Confirmed that I am noticing the same problem as @activate

Today's match is getting streamed from sshds24-lh.akamaihd.net (yesterday it was sshds25-lh.akamaihd.net). I added it to the DNS list but still got the IP issue error.

The good news is I am able to play it in the browser (and this was before I added sshds24-lh to the whitelist !).

So the solution might just be to use a better Request Header?

This is the full request header when I check in Chrome

Code:

Accept:*/*
Accept-Encoding:gzip, deflate, sdch
Accept-Language:en-US,en;q=0.8
Connection:keep-alive
Cookie:_alid_=/xynQTzFPH3GTO3xoTyuqg==; hdntl=exp=1459258332~acl=%2f*~data=hdntl~hmac=45a3e307d0c0c153bce195a5da8c021ebc9fb8a0b5ee1a5305b023b2d7b99f1c

The Referer, User-Agent and X-Requested-With are the only ones that seem to be important (these are all defaults in Chrome). I did not have to use any Modified Header like X-Forwarded-For etc

Edit; I located the section in code, so will try this soon.

Edit 2: Could not make it work with the header

Code:

headers = {'Accept':'text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,*/*;q=0.8', 'Accept-Encoding':'gzip, deflate, sdch', 'Connection':'keep-alive', 'User-Agent':'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/49.0.2623.87 Safari/537.36', 'X-Requested-With':'ShockwaveFlash/21.0.0.197'}

Host and Referer don't seem to be supported.
