Is anyone having trouble getting the replay menus to populate? Live works great... can't even see replay options.
EDIT: It looks like http://espn3.passportproject.org is no longer in existence. Anyone have valid URLs that work?
EDIT 2: It looks like http://espn.go.com/espn3/feeds/replay contains the necessary info... now to chop it down...

BlakeM,
That works great. In fact, amazing quality. Thank you kindly!
thrillerbee,
Here is a link to the unmodified python code from Boxee where the Replays appear just fine (unmodified in that it does not have my SWID, etc). Funny thing on Boxee the Live events don't work. I can live with 2 solutions. I am beside myself at just how good the quality it.

I would love to see the other watchespn.com channels (ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU) integrated. Also, if anyone can advise me on how I might make use of the replay data (XML) to re-create the lists of replay items, I'd really love to keep this in XBMC. I'm not a fan of boxee on Linux...
Thanks.
hosting scripts. - locomot1f - 2011-09-23
if anyone out there wants to hosts the scripts on their server to share with everyone else, just PM me. I'll give you what you need.
You will need the following:
Code:
[LIST]
[*]MySQL
[*]Perl with the following -- XML::Generator::DBI; XML::SAX::Writer; XML::XPath::XMLParser; LWP::Simple; XML::XPath;
[*]Webserver (it was setup with Apache)
[/LIST]i also have the scripts up on my googlecode space for people to download. You will need to download all five scripts. If you need explanation, just send me a PM.

Do you leave it named streams.py and drop it into your ESPN3 addons folder?

That's a Boxee script.

Ok, Thanks. I use Apple TV2 and Mac OSX Lion. The previous default.py scripts worked perfect for Live streams with my ID and SWID. Does anyone know how to get the replays to work?
- novadar - 2011-09-23
ronmcse,
That is the Boxee plugin. I don't think it will work in XBMC because it references some Boxee source files. It does have a pretty nice UI however.
locomot1f,
What type of load was http://espn3.passportproject.org experiencing? I may have an option for hosting but only if it is not going to be incessantly pounded.
- novadar - 2011-09-23
ronmcse,
The replays are dead because the server providing the XML feeds to decode the events is gone.
locomot1f asked the community if someone could host it. Looking on my end.
- novadar - 2011-09-23
Just as a mea culpa, I only posted the Boxee code to perhaps fasttrack a python developer to create a structure in or related to default.py which would only rely on the ESPN URLs directly. As long as we have this dependency on an external server this type of "blackout" will likely occur again.

The load is not that huge at all. I didn't even notice it when running on the server i was using. The script itself takes about 1:30 - 2:00 minutes to run through the xml file and populate the database. I was having the script run every 45 minutes. the script is setup to delete the database and then repopulate it each time. there isn't a huge amount of users privy to this add-on, so the load on the web server was pretty insignificant.
there was a guy in Russia running the script on his server. but since the recent past events, he's stopped running it.
hope this helps.

The Replay lists are once again populating and http://espn3.passportproject.org is back.
Just tested play back of NCAAF - NC State vs. Cincinnati from last night.
- locomot1f - 2011-09-23
yeah, it's back. but since i don't maintain it. i can't say for how long.....
may take a while for the site to completely propagate through the internet.
- hunkyn - 2011-09-24
hello how do we get the live stream feed for sportscenter also in the add-on? when i go online i see those too but sometimes it is easier to have everything on xbmc so i do not have to go back and forth.
Thanks

I have been on vacation for the last 2 weeks. When I am back in the next couple of days, I will fix the addon so you will be able to enter your affiliate id and SWID in the actual preferences. That should make it easier for most people.
