Actually, you can. But more than two will most likely get your SWID banned.

Can some1 explain why everyone's ESPN account says "not a TWC Subscriber blah blah" and can you ssh and change this? I've tried everything. But I can only watch ESPN 3 everything was fine a week ago.

Macpatto Wrote:WildBill..
I went to the epn3.go.com site then I used the link you provide me. I get a Guest user and an swid..
But, When I change it on the default.py and got to add on it keeps giving me an error...
Maybe I am not putting in the correct place.. Can you care to direct me where to?
Thanks for your help!.

Hey Macpatto, how did you get you SWID? Since I'm from Canada too, my provider is not on the list of espn.

thanks

I use http://www.unblock-us.com/ to get access espn and i have to use the old default.py at [HTML]http://www.mediafire.com/?9lcrl67vcy6bzif[/HTML] someone posted in earlier post. New 0.9.4 default.py does not work for me

Hey there all,

I have been chipping away at an ESPN3 plugin for a while now and decided to release it, and with the help of Bluecop & locomot1f have made it really nice.

With that said, I will be poking at it further as we go along here to make it better. To Download add BlueCop's Repo

.8.3 Release
1) Added ability to set live and recorded stream quality via addon settings (If you are having problems with it exiting on a livestream try setting the quality lower)


.7 Release
1) Moved to BlueCops repo (Add his repo or force refresh it to see it)
2) Added Replay by Sport (breaks down replays by sport)
3) Cleaned up some debugging code
4) Moved over to locomot1f xml hosting for replay's to speed up the loading
5) Other stuff I am sure I am forgetting.


.6 Release
1) Updated icons thanks to igotdvds
2) Added Day sections to Upcoming and Replay sections
3) Still working on sorting and replacing the replay section with something that loads faster



.5.1 Release
1) Bugfix for some leagues that were not working



.5 Release
1) No longer requires a browser but instead plays inside XBMC - Massive props go to Bluecop for helping decode the insane video feeds espn uses, if you ever see the man in real life buy him some beer or anything else he wants
2) Some streams appear to not work I am still investigating why
3) Slow loading on the Upcoming and Replay pages due to the xml file being so big
4) The Live feed quality is set automatically
5) You can set the quality of the replay videos through the preferences, by default its set to medium.
6) Time Warner (an ISP that requires a login) seems to work, no idea for other logins I can only test it here with Time Warner
7) More cleanup of the code will be coming and I need a repository to put it in.
8) If you have an ISP that for some reason doesnt work, I left the ability to launch the url into a browser in place, just go to the addon settings and unselect "watch in XBMC"




.1 alpha release
1) REQUIRES A BROWSER (Chrome or Firefox)
2) Browser must not be open before running the first time
3) Will use either firefox or chrome set by the settings (have to type in chrome or firefox currently) in default locations
4) Slow loading on the Upcoming and Replay pages due to the xml file being so big
5) Will not go full screen until you navigate and click fullscreen on the browser
6) Ion processors dont seem to be able to handle the load of the ESPN3 feed for some reason, especially when the browser and XBMC are running at the same time only get the crappiest quality (no idea how to get around this)
7) If you are somewhere that requires a login (remote login or time warner style login, use the browser to login one time and then use the addon it should work)
8) You will often while launching get a "Playback Failed" while launching, that is normal and ignore it

Download and extract in your addons directory.

Comments and thoughts welcome.

I remote connect for ESPN2 and all that, otherwise I'm on Frontier and that page still shows Frontier, even though I've got my TimeWarner stuff synced and can view all channels in the browser, just not in the app.


- DJ24966 - 2011-12-28

However, looking at the cookie with an addon it also lists 'twc'


- DJ24966 - 2011-12-28

Sorry for multiple replies, but I've fixed my TWC login issue.

Ended up browsing to -

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\addon_data\plugin.video.espn3

Opened up userdata and did the following.

Obviously your city and whatnot will be different but I just put twc in the provider and my swid in the other place, but mine is working again.

For this espn3 pluggin, do you need a subscription to cable to watch Live football? or can you login Anonymous
