Anyone have any insight in this error? I have it working on 3 Amazon Fire Sticks and they're all giving me these errors when I try to load today's games, my Nexus 7 runs this add-on just fine on the same network:

I've tried to remove and re-add the addon, still the same error.

I just want to praise how flawlessly the addon runs. The stream itself is better than the 360, PS4 and even me just hooking up an HDMI cable from my TV to my PC. I have Kodi running on a QNAP NAS and the feed is just incredible, probably even better than on cable/satellite. Thank you so much for your hard work on this. If I have one complaint its that I can't exit a game and go back to the list of others currently going on without exiting Kodi completely but that's probably a fault of Kodi on the QNAP itself and nothing to do with this wonderful addon. Thank you again! Hope your others are this fantastic!

I'm using version 4.19 of the add-on. The list of other games does appear after exiting the current game stream..

You're right or I could just click "Stop". Derp.

My PIA VPN won't no long work to by pass blackout's when it did just days ago before 3.2 update on my Nvidia Shield. I'm on add-on 4.19 date and now all games are blackout out, not just my area games all games. Seems either mlb did something to detect on andriod or something changed? If anyone can help or knows a way around it please help thanks.

I also use PIA and have had this issue over the last month or two.. I don't get the blackout message, though, if I choose a non U.S. PIA server. The non U.S. servers are often slow, but if you disconnect, your connection to the game stream will remain, and at the speeds you get without any VPN.

Mine was working just fine. This problem just started yesterday. And the only thing I can think that happen or changed is the Nvidia Shield update? Also my PIA still working just fine on my Firetv 2. Andriod phone also having same problem must be MLB stream affecting andriod base devices.

A bit off-topic, but is there a way to watch the All-Star Home Run Derby on Kodi at 60 fps? It'll probably be shown at MLB.com .

WatchESPN will have it available.

Won't that require login credentials? I canceled pay tv service two years ago.

Can the repo be added as a source? I currently not have any way to down load the zip and transfer to my RPi

I don't know about adding the repo as a source, but you can add the Fusion repo as a source and install this "PYTHON ZIP DOWNLOADER" add-on:

https://www.tvaddons.ag/kodi-addons/show...ownloader/

Then run that add-on and have it download the repo URL linked in the first post of this thread (be sure to append "?raw=true" to the end of the URL to download successfully).

Update 2016.7.13 Released

If you're comfortable with the command line interface you could use the command below to download the zip. Just make sure you download it to a folder that is visible through kodi.
