I tried watching a game from this week in the archive (VOD) with this extension (manually installed with branch polling-service, commit e0ea34f) and it seems to get the right game, but the video just shows "This game has ended", as if I was still watching the live stream long after the end of it.

I would appreciate it if you let me know how I can help with this issue.

Thank you for the hard work, it's appreciated.

The addon isn't working anymore. I used it yesterday without problems, but today I only get this "moving circle" when I start the addon (Kodi v17 on FireTV).

Oder video addons are running fine.

Here is an extraction from my debug log:

I made a quick cross-check with installing Kodi on my Mac. Same result.

When trying to watch the game celtics - hornets (10/29), there was no choice of away or home feed. Only the home feed was available when pressing' full game'. Both feeds were available on the website.
When checking grizzlies - knicks, we could chose

Hi,
Didn't know where else to issue a feature requests, hope it's okay.

1. Would like to see the highlights on the first page, where they were. Click on date and watch highlights on that date. Now kinda hidden in the archive and finding them counterintuitive in my opinion.
2. NBA.com specials like Shaqtin a fool, The Starters, etc.
3. NBA TV on demand, list of programs from the NBA tv channel, if that's possible
4. Access to the vault on NBA TV.

Thats it, great addon btw. I'm a big fan of your work. Trying to become a pythonista but still a noob. Can't understand 90% of your code (lack of comments don't help but no biggie). Keep it up, your'e awesome!!!

Best regards,

Allow user to opt-out of forcing bit rate. rather than selecting a bitrate in config, an option could be "auto", which would pass along top level HLS url, and let ffmpeg determine the best bitrate.

Hi, first thanks for this amazing addon!

I have an issue when I want to start watching the game an hour late but from the beginning of course. I see that this is not possible so the only thing I can do is wait about 3 hours until the game show up on the archive games list.

a) Is there a way to watch 'live' games but in delay?
b) Do I really need to wait 2-3 hours after the game ends until I can watch the full game?

Thanks

When I try to click on a date to play highlights or top plays it gives an error:
"NBA League Pass error. Check the error log for more informatiopn."

Example of error message is:

This is version 0.7, started after the end of last season. The other links work fine, nba tv, games etc. Just highlights and top plays not working. Please fix, I love this add-on.

I have tried setting many different bit rates in the plugin settings and nothing.
Example game: 2015-12-18 Pistons vs Bulls (Full game, home feed)
I get a "Failed to get video Url...." error and then it switches to "Video not found"
I tried switching all the bitrates in the plugin settings and still nothing.

First of all, Very very Thank you for this addon developer.
I want to watch 2013, 2014 final game. SAS vs Mia
But it Cannot be played..
2015 league video and 2016, live video is well played..
What should I do? Please let me know anything.

Hello,

I would find very usefull to be able to record the streams to watch offline, by just recording the stream straight to a file and without having to watch it.

First I tried a solution based on using VLC as an external player by modifying playercorefactory.xml
This works only on Shaqtin a foul video, since it doesn't requires authentication.

My guess is that the issue is with the authentication that is cookies based, and that you can't pass to an external player.

Now I saw there is a download addon that could be maybe integrated in the nba plugin.
http://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:Simple_Downloader_for_xbmc_plugins#Developers
But there might still be a problem with cookies support.

Regards

I try with opening night games, and see all at 29.970 fps. Someone can play 720p at 60fps???

You know how on watch.nba.com you can select bitrate etc? Here i'm selecting 800kbps and it's going full 720p which kills my internet. Fix the quality issue pelase. It is super important for me as this is the only way to watch nba tv

Hey there,

In branch polling service, when installing from zero, this piece is throwing with a UnboundLocalError:

Error Type: <type 'exceptions.UnboundLocalError'>
Error Contents: local variable 'file' referenced before assignment
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "%APPDATA%\Roaming\Kodi\addons\plugin.video.nba\src\service.py", line 116, in <module>
    main()
  File "%APPDATA%\Roaming\Kodi\addons\plugin.video.nba\src\service.py", line 97, in main
    shared_data.set("playing", {})
  File "%APPDATA%\Roaming\Kodi\addons\plugin.video.nba\src\shareddata.py", line 24, in set
    json_content = self.__getFileContent()
  File "%APPDATA%\Roaming\Kodi\addons\plugin.video.nba\src\shareddata.py", line 19, in __getFileContent
    file.close()
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'file' referenced before assignment

I believe something like this would fix it:

def __getFileContent(self):
    try:
        with open(self.file_path) as file:
            file_content = file.read()
    except IOError:
        file_content = "{}"
    return json.loads(file_content)

Cheers

NBA TV Live streams seems to just stop after approximately ten minutes. There's no issues with bandwidth and it works fine as soon as it's restarted.

When on my windows 7 x64 PC with kodi 16.1 install plugin,this operation with error,plugin do not start:

Error Contents: No module named base_thread

My Admin username in cyrillic font (Russia),please insert fixing patch in plugin.
(for example: _addon_path = xbmc.translatePath(_ADDON.getAddonInfo('path')).decode('utf-8') )

https://mf.svc.nhl.com/ws/media/mf/v2.3/key/silk/mediaid/40699103/kid/20106583

I see it returns binary data and I don't see what its being used for.

Hello i'm from Bulgaria and i have problem with archive games , I can't play them very later after they are allready finished , when i try to open the game it start a video with Game Has Ended and this is 5 hours after the games are finished in USA .When i enter NBA.com with League pass from the browser the games starts.Can you help me with this pretime of Kodi

Hi, I tried to watch some archived games, but the addon always tells me that he failed to get a video URL. I am logged in with my NBA League Pass italian account. How can I fix the problem, please?

Hi I tried The first Gamein preseason but not working
Can u fix it please

Its not really a issue or bug, but is there any way to add closed caption to the plugin?

Hi,
When I try to install the add-on be it from a downloaded zip file or from the depository, i get these two errors.
They appear whether I am using Kodi 16.1 or 17.0 beta.
I'm using mac OSX 10.12.1

Th quality of the logo's are not of best quality see also the attached screenshot (see also kodi forum).
https://s14.postimg.org/kutc9a2gh/2016_10_11.png

Furthermore, the logo of the hornets is shown which is correct, but the description of the game is mentioning Timberwolves.

Just wondering about smoothness on playback...
If you look at the Hawks-Spurs game from 2017-03-13 the video plays perfectly smooth, you can absolutely notice the difference! All the other games don't. I didn't see the live game of this one but I guess it had the same quality.
Does this videoquality come from NBA's side (encoded video) or is it a issue with my Setup of Kodi or the addon itself?
If it is on my end: If someone can tell me how to optimize the videoquality please feel free to do so... ;-)

(And if I remember correctly all the games from the previous season had the same Quality as the on above)

THX

Can we have the other feeds like the Spanish one?
Thanks a lot.
Very good work

As of today I get an 404 error message whenever I enter live games or the archives.

Hey maxgalbu,

now, as the playoffs have begun, every game is available with multiple feeds. At least when I watch the games through the website. Home & away feed along with national TV feed (TNT, ABC etc.). In your plugin there's only the usual home & away feed. I've seen this for example with CHI@BOS Game 1. No chance to see the TNT feed with your plugin atm.

Is there any chance to modify your plugin to also offer the national feeds?

Thanks!

Regards,
JayDee

Hey Max,

The latest nightly appears to of removed the option of the away feed completely, also the alternate cameras don't appear to be working.

Cheers,
Eddie

Last used the latest version of the addon (0.8.2) about a couple of weeks ago and it was working perfectly fine. Renewed my LP subscription, tried again today and nothing seems to be working (eg. cannot watch any archived games or NBA TV), as all requests fail with a login error. Credentials work OK on the website.

This must be a new issue, possibly related to 2016-17 League Pass API? (not sure if they've changed something since last year).

Here is the debug log snippet when trying to launch live NBA TV (tokens, usernames etc have been masked):

Could you please look into it? The new season is upon is and this addon is really a must, the ultimate plugin for those watching NBA LP via Kodi.

Thanks.

Hi. First of all, your plugin is brilliant but i have an issue. Every hour, to be accurate in the first minute of every hour, stream (720p 60fps, if it matters) is stops and i must restart it by hands and it's very annoying. As much as i understand it happens because the NBA changes url of the stream. Whether there is a way to restart stream automatically? Thanks.

It worked a week ago. I have international league pass...and I can watch fine on the web site.

I'm getting this back from browser in the xml which used to show the manifest url:

adaptive://nlds16.neulion.com:443/nlds/nba/nba247/as/live/s_nba247_live_game_hd?plid=xxxx&auth_key=xxx-1474252150-32-*&nltid=nba&nltdt=0&uid=xxxx

also publish endpoint is now: https://watch.nba.com/service

edit: nevermind, had to query with iPad user agent. but the endpoint still changed.

Top plays haven't worked for a week. List is empty.

I cannot find 2017 episodes of Shaqtin'a fool with the Add-on. The last found episode is from December 2016.

But 2017 episodes seem to exist, because I have found them trough other web sources.

Is this a problem of the Add-on? Or from the Neulion source?

Hi, I tried to watch some archived games, but the addon always tells me that he failed to get a video URL. I am logged in with my NBA League Pass italian account. How can I fix the problem, please?

Today stopped working.
I tried to see bulls.celtics but i can't.
Yesterday was working like a charm as always.
Something changed today
Sorry for my English...I'm from Uruguay
Thanks for this big addon!!

I've been using this on both a Windows 7 PC and a Raspberry Pi 3, and on both versions playback will often just stop and kick me back to the add-on menu. There's no error message or other feedback, and no sign that a stoppage is coming. This is most noticeable when trying to watch NBA TV live.

When I try to install the add-on from the zip file, I get the following error: Dependencies not met. Please contact add-on author.

Anything like The Starters, Highlights, Top Plays etc. fails to play. NBA TV live, archived games and live games play fine.

v15.2 Isengard on Kodibuntu.

Pertinent log section is attached.

What would it take to get this to work for USA? I would be willing to help troubleshoot. I am not a programmer but I have done extensive web project development. When I login to NBA LeaguePass with my USA account, it works, except for playing the actual video. It says "Failed to find video URL, are you logged in?"

The stream starts fine, but maybe 5-10 minutes into it the stream starts to stutters or crashes back to the menu. Also, I tried changing the video quality from 720p to 540p and it never changes on the stream, but it does change in the settings.

i used saturday night (10/15) the plugin to watch a live game and error -> Failed to get a video URL - Are you logged in??? but i access to webpage and see OK, i try in nba app of mobile android and run OK. The user y pass of plugin is well because i enter good in webpage and android. But the strange is what when go to archive games through the plugin can see OK.

Maybe, nba change something to streaming live games.

I have link only on live stream

Match is finished,but link not work

No link on archive match now

I am trying to watch the videos from NBA.TV but XBMC complains that there was a problem with Index and is unable to stream the video.
Any help?

Hi!

First of all, thanks for this plugin, way better to see the game on TV instead of the iPad!

During the last week I cannot see the full games of the Finals, while the condensed games start correctly. The error is "Failed to get a video URL. Are you logged in?"
But I am logged in and I can see the condensed videos. And I can see the full games on iPad, so I think the problem is in the plugin that it is not able to retrieve the link.

Mattia.

I wish there was also the option for national tv broadcast when available. For example, last night Nets @ Knicks and Rockets @ Spurs was on ESPN, but this add-on only gives the option of home or away feeds.

Is this feasible? Thanks :)

The quality setting in the add-on configuration does not change the quality of the stream, which is stuck on the highest setting. Love the add-on, but unfortunately my sucky internet connection ends up buffering a lot as a result. jwwiii1982 mentioned having the same issue.

Hi,

I'm running KODI 17 RC3.

On RC2 the addon worked fine.
But now when I want to start a game I get the following in my logs:
