Are you saying thqt maximum bitrate is 400kbps even with a paid account?
No. For none paid. But I am saying I'm not going to pay 30 bucks a month for what they offer when I can get basic cable to do the same cheaper.
RE: [RELEASE] ustvnow - RGB_Gamer - 2013-09-04
Does anyone here have a paid (not free) account and have issues with live tv or recordings stuttering when playing back with a bitrate higher than 400kbps

RE: [RELEASE] ustvnow - dCypher - 2013-09-05
Now getting a script error when I try to run the add-on. I have spent several hours trying to troubleshoot with no luck and was hoping the community may help. I hope it's ok that I copied a small portion of my log below. If not, I can remove it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated for this awesome add-on.

Oh this one is easy, open "C:\Users\Michael\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\plugin.video.ustvnow\resources\lib\Addon.py" and change all occurances of "xbmc.output" to "xbmc.log" i think it is buried somewhere in the forums.
RE: [RELEASE] ustvnow - dCypher - 2013-09-05
Thank you! That was very easy to fix. Strange how it's set to .output rather than .log. SO, now I am back in, but when I try to play anything...nothing happens. Here's the log for this new issue:

Are you in the USA? what device do you use to watch ustvnow? I use a G-Box Midnight 2.2
I only have stuttering issues with ustvnow...sux cuz I am getting rid of Comcast. 400Kbps looks like a low quality YouTube video - not terrible, but a big difference from highest quality ustvnow bitrate. Also if I pause for any more than a minute or rewind, it hangs.
I am not in the USA and am using XBMC on a fairly powerful computer.
RE: [RELEASE] ustvnow - dCypher - 2013-09-05
Hmm.... I didn't like all references to the screen saver and I thought it may be a red herring. I rebooted and tried again. With settings set to RTSP I get the following errors:

RE: [RELEASE] ustvnow - RGB_Gamer - 2013-09-05
All the more reason this plugin needs to be worked on
RE: [RELEASE] ustvnow - wolfbiker - 2013-09-05
Wow, USTVNow blows now. I mainly use the free account and it really sucks that they limit the free accounts to 400kbps now. I occasionally buy the day pass, and did so this past Sunday. Was really disappointed to see that none of the channels were in HD despite changing the bitrate in the config back to 1024kbps. Everything looked like dogshit. nimble.tv is the way to go if you're looking for a lot of channels, but really, nimble.tv is about the same in terms of cost as paying for a cable or satellite sub.

I seem to see a lot of complaints from those with a free account.
