I think there's a bug here in the XBMC code (the version i mentioned a few posts back). You should be able to pass an m3u8 file directly to DVDPlayer and have it use ffmpeg right away. It looks like it tries to start playback by cURL-ing the playlist, and then the first file (this code is not ffmpeg). Playback doesn't start because the file is encrypted - but if it did, ffmpeg would take care of the rest (refreshing the playlist) behind the hood like it used to. At least your code will work for all versions that support decryption.

Thanks for the fix Carb0. Just out of curiosity has anyone ever approached the NFL, NHL or NBA on having these types of add-ons officially supported or at least to establish some sort of working relationship so add-on developers like Carb0 can be made aware of changes and have the opportunity to fix add-ons before changes are made?

I just updated to add-on:

0.5.5
- Fixed live games (thanks to Hyperium)

I wasn't able to test it on different platforms but it should work on every platform. I don't know how reliable the new method is but I was able to watch the first period of the game between Colorado and Washington without any issues yesterday.

It would be cool if you could write a fix for this. Contributing to XBMC code is way over the top of my head.

No. Maybe there will be an official add-on some day but they will never establish some sort of working relationship with one of the developers. This add-on will always be a hack and can break any day.

Thank you for the fix! I will be trying it out tonight.

Im curious, what user-agent did you end up using? Android, ATV, iPad?

I think the ATV one would be best in case they ever restrict certain stream qualities to certain devices.

I updated this morning and am unable to play archived or condensed games. Haven't tried a live game yet, but will shortly.

I'm running on a Raspberry Pi running Raspbmc as the OS.

Happy to provide more details if any are needed. Will report back what I encounter when trying a live game.

Carb0 · 2013-10-13, 18:53

I looks like live games it don't work on Windows. I'll try to fix that.

Thanks Carb0, Condensed/Archive games work great. I'll wait till there is a game on to test live. OS X 10.9 w/ XBMC 13.

danny2k · 2013-10-13, 19:01

well one is starting right now

Rando · 2013-10-13, 19:09

Live games appear to be working on raspberry pi with raspbmc. Condensed and archived still not workong (obviously live is the priority).

Thanks for the quick fix Smile

Is it just me or anyone else have buffering problem? Buffering about every 10 seconds, ipad and xbmc with latest gamecenter addon.

Cheers Carb0!

My RPi running OpenElec is streaming the Coyotes/Canes game beautifully!

Swiper the Fox · 2013-10-13, 19:33

works great once again in XBMCBUNTU
after using Roku for one day , you appreciate this add-on much more when
yeah, picture quality is about same as this, but .......... this add-on is much faster going through games/menus etc..

THANKS Carb0 and everyone else who contributed ideas to get this back up again

WeirdG · 2013-10-13, 19:35

Running Win8 with Frodo. I also have the 0.5.5 addon installed. Condensed and Archived games work. Live games are still not working. Thanks for all the time and work you put into this add-on Carb0. It's much appreciated.
