If the video is choppy your internet connection is not fast enough to watch the video at the chosen bitrate or the servers are not fast enough because too many people are watching the game. Try to change the bitrate in addon settings.

Does it show an error message when you click on higlights, condensed or archive?

What do you get if you enter this link in a browser? (Replace USERNAME and PASSWORD with your username and password)

Thanks for your reply. I haven't had time to check out any games lately but currently watching the VAN STL game after switching the bitrate to 1600 and it seems to stream fine.

As for logging in with username and password, I wasn't prompted to at any point. Not sure if that has anything to do with the highlights, archives or condensed. I still don't see any content under those three categories. And there's no error message when I click on any of those links.

thrillerbee, i was having the same issue with the "check your login credentials", I actually went to the NHL gamecenter site and changed my password. In XBMC, instead of adding my email as the login, I used my actual login name and the changed password was able to access gamecenter.

Wow... what a simple fix. I was using my email to log in. Although that works on the website, it obviously doesn't work here. Using my "screen name" worked.

Thanks!

I updated the addon. I hope it fixes the problems with live streams.

@flameboy54
Did you update to 0.2.X? You may have to copy the extracted addon folder manually if "Install from zip file" doesn't work.

When you say copy the extracted addon folder manually, where am i copying it to?

Currently getting the same error as one of the users above "Script Error; gamecenter.py". Where do I find the logs for this?

thanks

Copy the extracted plugin folder in the addon folder of XBMC. Path:

Windows XP: Documents and Settings\<your_user_name>\Application Data\XBMC\addons\
Vista/Windows 7: Users\<your_user_name>\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\
Mac OS X: /Users/<your_user_name>/Library/Application Support/XBMC/addons/
iOS: /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/addons/
Linux: $HOME/.xbmc/addons/

Currently getting the same error as one of the users above "Script Error; gamecenter.py". Where do I find the logs for this?

thanks

thanks.

At first I have to give very big thanks for the plugin! However I couldn't install it

Do you guys know why? When trying to install from zip nothing happens. I tried to install other addons too and they installed just fine without problems.

I updated the addon. The update fixes a login bug that was only present in 0.2.1.

I don't know why it doesn't work for you. It works fine for me. Try to install the addon manually i.e. extract both zip files and copy the folders in the addon folder of XBMC.

The new version installed without any problems. Maybe my zip was corrupted or something. But now I got problems with live games as they won't launch. Archived games works just fine.

Newbie question: I register, pay and than i can watch?

[Carb0]

The new version installed without any problems. Maybe my zip was corrupted or something. But now I got problems with live games as they won't launch. Archived games works just fine.

Live games don't work in Dharma, because HTTP streams are not supported and live games are only available as HTTP streams. Sorry. If you want to watch live games you have to update to Eden.

Newbie question: I register, pay and than i can watch?

Yes.

[sam.appletv]

Hello,
I'm a die hard hockey fan and would love to have this on my ATV2 (I have the new eden version).
In order to get the live nhl games, do I just pay for 1 month and then with the username and password, it's free after that or do I have to pay for the whole period of time I want to get the live nhl games? I would love to have something in which I get free NHL games (i used to use the sportsdevil add on to get free sports on my ATV2 but it's no longer working)

please let me know
thanks
Sam

[Carb0]

I think it's only possible to subscribe for the whole season. And it isn't possible to watch the games for free.

More information is availble on this page:
https://gamecenter.nhl.com/nhlgc/secure/gclsignup

[sam.appletv]

your add on is for sure really cool but it would be really good to get it for free I did manage to get one add on called hockeystreams on my atv2 as that one is pretty good (better than game center in my opinion). Hockey streams is much cheaper though.. just saying this as I'm trying to save you some money.. man would it ever be nice to get all this stuff for free hehe

[Carb0]

I think hockeystreams.com is illegal. And I rather pay a bit more for the official service. But I agree that it would be nice if there was a free alternative.
