Its just sucks whe you drop $160 on a subscription to watch your team and if youhave a good team you like to watch, then about 20-25 games are blacked out, which I think is bullshit.

I agree.

Bring that up with the NHL and their blackout restrictions... In my opinion this add-on should not circumvent any of their restrictions.

P.S. I am in the same boat as a Rangers fan, and I cannot get NHL network unless I pony up more money to Time Warner, which I refuse to do. There are other ways around the blackouts, which I also feel should not be discussed here.

You're entitled to your opinion as am I.

Opinion or not, the blackout restrictions are known before the subscription is purchased. If not that's in the purchaser for not reading the fine print.

[rbrohman]

I cut cable a while back. Use mlb tv, NFL game pass and NHL Game center subscriptions to get far more games for less yearly than I was paying for cable.

Yes, the local blackouts are annoying. But that's an issue with the leagues, not the addons.

[eracknaphobia]

Carb0, are you going to add the new 5000kb/s bitrate? (Not that there is going to be a huge difference)

I believe he is already using the 5k streams

Code:

#Quality settings
            if QUALITY == 4 or 'bestquality' in url:
                if "live" in url:#fix needed to download the key below
                    m3u8URL = m3u8URL.replace('_ced.', '_5000_ced.')
            elif QUALITY == 3 or '5000K' in url:
                m3u8URL = m3u8URL.replace('_ced.', '_5000_ced.')
            elif QUALITY == 2 or '3000K' in url:
                m3u8URL = m3u8URL.replace('_ced.', '_3000_ced.')
            elif QUALITY == 1 or '1600K' in url:
                m3u8URL = m3u8URL.replace('_ced.', '_1600_ced.')
            else:
                m3u8URL = m3u8URL.replace('_ced.', '_800_ced.')

Juggie - I live in Colorado therefore Altitude broadcasts the games locally, so I am shit out of luck on that one. Also I am aware of using the NBCS Live add-on, it works very good. But I am talking about the games on NHL Network (which you can't even find HD streams of anymore) and local.

Other than that the add-on is working fine. Thanks Carb0

Can you post a log? If you still get an error, it's a different issue.

I never said the restrictions weren't known. I simply agreed with the point about not liking it.

[jayace]

I just cannot get my devices to update. Even when I do the "check for updates" through settings/ addons it just won't update. What am I doing wrong?

[bino]

Any chance to have "french" choice for Quebec, Canada viewer? We have this option on NHL website.
Huge ty for this addon!

Do you have carbo's repository installed? Do the check updates/force refreah on his repo rather that on the actual addon

[Carb0]

Did you try "Force refresh"? "Check for updates" is sometimes not enough.

[brainjfk]

How do we add your repo Carb0?

[rbrohman]

Repo zip is linked at bottom of first post in this thread.
