Buffering is getting so bad its not watchable on my MX3 TV box . I used to be able to watch the last game of the finals last year in 5000K with no problems but now it constantly buffers. Even at 1600K it buffers. Everything else on the MX3 plays perfect (Mashup HD movies, etc).

You stated previously that while other devices buffered, your Apple TV did not. Are you still seeing the same thing?

ellisd/eracknaphobia - Does the UserAgent affect what stream is available? I know that there are different UserAgents for different devices, but are the streams they pull slightly different? If so, could you just be using a UserAgent from a very popular device?

The default is set to a PS3 user-agent. You can change the user-agent under settings, to see if it makes a difference.

I personally haven't seen major issues with streams lately. Some buffering here and there but nothing that made them unwatchable. At least on Win 7 pc's and Fire TV's.

EDIT: I just realized, carb0 must have hid the setting in his last release. If you go into the plugin.video.nhl-gamecenter > resources > settings.xml file change the line

Code:

<setting id="useragent" type="text" label="30150" default="PS3Application libhttp/4.5.5-000 (CellOS)" visible="false"/>

TO

Code:

<setting id="useragent" type="text" label="30150" default="PS3Application libhttp/4.5.5-000 (CellOS)" visible="true"/>

and you'll be able to change it on the fly via the settings in xbmc. Just make sure you change it at the main menu, so it try's to get the live stream with the newly changed user-agent. FYI, it might cause errors if it doesn't like the user-agent.

And that is why I question this... all I've heard from some people is that NHLGC on PS3 is horrible. How can I get the proper context for a UserAgent.. I would love to test the Apple TV one and see if it makes a difference based on NYR94's experiences.
