Short description.
On UFC.tv you can purchase fights legally from the UFC so this is an official thing not some behind-the-scenes-sketchy kind of thing. Uses RTMP and mp4, the player is a flashplayer on the site.

Goal.
To be able to login using the addon and watch free videos + any purchased videos. Purchase might have to be done using a browser unless someone can figure out how to do it using the addon.

Notes.
I've not yet managed to use rtmpdump to access any of the videos even the free ones, been doing some dumps with wireshark but no progress yet. I will be more then happy to help with debugging and testing.

Debugging trying to play a free video:

deegan@lappy:~$ rtmpdump -r rtmp://cp117209.edgefcs.net/ondemand/mp4:s/ufc/vod/vol1/20120813/ufc-151-jones-pre-interview.dsk_400.mp4 -o foo -V

+1 for this

[legolator]

Added some debug info. Maybe someone can help out? We got people who are lots better than me on coding python and dissecting json.

Any news on this? I also use ufc.tv and would be awesome if we had this

[wolfbiker]

bought a roku so i could buy fights. would prefer to use my xbmc box.

[adam_purkis]

this sounds like a great idea! unfortunately no coding knowledge, but just bumping the thread, hopefully somebody will be able to help you out

[wolfbiker]

surprised there's not more interest in this! i'm using my iphone to airplay the post fight press conferences to my xbmc but would obviously prefer to access videos directly from xbmc itself.

I agree, I would like this -- however, you can use the youtube plugin to watch the live now feed of the post/pre/ fight press conferences, weigh ins, and im pretty sure you would be able to use the UFC Youtube purchase and play it on xbmc as well. I think it is about 10$ more though than the ufc.tv feed unfortunately.

But this is an alternative that will probably work for you for now.

I have been trying to watch other live streams (lacrosse) on YouTube, but I am getting an error that the video doesn't exist. Are you just using it out of the box to get the UFC live stream?

[wolfbiker]

The XBMC YouTube app isn't the same as using the site, I don't think you can browse to a specific user and view their videos and purchase an event like you can using a browser.

I have XBMC (OpenELEC) running from a USB thumb drive, so ended up installing a hard drive with Windows in my computer so I could view UFC streams that way.

Did anyone ever build an official UFC tv kodi addon? I can't find one, all I find are addons for pirate streams. I have a UFC account and would like something to watch on kodi.
