Tried the only 2 US Open events on now and it's working flawlessly. I don't have this issue on my other systems running OpenELEC. I'll bookmark this for future reference. Thanks for your help!
Happy to help. Luckily this happened to me a few months ago so I already knew how to fix it.
Thanks for the rep bump!

Thanks for the quick response. I changed the user data file and it's working. Now, I did change providers 2 months ago, I use the faster TWC. What is the affiliate name for TWC in the user data file in case CB stops working?
Thanks!
I have TWC internet only and use 'twc_sso' for the affiliate name. I'm not able to watch any of the HLS streams though, only the HDS and RTMP streams. Sadly, it seems that ESPN is transitioning almost everything to the HLS format.

I can use a browser on my laptop and go to watchESPN and login by selecting DirecTV in the drop down box for "Provider", and it seems to bounce me to the Directv login site where I provide my Directv account login information (email and password). It works fine on the laptop. However, it doesn't work on Kodi/ESPN3.
I see that there is a "userdata.xml" in the ..\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\userdata\addon_data\plugin.video.espn_3 directory.
Can I add the provider and account information to that file to make this work? Or does the ESPN3 app assume that the internet provider is the ESPN provider?
If this condition is allowed, what do I put where in the userdata.xm file?
Follow steps 2 & 4 on this page to see how to modify your existing userdata.xml file. Try using 'directtv' or directtv_sso' for your affiliate name.
If you need to create a new userdata.xml file, go to this page while logged in to the WatchESPN site, then save the page as userdata.xml (no caps) and edit as needed.
I will review the references, but wanted to add that I thought about trying going to WatchESPN on my Kodibuntu PC using the browser to see if I could login and watch ESPN3 the same as I could on my Macbook Pro. However, I could not get thru the login process or at least it fails immediately after that with an Unknown error. Would that be expected because of a missing library that Kodi can get around?

Since a lot of the examples are based on Windows usage, I went to the Windows 7 PC and installed Kodi and the ESPN3 add-in. I used the information in the link
this page to get the SWID and edit the userdata.xml file. Still not working. Below is my userdata as last tried, but with the SWID redacted. I also tried "directv", "directtv", "directv_sso', and "directtv_sso:
No luck so far.
