons and never had this issue before.  I was always able to downgrade to 3500 or 2500 when I needed to?  

I know I haven't included any details about my build or uploaded logs, I just thought I would check and see if this is a known issue first?  I tried searching the thread for "best available" but it seems the search feature is broken?  So I skimmed through many pages checking.  I see lots of references of people changing to "best available" to fix issues.  But noone specifically saying all other speeds are broken.  

btw - if I change to "always ask" nothing works, even 5600.  

Thanks for your input.

PS - Thanks for the addon btw!  It is sooooo much better than the official apps!!!!!

 I don't think we have a choice anymore.  I also had mine set to a lower quality feed on my Android TV box and it was working great until Monday when it stopped.   Looking into the log file I saw that I was getting 404 errors on the games when I tried to watch them.  I changed it back to best available and they stream as expected.

Thanks!  Very much appreciated.  In the meantime I called and bumped my internet up to 10 Mbps  Smile
