I have just finalized the first version, v1.0.0, of my NFL Videos addon. It plays videos from all sites for the 32 teams in the NFL. For now you can get it from GitHub, I would like to hear if anybody experience any problems with it before submitting it to the repository:
https://github.com/Tenzer/plugin.video.n...v1.0.1.zip
One of the non-optimal things I have noticed, it that some of the videos buffer for a long time before starting. It seems to be because the CDN hosting the videos tell XBMC the file is 2 GB large, which it really isn't, so XBMC starts to download the file and expects to download a whole lot more than what the video actually fills. I don't know of any way I can improve on this, so the workaround I have been using is to press "Play" when the video has been buffering for a bit and then it works just fine.
I would like to know if any of you experience a lot of buffering during the video watching, as I have tried to make the addon play videos in the highest quality possible. This means it will go up to around 3 Mbit for the 720p streams. I didn't experience issues with this myself, but if it is a problem for other people, I might consider making a setting to limit the maximum quality of the streams.
Other than that I hope you like it!
