FAQ
- Does this work outside of the UK?
- Yes, this is a streaming website that works anywhere

- Why do we recommend you install the repo instead of manual install?
- By installing the repo, any new releases will automatically be picked up and pushed to XBMC and ask you to update the add-on!
- This will cut out the hassle coming to the thread for updates and manually uninstalling/installing the plugin!

- Why choose this over myp2p.eu and other football streaming sites?
- Its all down to preference, although this site is very stable, cheap, and not in high demand as the free websites are, thus better playback

- What is the price of this?
- The plugin is absolutely free (as always!), however, LiveOnlineFooty requires a payment of £6 for 2 months subscription

- Why is the plugin playing streams at 4:3?
- XBMC by default does this, at the moment we cannot force 16:9, streams are in 16:9 so to fix this do the following:
- Settings -> Video -> Display 4:3 videos as Stretch 16:9

Bugs/feature requests
Please use the development thread to report bugs or to request features and to give ideas, located HERE.

When reporting a bug make sure that you turn on debugging in the script and in XBMC and include:

- A debug log
- A description of how to reproduce the bug
- XBMC revision
- Platform (XBOX/Linux/Windows/Mac)

Known Issues
- On XBMC LIVE systems, audio seems to be flawed (although same plugin on same machine and proper install is fine) [RESOLVED]
- On XBOX system, clicking on 'Settings' brings up an error (although works fine on other systems) [RESOLVED]

Special Thanks
To mortstar for adding this plugin to his repo, without his repo it would be a pain for users updating the plugin as new releases come along! cheers mate!

Does this work in oz ?

Yes, if you have a subscription. No proxy or VPN required.

Thank you, just tried it and everything seems to be working.

Excellent, just installed it, working perfectly!

Thanks!

Can you please help me with something myksterx?

Just tried this now, signed up for £6. Does anyone find it buffers quite a lot?

Not really, once or twice per game.

Can't say I've found that myself. What device you on? ATV2?

Not sure exactly how to do so, but I'm sure there's a way to increase the default buffer size in the addon, that should overcome that if it's a regular problem for you, although it means launching the stream would take longer.

Please report back if you keep on finding this problem.
