Do you use a custom Eden build or Margo's PVR build? Condensed and archived games don't work yet.

um, as far as I know, neither. straight out of the box. (in fact, I'm certain I've installed nothing more than the standard version of Eden.)
i never even tried when I installed the plugin, assuming that the OP description was correct, then one a whim last night went poking around in it, saw that it loaded the menu for the days games, i clicked on one. got the "this game has ended" screen, so I tried the final game of the eve (DET vs ... ducks?) which was in progress, and there it was. "Huh!" I even checked on another computer to watch the game in browser just to make sure.

the only thing I can think of... I experimented with TV tuning on this setup abut a year ago, but gave up when 1) i realized the tuner I had was shite 2) setting up the backend software was "above my paygrade" and out of my league. (but I believe I did leave the software installed, just not configured.)

while I am very new to this area of software, know absolute crap about TV tuning, etc, Not New to computers in general. If there's anything I can do to verify this, let me know?

It depends on the skin you have. In Confluence you can go to System and click on System info in the submenu. In the lower right corner of the screen you should see the CPU and memory usage and above that the XBMC version you have installed.

I don't have any experience with github, can I download that file and replace the one in my install manually?

You would need to recompile your xbmc binary from source to replace it. The lines prefixed with > show where code was modified for my patched build.

Code:

apokalypse@destruction:~/tmp/xbmc$ diff ~/tmp/xbmc/playlists/PlayListFactory.cpp ~/xbmc-patched/xbmc/playlists/PlayListFactory.cpp
66c66
<     if (strMimeType == "audio/x-mpegurl")
---
>     if ((strMimeType == "audio/x-mpegurl") && !item.IsType(".m3u8"))
123c123
<   || strMimeType == "audio/x-mpegurl")
---
>   || ((strMimeType == "audio/x-mpegurl") && !item.IsType(".m3u8")))

I'm a little new to this stuff. I am attempting to get this add on operational in Eden. RC-3 Frodo doesn't work with my system due to Nvidia driver issues it seems.

Do the edits above still enable live streams to work? I am guessing these edits are made from a terminal command line? Can anyone tell me how to bring up playlistfactory.cpp in order to edit it?

Apologies for the basic questions. Thanks.

You have to download the source of XBMC, edit PlayListFactory.cpp (edit the 2 lines that are shown apok's post) and then build XBMC.

XBMC Eden source:
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/tree/Eden

Here are the wiki post on how to compile XBMC:
Windows: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=How...or_Windows
Linux: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=How..._for_Linux
Mac: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=How...r_Mac_OS_X

If you use Windows you can also download a PVR build that contains the patch from here:

Is there anyway I can watch replayed games before they go into the archive, or do I have to wait for the archive to update, games now show up there but it's just 2 days behind.

Interesting. Thank you very much.

Last season it took a few hours for the archived and condensed games to show up in NHL Vault. I still hope this is just a temporary issue. For now you have to watch them on the website or on any of the officially supported devices.

Fish, I am also seeing some crashes on a fresh frodo RC3 i installed just to try the plugin on my laptop (my htpcs are still running eden).

I did not worry too much about it as I figured it was an XBMC bug.

Can you tell me any more about this? I held out on installing Frodo for the longest time hoping that it would go final before the season started (I worked as a QA tester so don't get excited about beta testing anymore!) but had to bite the bullet and install on my main (and only) media PC in the end. I haven't seen the bug manifest elsewhere yet, but then I haven't really been using anything other than the Gamecenter plugin so far. That said, it's currently trawling my extensive library and rebuilding the database. Is this likely to be happening all the time? And/or is it caused by anything specific?

Thanks a lot.

Fish, When browsing around the plugin on several occasions I just got dumped back to desktop. I didn't bother investigating. Its XBMC RC3 on Windows 7.

I just updated the addon. Condensed and archived games work again:

0.4.1
- Fixed archived and condensed games for season 2012/2013
- Added support for 4500 kbit/s streams

If you set "Video Quality (HTTP)" to "Best" it always chooses the best video quality available (only works in Frodo) unless you have set an internet connection bandwidth limitation in XBMC that is lower than the best video quality available.

Just wanted to say I really appreciate you making and keeping this add-on up to date. Thanks!

[K's Logic]

Thanks Carb0! Quality is great, but I still can't seem to get (what seems to be) 60 fps again. Anyone have any idea why one game would be in 60 fps but the rest in 30?

[TangoKilo]

Thank you Carb0!! Just set this up, and it is working beautifully.

[micahg]

They might just be testing.

[djrichoe]

All was working beautifully for me since the start of the season, today It seem to be having buffering issues every 3 to 4 minutes. Im on Win 7- Frodo RC 3. and since i was on an older version 0.3.9 (still having buffering) I updated to Version 0.4.1. anyone else having buffering issues?

[Carb0]

Thanks Carb0! Quality is great, but I still can't seem to get (what seems to be) 60 fps again. Anyone have any idea why one game would be in 60 fps but the rest in 30?

The 4500 kbit/s streams are in 60 fps. When watching a stream press "o" on the keyboard. On the second line it says "...1280x720) P(fr:59.940...Mb/s: 4.00" and on the last line it should say somewhere "fps:59.94" and "refresh:60".

[micahg]

So, has anyone seen any live games at 60fps? If they are out there, ping the list -- I'd like to check it out.
