If someone can PM me and maybe assist me with creating this add-on
You didn't find anything that most xbmc and NaviX users don't already know about.
Chasing live streams to creaet an add-on for xbmc is very tiresome as those streams on the betting sites don't stay on. They are only on for "that game" that you are watching. Then when that game / match or whatever it is has ended the website closes that stream and it's gone. If you are lucky it might stay on for a day if theres lots of sports to stream.
To grab the stream you would need software that catches an RTMP stream address and then allows you to dump it into some sort of player on your own PC or whatever your using. the file is called an rtmpdump.
Besides watching the stream on your own player that info can be used to put into an add-on for xbmc.
However , as I mention above , its pointless because as quickly as you create the thing it will go off air on the stream.
It's all been done and tried before , Look on NaviX , find a live sports stream for sky sports , someone , if you are lucky will have put one on . It might work , but only for a short while , then it will stop working.
There are loads and loads of experts all have done the same thing in the past and now they know better as they have had the experience. Thats why , there are NO add-ons that will get you sky sports , if it were that easy those experts would have done it already , think about it !
Having said that , those same experts have created the best things that are available as of NOW , and I describe them below >>>>>
The way to get something reasonably reliable is to use xbmc , with sportsdevil , streamon , and supersports , all available as ADD-ONS . Once you have them installed , check them regular in xbmc for links ( on the day that THE sport you want to watch is on and just before the time it comes on ) . That is the most reliable was to watch sports from all over the world. FREE.
And, if you dont find a link in any of them ...... you always have that website to watch on.
ESPN , Eurosport and many others are almost always there on XBMC via those add-ons I mention above and they tend NOT to go off. If you see sky sports channels , then if you are lucky you might get a day or more out of them , but they will not last forever. Then , keep looking ( using the ADD-ONS ) and if you find them on again , they will give you a few more days etc etc.
Good luck
