Couple of questions: have you tried the default.py that was posted by locomot1f, and if so, does that give you similar results? What does the networks node of this page look like on your laptop once you've logged in? http://espn.go.com/watchespn/player/config

Is there a PLEX addon that works for ESPN/ESPN2 or just ESPN3?

Plex works for ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU and as far as I can tell ESPN 3 Live Events only.

I managed to work through some contortions to get it work for me and I get to ESPN via a Comcast off-network login.

That effort convinced me it is definitely possible to get the XBMC ESPN plugin to work for "WatchESPN". I don't quite know where to start but essentially we need the following.

1) The script right now will display all the channels and their events if you enable those channels in the config.

2) The login information from the config could be passed to the calling function in a two-phase approach. When I load these manually the process works as follows:

a) The user is presented with a choice of providers --- this interaction could be satisfied by the "Provider" setting in the config
b) Then in my case since my external provider is Comcast -- a handshake happens with an Adobe page branded with Comcast Xfinity. On this page I enter my credentials. --- this interaction could be satisfied by pulling the login/pwd values form the config.

4) When the handshake is validated the second window closes and the original WatchESPN window comes back branded "Xfinity" and the video starts playing.

I am interested in investing some time to make this work and get the sense that many of elements needed are already in the code. I just need to understand the sequencing needed in the script and how to invoke the elements needed for it work successfully (Provider and UID/PWD).

Does anyone have pointers or a know of tutorial that spells this stuff out?

Yeah, I forgot to mention that I was using the default.py that locomot1f posted. Here's the node page:

If the ESPN addon for PLEX works, you might not need to go through all of that. Plex is a fork of XBMC, so there may be a way to port that plugin to XBMC instead (it's never that easy) - at the very least, the code for that plugin is probably a good place to start. Can you provide a link to the plugin you are using?

if you are not able to get streams to work, then there is something else going on.
i believe you still need a custom userdata.xml file with your swid
