FYI I tested it last night with the workaround on Windows 8.1 and everything worked great. Of course it is not ideal as other apps fail to stream till I close down those 2 programs but it is for sure a valid workaround.

The official status of this add-on:
- Archived/condensed games work on all platforms
- Live games work on Linux/OSX
- Live games work on Windows with a workaround (please note that the workarounds may break archived/condensed games and other add-ons as long as Fiddler and Proxifier are running)
- The fix for live games that was implemented in the latest version of the add-on is just temporary. Apok is trying to fix the bug in XBMC. And juggie is working on a more elegant temporary fix that works on Windows too.
- It's possible that the stuttering that some people experience is caused by the temporary fix. Usually it's just a 'bad' feed and can be fixed by switching between the home and away feeds.
I don't have much time to work on the add-on right now. Don't count on an update anytime soon.

There are 72 pages in this thread...and it's kind of hard to keep up on all of the posts.
The plugin was downloaded from page 1 but when I try to run it, it says check your log in credentials

Carb0, finally had some time to sit down and look at this. It looks like (in Gotham builds anyways) the key request is proxied properly with the User-Agent from the m3u8. I had a proxy in the way that was preventing this method from working on my first pass... so there's nothing to fix.
I think people will just need to wait for proper builds to move to if they want to have it working nicely.

Great. I updated the add-on. It should automatically use the "|User-Agent=" method in Gotham and the old fix in Frodo.
0.5.6
- Fixed live games in Gotham (all platforms)
- Changed minimum API for python to 2.1

Will this address the issue where things occasionally crash? I typically have a crash out once or twice per game (I think when the key file is being written and read at the same time?)
