Carb0, so what is new then that causes the stream to stop playing after a few minutes?

How would custom m3u8 files help this?

I think the cookie changes and XBMC always uses the initial cookie even when the response from the server contains a new cookie.

The idea is to create a server in python that acts as a middlemen between XBMC and the NHL servers. When XBMC requests the m3u8 file from the local server, the local server downloads the real m3u8 file and the keys and creates a new m3u8 file with URLs to the locally saved keys and URLs to the video files on the NHL server. XBMC can then download the video files directly from the NHL servers (these files are not protected) and decrypt them with the locally saved keys.

So Rogers logins won't work (we have a free preview until Dec. 31, 2014 if you are an Internet / phone customer of theirs, which I am). I did get that to work on the PS3 app, but not on an Android box running XBMC connected to another TV.

Rogers logins should work in the next update.
