Trying to load Live games today I'm getting script failure messages (Condensed and Archived are fine). The log shows:

Hi, I have just started having a problem yesterday. I try to start the add-on, but keep getting "Check your login credentials". I have re-entered them several times.

You need to enter your username. It doesn't work if you enter your email address.

I disabled generate thumbnails and it now works. Should I be able to load thumbnails at all?

You don't have the Python Image Library (PIL) installed that's why you're getting the script failure messages. You can generate the thumbnails on a different computer and move them over to your Raspberry Pi. The thumbnails are stored in the addon folder.

Not sure what is happening. Plug-in was working fine, now when I try to go to a live game I click on home/away and then nothing happens. Don't know if it is related but project free tv takes forever to load the lists of movies, but after I get it loaded and click on a movie it plays fine. Any idea? I completely re-installed XBMC and all add-ons. Running on a computer with XBMCubuntu

[Carb0]

Livestreams are working fine for me.

[spraggeth]

You don't have any ideas for me to try? It just won't load live games. Can watch classic. Any help would be great.

By the way this is an awesome add-on. I love watching hockey but hate cable and you made it worth getting gamecenter. Thanks bro.

[Carb0]

Make sure that you have the newest version of XBMC installed (Frodo). It helps sometimes to load the list of condensed games first and then go back to the live game section. If that doesn't help, reinstall the addon and if that still doesn't help, look at the XBMC log or post it here. Maybe there are some clues in the log why livestreams aren't working.

Hi Carb0,

Why do archived games take longer to show up on the xbmc addon? For example, i wanted to watch the Canes vs Flyers game today which finished about 5hrs ago. The android app and gcl website have the game replay available but the addon doesn't show it? No big problem but wondering why its not showing recently finished games?

Cheers :-D

I am running Frodo. I tried to load the list of condensed games first, and I tried reinstalling the addon (and loading the list of condensed games first after reinstalling). The log shows this:

I am curious. Maybe I'm missing something. I have Apple TV, which already has NHL gamecenter. Why would I put gamecenter on a jailbroken apple tv via xbmc if I need an account to log in. As far as I can see, you're paying for the account anyway, and its already installed on Apple TV.im sure I'm missing something, just not smart enough to figure it out

Some people are running XBMC on devices that don't have access to NHL Game center. For instance, I am running a raspberry pi and this add on allows me to watch NHL Gamecenter.

[Carb0]

The addon scrapes the NHL Vault and the NHL is very slow in updating it this season. That's why it takes longer to update.

[brick], enable "Show Home/Away Dialog (Live Games)" in the addon settings if you have disabled it, it doesn't work with live games anymore.

Only a minority of XBMC users have an Apple TV. This addon is for the people that use XBMC on a platform that doesn't have native Gamecenter app.

Sweet, that fixed it for me, thanks!

Carb0,

Would it be possible to create a setting to have it ask which bandwidth to use when you pick a game? This should be off by default of course, but it would be handy for me instead of going back to the config tool all the time to change it. I often change it due to the game being laggy/buffering, that said tongiht, it is good!

Yes here too. How i can fix this problem? I start XBMC very often, start the Plugin often, but the game is not showing?

[AlexOvechkin]

I always get this message when I want to log in: 'Check your login credentials'

I tried my NHL.com Screen Name, eMail Adress and eMail Adress without '@....'

Please help me.
