NBA games from last nights didn't play

[furkyto]

I think that they put new encryption to all the game last night

[maliapac]

Same problem here, any news or fix?

[mkorganashvili]

stream type has changed

[maliapac]

Is there any way to fix it?

[mkorganashvili]

Stream is in mpd format now. For the quick research, not supported on kodi :(

[maliapac]

That's a new one. :) hopefully, they'll add support on Leia.

[mkorganashvili]

Leia is not coming out any time soon. And also mod is not supported yet. Hope they will add before release

[furkyto]

What is leia ?

[dikri]

Sister of Luke ;)

I don't know ist, but I think it is the new nickname of the next kodi release

[furkyto]

yeah i see , thank you

[maliapac]

We can only hope that the support for that format will be added in any of the next kodi releases.

[ivankokan]

It should be possible to do it (https://github.com/peak3d/inputstream.adaptive), and I'm working on this - no guarantee I will make it. Please, don't comment things are not working anymore as we are all aware of it, and know what has changed.

[mkorganashvili]

Yeah, just made it!

[ivankokan]

@mkorganashvili I am very curious to see your commit (how far I am/was)!

[mkorganashvili]

@ivankokan It will take time to finish the work. Just found the way to play mpd.

[furkyto]

It give me imputstream.adaptive is missing on your install

[maliapac]

Thank you for your effort. I really appreciate what you're trying to do @mkorganashvili.

I've tried your install, but I still can't get the games to go. only condensed games work.

[mkorganashvili]

@furkyto which version of kodi do you use?

@maliapac my pleasure ))
Can you post the log?

[maliapac]

kodi.log
@mkorganashvili - here is the log.

[cablegoon]

Im getting the same error - condensed games work in SD

I will post the log if need be

[kuosu]

Hi guys,
I also tried to run the latest fix, but without success. Kodi 17.6, Android 6.0.1 (sony tv). Before playing the game first time after installation, Kodi asked me to activate inputstream.adaptive. Anyway it failed moments later. Example part of my log is here: https://pastebin.com/t5bifTKy

[mkorganashvili]

May be android has some problems, I'll check

[mkorganashvili]

Bad news for android users :/

[maliapac]

So it seems we'll have to wait until K18 for nba through Kodi. Thank you again for your effort @mkorganashvili

[mkorganashvili]

@maliapac or you can try nightly builds of k18.
You are welcome, I wish I could help you : )

[maliapac]

@mkorganashvili I've just tried it on K18, it doesn't open the list of games so I don't know if decryption works. it gives me an error when I'm opening a list of games. Error: [Errno: 22]: Invalid argument

[mkorganashvili]

@maliapac does release version work for old games?

[maliapac]

@mkorganashvili if by release edition you mean nightly, no it doesn't. same error as yours. If you mean master's edition, I've just tried it. List does, it lists the games ok, but when I click to start the playback it seems like it will start, even a play sign on the top is shown, but then it stops with the "playback failed" message.

[furkyto]

In kodi 18.0 with this release https://mirrors.kodi.tv/nightlies/windows/win64/master/ from 28.03 and your zip file of the nba plugin , the old game from past season start and the games from last night start too but the quality is bad and can't change it

[mkorganashvili]

@maliapac I mean master. If there is problem with my version, then logs will be welcome : )

@furkyto quality is really poor, I guess there is problem with inputstream.adaptive plugin. I'll post the problem there.

[ThulsaD00M]

@mkorganashvili
Regarding the poor qualitiy: Good qualitiy is right there...nothing is wrong with the inputstream.adaptive. It is just a problem in games.py. Archived games are not openend the way, as live-games are. I have just finished watching the Lakers-Mavericks game from last night in 720p (@29.97fps). All i had to do, is change the device clock (my device is a x86 machine running libreelec with kodi 17.6) back to 02:30am local time (Germany). By doing this, under Live Games within your pachted addon (i downloaded your .zip) the games from last night show up (again) and then i chosed the home/away feed. The Submenu then is to go live or start from the beginning. I selected start for beginning and the game just played fine in HD-Quality!

You can try yourself.

The Addon is simply erasing the live Games 4 hours after starting time. By changing the clock backwards, you can bring them back on!

Now, all you (ore someone else) have to do, is looking in the games.py and figure out, how the live-games (and the just finished games) are opened and paste this method to the archived games. I´m to stupid (it seems! :-) )

Everthing will be fine then.

In case you still got problems with the qualitiy, you may have to set the inputstream.adaptive up the right way...i can help you guys!

[mkorganashvili]

@ThulsaD00M there must be some coincidence. I can't really see the connection.

[mkorganashvili]

[mkorganashvili]

Good news!
Quality problem was caused by 'UserAgent'. Server sends low qualities for mobile devices. Now I changed it with chrome's UserAgent and quality is good!

You can take last version of my code

[furkyto]

Is there any way to make it with apple userAgent ?

[mkorganashvili]

@furkyto kodi can not play format apple does.
is it important?

[furkyto]

i think that in apple user agent the quality will be as it was 60fps in 6000kbps

[mkorganashvili]

I see.
They are planing to add support of SAMPLE-AES and we can use apple again.
For now maximum bandwidth is 4500kbps

[mkorganashvili]

Just tried xbox one userAgent and 6000kbps is available

[maliapac]

I can confirm that android doesn't work on k18. List of games still unavailable Error: [Errno: 22] Invalid argument when I click either on live games or on archive games.

@maliapac addon has problem reading the settings. May be you should try to reinstall the addon

[jaydee73]

Also runs on MAC OS X with K18 and the latest addon from mkorganashvili.

Anyone had luck with Android and K18? @maliapac: Any news?

[furkyto]

@mkorganashvili can i ask you some questions on private ?

[mkorganashvili]

@furkyto sure

[furkyto]

where ? would you give me skype

[mkorganashvili]

mkorganashvili is my skype : ))

[akulagr]

Hello @mkorganasvili I've been testing the last version of your code on Android with K18. The problem that I'm having is that I get no picture whatsoever when I try to play a game (either live or archive). the stream starts but i only get audio and a black screen. I already fiddled around with video processing settings and inputstream adaptive settings to no avail. do you happen to have any suggestions to get this working?
appreciate the work you are doing keeping the add on running.

[mkorganashvili]

Hello @akulagr. I'm guessing this is the problem of inputstream.adaptive. Maybe we should ask to them for the help

[furkyto]

ffmpeg is not supported

[furkyto]

@mkorganashvili i send you invitation in skype but you aren't accept yet :) , i'm furkyto on skype

[akulagr]

@furkyto So that means there's no way to make it work on android with K18?

[mkorganashvili]

It can be played, there must be a bug in the addon

[irandhal]

same issue here, on android system (nvidia shield TV). Is there any chance to fix the issue before playoff ? the official NBA App for android TV sucks, and i really miss kodi's addon. How can i help ? (logs ? try kodi 18 ?)

[RolandasOnGithub]

Does latest master still have stream quality issue? Tried changing quality settings does not have any effect. (Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS, Kodi 17.6). Should I change userAgent?

[mkorganashvili]

@pi-iuselinux-lt userAgent is already changed. I had bed quality played only once and tried to stop and play the game again. it helped

[RolandasOnGithub]

@mkorganashvili Thanks, works like a charm on my laptop (Kodi 17.6, Ubuntu amd64), quality is much improved. For some reason, same version of Kodi is crashing on my Desktop, I will test RPI3 with OSMC latter.

[maxgalbu]

Closing since @mkorganashvili fixed it. Download latest release from https://github.com/maxgalbu/xbmc.plugin.video.nba/releases
