Interesting, I must've missed that part. Although, I'm also not a python coder so I don't know 100% of what I'm looking at. And to the guy who has the stutter, I would guess if the stopping and starting follows an exact pattern, for example every 'x's amount of time, I would assume that would be the cause.

If you take a look at def LIVELINKS(..) you can see the m3u8 file is downloaded using the download function, then a timer is started to expire in 10 seconds. Inside that function there is logic to write the m3u8 and then set the time for another 10 seconds. This loop of every 10 seconds continues as long as video is being played back and will stop when you are not.

I'd rather let the far end server do what it is supposed to do and provide the m3u8 when ever xbmc chooses to request it. All we have to do to fix the unfortunate issue is act as a middle man so that we can ensure the proper User-Agent is passed on the request for the .key file.

Has anyone submitted a bug to the bug tracker for this? The exact issue is that while you can pass |User-Agent=foo on to the xbmc player. It does not pass User-Agent=foo when it does the request for the key which it reads from the m3u8.
