It is more like TFC is letting a list of known browser user-agent pass and blocks also some HTTP headers like “Icy-MetaData” that is unfortunately used by FFmpeg.

TFC addon works on my android box for now with remote keyboard/mouse. But interface is designed for touchscreen that's why it is pretty hard to navigate.
More power to cmik!

Hello guys,
Gusto ko lang ishare yung temporary solution ko para makapanood ng TFC sa TV with almost the same as KODI. Kudos talaga to CMIK. I'm a big fan and I can't wait until you find the resolution for this TFC update that stopped us from watching in KODI. I believe since the first time you were able to figure out that its possible to play TFC in KODI then I am very confident that you will get this one too. Just take your time bro. Have a beer and you'll get it.
Anyways, yung temporary solution ko watching TFC is via yung Chromecast on TV. If you guys have it then its easy to figure out. To those who don't then bili na kayo ng Chromecast. Its only $30 bucks (or even $20 in letgo) and it so worth it afterwards. Just make sure you have HDMI port in your TV.
Anyways, just setup your Chromecast at your TV with your same home wifi (google it how) then once you have it setup then download GOOGLE CHROME. Then login to your TFC.TV account. Then once you are able to play a video after that stupid ad (I dont know why the need. We are paying premium and we still get ads) then "mute" the volume when ads (it will be louder than TFC.). Then once the show is playing then you will find 3 dots on the right corner of Chrome browser. Click the 3 dots then go to "CAST" then lalabas yung name ng Chromecast nyo then click it to connect. Then you'll notice na nagmirror yung desktop/laptop nyo sa Chromecast then let it run for a bit after 30-45secs it will show its now casting to your TV. Then voila!! You will now have same quality as your machine via Chromecast. It will do a full screen afterwards. If not then just click the arrows on the boottom screen then magfufull screen na sya. No slowness issue or pixelated. Only problem now is when you close your Chrome browser then Chrome will disconnect as well.
So I advise to let your desktop or laptop running. So it wont go to Sleep Mode.
I hope this helps to anyone that is willing to try. FYI, follow me at facebook at Jayp Punkkey or my JAMStudioTO page. We support fully OPM bands and hiphop in Toronto, Canada.

Sorry if this is a silly question but if they are blocking curl and ffmpeg user agents can't we just pass a user agent option?
curl -A "UserAgentString"
ffmpeg -user-agent "UserAgentString"
is it possible to implement this in your kodi addon or is it more complicated than that?

TFC.TV also does not work on linux either now even firefox. Even in windows it only works on 1 of my 3 browsers. It seems they are being very rude about there behavior. I am also using raspberry pi so right now my pi is useless. I worry about having to recompile things since it wont work for windows linux android raspberry pi I think it will be fixed for 1 and not others. I don't know how to setup a way to actively strip these headers in linux. This issue is very upsetting since I pay my money and they perpousely are trying to screw there customers now. I don't want to have to boot up a very power hungry computer ever time I want to watch tfc. That is the whole reason I have the raspberry pi it's very light weight low power quiet and runs kodi perfectly.
