more newbie questions - espn3luvr - 2012-02-25

hi all - like martinsono, i am having problems accessing espn3. i am on comcast (internet) but am not a cable subscriber, so there are no login issues afaik. espn3 is supported by my ISP; i can see it on my laptop.

i've spent a couple of hours looking through posts (and reread 571 many, many times) but have not been able to get this to work. Like martinsono, i can see the lists of events but when i try to stream them i get the dreaded "script failed" error message).

here's my error log, if that's helpful:

other issues i'm having include the inability to locate my SWID. when i go to http://broadband.espn.go.com/espn3/auth/userData it returns this:

http://a.espncdn.com/espn360/images/affiliates/comcast.png http://www.comcast.net/sports null 50.133.231.254 united states exeter new hampshire na 7 comcast.net

and i can't figure out how else to get my SWID (i'm on Mac OS X so wireshark is not an option).

i have gone through the plugin settings and unchecked everything but "play through xbmc" and made sure that the login option is disabled. i put in userdata.xml and cookies.lwp, although i'm not sure i need those files given that i'm not logging in, and because i couldn't find my SWID that area is blank.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

many thanks,

I don't foresee an issue though because it works like the others channel options.

Did Buzzer Beater worked?

WildBill: It told me I wasn't authorized. I committed it just now because I believe it should work for those who are authorized.

Yes, you create the files according to post #571, but make sure you input your SWID and provider in the areas that are bolded in #571.


- carrrr - 2012-03-07

hello,
im trying to use the addon, but after create the files acording post #571 using SWID and provider from http://broadband.espn.go.com/espn3/auth/userData can only view espn3 from outside US
so 3 questions , 1) do i have to use the "{" and "}"
in the swid part or just the numbers
2) the 2 files are in ...profile\XBMC\addons\plugin.video.espn3 or ...profile\XBMC\userdata\addon_data\plugin.video.espn3
3)is my provider ok or do i have to try another to watch espn and espn2
(f*r*o*n*t*i*e*r*_*v*r*z*) without * obv

thanks in advance for your help, and sorry for my english

(f*r*o*n*t*i*e*r*_*v*r*z*) without * obv for espn3 your find but for everything else You need a swid from TWC, BHN, VF and soon to be Comcast.

thanks in advance for your help, and sorry for my english

All right, so Comcast must have changed things up...Up until today I've been able to use the ESPN3 access, despite being on another provider.

Doctored the files, per post #571, but still can't access it. Just in time for me to miss the Big 12 tourney games Sad At least my school doesn't play until tomorrow...


script error - Lestercity - 2012-03-08

doesnt work anymore on my system atv2. Are there more users with the same issue. Hope someone will come up with a solution. Worked for the last three months.


- WildBill - 2012-03-08

Working for me. Logs?


- wilsnip - 2012-03-08

got script error as well on my pc:

tried it on my atv, and got a script error which I presume is the same?


- boywondr16 - 2012-03-08

I'll be a little more specific in my notes, though I'm away from my computer running XBMC for the moment...

What's happened is that, up until now, I've been able to watch ESPN3 content, despite not being a Comcast (or any other cable) subscriber. The addon was allowing me to access all of the ESPN3 stuff, but isn't now...I can still watch ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU with no problem.

Is this something others have had happen? Is this something based on ESPN or Comcast changes, possibly?

I'll get a log pasted later, too...
