Hi, I've recently started using this addon - and when it works, it's excellent.
I'm a comcast user and do not have an NBCSN subscription. However, the the free content appears to largely work. What fails is some of the Replay videos (I haven't tried live). All the videos that fail start with a commercial when I view them using the NBC Sports Live Extra app on my phone or tablet. All the ones that work on the addon do not start with a commercial.
After installing the addon, I tried to access some non-free content to force my Kodi box to be authorized - this appeared to work fine. I then watched some content from featured and clips - all of the ones I tried worked fine. Accessing video under replay - specifically full Premiership rugby matches, only allowed me to watch 2-3 month old games, and not the less than 1 month old game. Viewing the same on my tablet, the only difference was presence of a commercial before the game - the 2-3 month old games didn't have a commercial.
Looking at the logs I see - for the old games
and for matches with a commercial at the start
The difference appears to be accessing the commercial - when it fails a playlist is provided and the video is not found, when it works, the actual link to the video itself is found - which works.
In terms of config - its pretty much default, all I've changed is "Show only free content" and I've filtered the displayed videos to just F1 and Rugby.
I've tested this with both the version of the addon from Kodi repository as well as from Erack's repository, as well as with "Best Stream" set and unset - same outcome in all configurations.
Any ideas on how I can fix this?
Thanks
Alan
