Guys, a few things:
- Please, don't post links to streams in this thread.
- I don't want any donations.
- Don't expect live games to work again.
- The videoplayback was better than in some of the official apps because XBMC is a great videoplayer, not because I have mad coding skills.

So its official, live games won't work again? This plugin was amazing, got around that "out-of-network" games crap and i could watch any game i wanted. I hope you find a way of getting it working again.

I'm working on getting this active again - Updates later tonight.

Check this out http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=151248 - Honestly I just can't get it to work, I've tried just about anything. We need a custom build for XBMC or there might be another solution that wouldn't need a custom User Agent.

Carb0, have you tried to use RTMP streams for the live games yet? This may be the method to go for, if this one isn't working yet.

really blows that they've gone for blocking this. luckily i still have an xbox i can my games on.

Thanks for the good times carb0. Let me know if i can help in anyway. i'll keep poking around and following hyperium to see if we figure anything out.

are they blocking the live streams only? I ask since the Vancouver vs SJ game from 10 October does not work. Simply shows 'working' and the spinning wheel then returns to the menu. Either feed, any quality.

They are blocking user agents specifically. If we can get a build of XBMC with a mobile user agent that's compatible we can use the addon fine. XBMC has an issue with passing the User Agent after it's downloaded a file and has to load a link directly after. Either we get a custom version of XBMC that will work with that problem or if someone knows a specific command that is able to pass the user agent to the m3u8.key file. It's literally all about the preservation of the UA.

An example is - .m3u8 is downloaded (iphone UA) - It see's it needs to load .m3u8.key and then it defaults back to ( XBMC UA ).

That's the task - if anyone is willing to give it a try.

Shouldn't it be fairly easy to set up an on-the-box proxy that edits the UA before the request is made? I know for a fact Fiddler can do this.

Got it!!!!!!!

Step 1 : Download Fiddler and Proxifier - Use the custom UA "AppleTV/2.4" in Fiddler

Step 2 : In Proxifier Create a profile with an HTTP proxy of 127.0.0.1 and a port of 8888

Enjoy!

Just to reiterate - This is working on Windows, nothing else at the moment.

For more of a permanent fix, here is a Fiddler trace of the PS3's communication with the NHL servers. Their stream is definitely not cut up or encoded. Hopefully carb0 can make a permanent fix with this. https://www.dropbox.com/s/1omirapruvi04et/ps3.saz

On a quick Google search, this won't work for my RPi as Fiddler is Windows only, correct?

Interesting, I hope he check this out and switches to these instead. I like this idea much better.

Unfortunately not, which is why we're gonna look for another way

The ps3 captured data you posted.

---These streams may not be encrypted, however they still require the custom UA---

I just thought about it - Since they aren't encrypted they don't need to reload the m3u8.key file therefore the UA would pass through fine.

Alright. For want it's worth I really appreciate all the time you guys are all putting into this!

Ditto - great to see progress being made. Thanks to all those messing around and throwing brain power at this.

A big thank you from me too…all the way from Scotland!
