I"m on Apple TV 2 (black) with FRODO and 1 (silver) with EDEN and having the same error when I try to play anything from hte LIVE section, I just get the word "error" , replays are fine but I cannot play nothing from live.

I'm on Comcast and if I click on enable login and add my user-password it does not work at all and i cannot enter the app, if I leave defaults it will enter but then I get the error on live streams.

Can you help?

Can't get either Live nor Archived streams to go. ERROR each time.

I can't really make heads nor tails of the log file, but it's at the link below. I tried both Live and Archived streams in creating the file, so examples of each error is present. I don't mind getting my hands dirty implementing a fix, but I'm not sure of the protocol so I don't want to muck things up more than they already are.

XBMC Frodo, Ubuntu on Apple TV 1 (silver). Thanks in advance for any help!

When I select the app (ESPN3) I will see the menus's (Live, Upcoming, Replay 10 days, etc.). But when I select any of the menus I never end up seeing any content just ".."

Any reason why the app is not finding the content for me? Used to work fine, not sure why I am not seeing either live or archived sports anymore.

Ok, not sure if this will help anyone, but I got it working on Verizon FIOS.

There were two issues:
1. the login JS uses a different variable name in the function call, so the regex fails. This is what causes the "index out of range" error.
Chaneg the "A" to "affId" (that's a capitol i) in the line:
verizonLogin = re.compile('function verizonLogin\(A\){(.*?)}').findall(data)[0]

2. Verizon has changed their SSO to do some sanity checks (username and password). It then changes the form action through javascript. Since the python mechanize lib doesn't execute javascript, this fails. In the Verizon login section, just below the br.select_form(...) line (should also be 4 lines below the one we edited above), add the following line:
br.form.action = "https://auth.verizon.com/amserver/UI/Login?realm=dotcom&module=AIAW&goto=https://signin.verizon.com/sso/ProcessLoginServlet"

This is a total hack and if VZ changes the script, it will break. If I have some time and energy I will look into scraping the JS to determine this programatically, but in the meantime, I have mah sports!

Charter internet users can now access ESPN via their mobile devices. Any chance this app will be updated to take advantage of that change?

Is there anyway I can get the ESPN and ESPN2 working with Verizon login info? I followed the directions to post #571, but when I play those live streams, I get an ERROR screen.

I've officially given up on this addon... going with PlayOn for my ESPN.
