RE: [RELEASE] ESPN3.com Addon - brampower - 2012-09-07

Hey guys,

First of all, thanks for this great plugin!
I do have some issues with it, though. I tried search but since this thread is so damn huge I didn't have any luck - so I apologize in advance if this has been asked before (which I'm sure it has).

Whenever I try to open any of the streams, I get a plugin error and it tells me to check the log file. Why is it doing that, and how could I show you guys my log file so we can figure out what the problem is?
Also, I have the problem that is described in the first post. I have to enable 'Use Custom User Files' before I run the app or it will not start at all. I guess this workaround is fine, but like I said, the streams itself aren't working either. It's not due to blackouts because they work just fine on my laptop.

Thanks!

**EDIT: I figured it all out. Updated the default.py file and changed my userdata file so it said 'comcast.sso'.
However, playback stutters a lot and it stops after about 15 seconds every single time. Any fix for that?

Updated my ATV2 and I can confirm that this works for Livestreams. Will test other add ons and report back, but I've gained access to many streams that wouldn't launch or would continuously buffer. Good job!! Wink


RE: [RELEASE] ESPN3.com Addon - brampower - 2012-09-07

So I've read through a lot of pages, and is it correct that if you're a Comcast subscriber you can only watch ESPN3 through the add-on right now (even though all ESPN's are available in the web browser)?

Apparently the "Lib Files" in XBMC haven't been updated in a year. For those who are not familiar with these files. The "Lib Files" are what allows up to stream without any breakage or delay. So, this is the problem when a game starts for 3 seconds and then we get kicked off in ESPN 3 app. Also thfile helps all the apps in XBMC stream better. So without wasting anymore let's update that Lib File.

We will have to SSH here are programs necessary.
Windows -- WinSCP http://winscp.net/eng/download.php
Mac --Use Terminal

Using SSH instructions for newbie. On apple tv go to settings/General/About/Network
Now write down your IP address. Launch 1 of the programs I've listed underneath. Put IP address in.
Username is --> root
password is --> alpine


Ok go to this site and download this file. http://fusion.xbmchub.com/livestreams/librtmp/ios/
it's a zip file. Unzip on computer. There will be a Mac folder and a file called "librtmp.0.dylib" you will only need that file. Ignore the Mac Folder.


Pay attention closely here.

Next go back to SSH screen. It should be split screens there. On the right side. You need to go back 3 folders. Or until you see "Applications Folder"

Now go to this folder
Applications/XBMC.fracppliance/Frameworks

Now on the left side go to wherever you unzip your files. And just drap and drop this file to the right side.
Librtmp.0.dylib

You be prompt to replace file. Click Yes. Exit your session and reboot XBMC.

Main apps that stream better icefilms, ESPN, Free Cable, Sportsdevil, 1channel just to name a few.

Any questions feel free to contact. Here or on Twitter https://twitter.com/#!/gainesway I'll answer as quickly as possible. Peace


if you read through the earlier posts it would have told you the same - affects all streaming - i think there is a wiki for librtmp updates

Correct

Ok, thanks. Guess I'll have to use AirPlay for now then.. Wink

What is the exact reason for this though? It's not like it's a 'hack'; I can watch all of them on my PC without any workarounds.
Is it just technologically impossible at the moment?


RE: [RELEASE] ESPN3.com Addon - WildBill - 2012-09-07

I think it because the Swid for comcast is still only for espn3 and not everything.

but that is just a guess

XBMC already has the ability to use a different Proxy. Just go to this folder.
Settings / Network / Internet Access /
Select Use HTTP then fill in the blanks.

Leave Connection Banwidth set to - OFF

I'm testing a few things to see what I come up with. I'll update later.


RE: [RELEASE] ESPN3.com Addon - peebs - 2012-09-08

So... am I correct in my understanding of this, as far as this add-in is concerned?

Comcast customers notwithstanding, ESPN3 works all the time, but ESPN / ESPN2 will only work from midnight to 6pm on weekdays, and midnight to noon on weekends?

Thanks for the tip. This fixed my streaming issues when it came to live events.

Request for DivingMule ---

NFL season is here --- ESPN GO was the best add-on. Is it possible for you to fix that. Basically the issue is on bit rate. I had tried all 4 bitrates but does not work. See ESPN GO gives quick highlights of games. Please see if you can fix it for US watchers.

Really looking forward to this. I have been getting around the blackouts in TN by using HotSpot Shield and using WatchESPN.com through my web browser. Would love a more hassle-free way of watching that is integrated into the app on XBMC!



Everything is ready. I"ll post simple How-To instructions in a few hours. Hopefully, no more BLACKOUTS. Also you International folks might be in luck as well. It will fix restricted streaming from anywhere in the world. Including the BBC Player. You can now enjoy watching that from the USA as well.
