Can't play live or archive games

Question

Can't play live or archive games

besarbb opened this issue 7 years ago · comments

Hey guys, firstly thanks a lot for keeping the add-on up to date, this is absolutely great :)

Until tonight, every live game worked perfect, but tonight, it can't open any game. Here's my kodi.log file:

Cheers :)

Hi,

Looks like the url coming back now is https and the code is expecting http. if you want to fix it right away go and open C:\Users\Doruntina\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\addons\plugin.video.nba\src\games.py in notepad or something and go to line 96. It should look something like: match = re.search('http://([^:]+)/([^?]+?)?(.+)$', url)

just change the http to https and save the file. Should work afterwards.

I think that there is some new cookies in nba.com witch obstruct to play some of the games in KODI

It does appear the NBA have just made a pretty big change, they are now using SAMPLE-AES on their M3U8 files, this could be the end of this add-on, but I hope not. Further inspection shows that the NBA have upgraded watch.nba.com to include the 720HD 60fps feed, significant changes occuring.

The whole situation is very confusing and unstable. Tried to watch the Cavs-Magic game from Oct 13th, both on watch.nba.com, on Kodi, on Xbox One official app and on Android TV official app. It only works on the official site but nowhere else (but I'm not sure this new "720HD" thing is 60fps, doesn't look like pure 60fps to me, do we have any specific examples?)

Even the Xbox official app, which got upgraded a couple of days ago, throws an error about an unrecognizable/unsupportable URL for the said game. WTH is Neulion doing? Also need to note that NBA TV isn't playing at all on any of the above apps, only works on watch.nba.com.

Then I tried to watch the Clippers-Kings game from Oct 12th and it's working everywhere. Then I tried to watch the Clippers-Lakers game which I believe is the absolute final preseason event of the NBA, that too is playing across all apps and platforms.

Let's hope Neulion/NBA sort this out first on their official apps and then we'll see what can be done with Max's great addon.

When Kodi plugin try to start the archive game from this source https://neunlds285.akamaized.net/nlds/nba/orl/as/live/nlncp/orl_hd_ipad_20171018230021_023219.mp4.m3u8?h=4ed0b59249697be69c31af87c219ccb1.1508395054211&hdnea=exp=1508395114~acl=/*~hmac=0918ACB26E4BFDF9E9096B92000CEF2AD6A9D1FEE6DAFD31E93B766835A93173&nltid=nba&nltdt=6&uid=3360974|User-Agent=iTunes-AppleTV/4.1 , the game doesn't start or if it start it stops after a few minutes but after a while it take this source to start the game https://nlds120.cdnllnwnl.neulion.com/nlds_vod/nba3/vod/2017/10/18/nlncp/21700004/2_21700004_bkn_ind_2017_b_whole_1_3000_ipad.mp4.m3u8?h=09a56017bf8a2d40133d7160bd89b00c.1508395349472&hdnea=exp=1508395409~acl=/*~hmac=4B3DA09B60795C938445AE4CF0FF1C2BFB4EBC7301FAFEAA6AA5FC9B1B1A83F4&nltid=nba&nltdt=6&uid=3360974|User-Agent=iTunes-AppleTV/4.1 and then it works but have some buffering from time to time and it doesn't work like before 1 week ago ,
I think there is some changes in nba.com some new cockies that they are putted for some kind of defance or i don't know

besarbb · Answer 11 · Thu Oct 19 2017 15:26:33 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

As @furkyto has mentioned, even the archive games that do work, buffer a lot compared to the week before we started getting these "https" links.

I can't play any games, archive or live. Getting the "Failed to get a URL...are you logged in?" error that everyone else is getting.
Does this addon require an international league pass subscription? I have a US subscription.

@lowkeyluce yes it requires an international subscription and I believe requires a non-US IP.

Matt P · Answer 15 · Fri Oct 20 2017 01:20:49 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@mikesells thanks. confirmed archived games are working with an international subscription & non-US IP. updated the script to look for https on live games and will test that out tonight.

Thanks for the great add-on @maxgalbu !

RedManMark86 · Answer 16 · Fri Oct 20 2017 01:27:15 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@lowkeyluce live games won't work till he updates the script to take their new method which they changed over night before the first live games.

It is a shame as reddit have already gotten by this by using they key url and flowplayer

Matt P · Answer 17 · Fri Oct 20 2017 08:26:21 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@RedManMark86 Live games are working for me. Watching the Bulls and Raptors right now.

angus1225 · Answer 18 · Fri Oct 20 2017 08:48:12 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Still doesn't work here... even bulls raps..

Matt P · Answer 19 · Fri Oct 20 2017 09:07:41 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Use 1.0.0 and edit the games.py script to look for https instead of http as suggested by @amila.

I can't get live games to work with 1.0.1, even after editing games.py.

angus1225 · Answer 20 · Fri Oct 20 2017 09:34:39 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Just tryied that @lowkeyluce ... not working here...

@angus1225 I guess make sure you're using your email address as the username, not sure what else you can try beyond that though.
Knicks and Thunder is working for me too.

angus1225 · Answer 22 · Fri Oct 20 2017 10:02:12 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Obviously I do. I don't get "not logged" I get " NBA league pass error.check log file"
Just don't know.
I will wait to max magic solution

Matt P · Answer 23 · Fri Oct 20 2017 10:04:50 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

For what it's worth, that's the error I got before updating the games.py script. Something else must be going on for you though. Good luck.

jaydee73 · Answer 27 · Sun Oct 22 2017 17:36:16 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

My own research:

v1.0:
archived games from 2017-10-20 and older do work. Sometimes I have to start the stream a second time, because the first try does not work (directly at the beginning). Don't know why.
Archived games from 2017-10-21 (last night) do not work atm (11.30am german time)
Live games not tested

v1.0.1:
No archived game does work. Highlights and Videos (Shaqtin) do work.
Live games not tested

No log files recorded yet. If you need one max, let me know.

@maxgalbu Thank you man! It works now after your last commit :) love your work... wonder if there's any account where we can donate something as a thank you for your work?

If I can ask one more question: when I try to download a match, I try copying the kodi link and then downloading it through ffmpeg, and it works perfectly on my local computer, but what I want to do is download the match in my vps(linux, ubuntu 16.04), and there the link does NOT work, while I get this message:
https://i.imgur.com/6Zveobh.png
Do you have any idea what am I doing wrong? If I download those matches on my vps, I can also play them with Plex, so it'd be a great help. Used it throughout the whole of last season and it always worked perfectly.

Apologies for going off topic, and thanks again :D

sorry it isnt working. I tested the last zip and i get the message, stream cannot played etc etc.
Condensed Game is working. Archived games not, live i will check. My addon is running under LibreElec on a Android Box. Is there anything what i can do for solving ??

Here is a slice of kodi.log file (kodi 16.0 on qnap nas) when loading the latest release provided by besarbb.
I still have the same message after trying to open a stream. (failed to get a video url. Are you logging in?"
PS: I subscribed to india NLP (cheaper than my country), so I use a VPN to connect...

Yeah, I got the exact same errors as the log before. If you turn on all of the logging, ffmpeg and all, you will see that ffmpeg starts to try and play it, but then gets an 403 forbidden when downloading the encryption key files.

@maxgalbu thanks so much for the fix.
@besarbb thanks for posting the link to the zip file. I was able to install the using the zip file (on a usb) on my firetv & the NBA Intl League pass works (I subscribed thru' mexico & use VPN on my firetv). If you don't use VPN, the Intl league pass (for mexico) does not work. It is the same story with India Intl NBA league pass. Mexico is about $80 for full subscription & india is only $16. But India VPN will be very slow... so I chose Mexico.

I think I have managed to fix it locally, in another piece of code, non-xmbc. Issue seems to be that the kodi plugin just grabs the first cookie it finds, and dumps all the rest of the cookies, in a line such as this:

cookies = response.info().getheader('Set-Cookie').partition(';')[0]

This has worked before because the authorization cookie was the only thing checked, and that just happened to be the first cookie in the list sent to the client. That is no longer the case, and in any case, the cookie is not sent to the player to use when downloading the encryption key if I read things correctly. Someone else shed light on this?

Can you explain me, what and where i have to make changes in the code to get it to work on my libreElec Box!?!? please!!

magnusjjj · Answer 47 · Thu Oct 26 2017 18:19:49 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Can't. At least not the way you think. I might have a stab at editing the kodi plugin, but I am sick.
It needs to grab more of the cookies.

magnusjjj · Answer 48 · Thu Oct 26 2017 18:20:38 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@mkorganashvili That's because the lower bandwidths don't have an encryption key attached. The higher bandwidths do, and they fail to download.

Hmm, sorry for the spam, but it seems I can't fix this in kodi. If anyone wants to poke me regarding the changes I made in my unrelated code to make it compatible, and take a stab at implementing me, I am at magnusjjj@gmail.com

In the plugin settings, just change the video quality. Set any but 'Auto'

Yep. Can confirm here. Tried everything to make it work. Upgraded kodi and the add-on nothing worked until I changed the video quality from auto to a manual setting. Now it's perfect. Would be nice to get a fix for this. I might have a look into it if I get some time.

Ivan Kokan · Answer 55 · Sat Oct 28 2017 06:22:44 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Hi everyone! Shouldn’t removing the global setting and choosing the quality upon opening each video among offered be the right approach? I mean, qualities will definitely change/improve in the future so the easiest way would be to pick the quality “per game/video” (future-proof also).

Massimo Galbusera · Answer 56 · Mon Oct 30 2017 06:21:36 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Live and archive games works if you select anything but "auto" as quality. Apparently it fails opening a key when opening the stream with 240 as bitrate:

Live works? Really? I was trying to watch live with 1.0.1 and 6000@60 quality only a couple of hours ago and it didn't work.

edit: ok it seems live does work after all, after downloading the absolute latest version released only half an hour ago and clearing the relevant folders and userdata from the older Kodi installation.

nzeppos · Answer 58 · Mon Oct 30 2017 09:31:57 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

OK so the latest version may have worked in PC's Kodi 17.3, but it fails to load in Android TV's Kodi 17.5 with error:

"Error Contents: dlopen failed: library "./_imaging.so" not found"

It's just utils.py trying to source the image library so most likely a local installation issue with PIL on Android ot whatever, checking...

magnusjjj · Answer 59 · Mon Oct 30 2017 17:08:10 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

This makes all kinds of sense actually. Like I commented earlier, the reason behind kodi getting 403's has to do with ffmpeg not storing cookies from the bandwidth m3u8's.
It might do it when you reference them directly? Like, only storing cookies from the absolute first request ffmpeg makes?

magnusjjj · Answer 60 · Mon Oct 30 2017 17:23:19 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Yep. Just looked at the ffmpeg source:

"///< holds HTTP cookie values set in either the initial response or as an AVOption to the HTTP protocol context"

So, when picking a bandwidth manually, it doesn't load the m3u8 with a list of all the bandwidths and sub-m3u8's. This means that the first request, to the sub-m3u8 directly, makes it store the cookies. But if you try to play the m3u8 giving the list of bandwidths, it only takes the cookies in the response of that request, and ignores any cookies supplied by the sub-m3u8

So this is not a place where people help you out with your issues? I still haven't gotten live games to work, but judging by the comments, it's unclear whether live games work for all or not, and if so, how to get them to work.

People keep saying they'll "see", or "report back" or "assume", and then they don't.

If there is a better place to discuss these issues, let me know.

Didn't report because I'm having several issues with my Kodi/SPMC installations after I migrated from Raspberry Pi2 to Xiaomi Mi Box. So for me these are currently not ideal testing platforms for Max's addon.

However I can confirm that the latest version of the addon DOES work perfectly fine on Windows/Linux Kodi 17.3 or 17.5 for BOTH live and archived games and the only change required is to set the quality to 6000Kbps (or any other specific value) instead of Auto.

Until all these issues are resolved, I have resorted to watching live games using the official site chromecasting the 720HD stream to TV via the Xiaomi box, but even then I'm sometimes having stuttering so the only really stable solution for me is Xbox One's official NBA app.

Thanks for the feedback! Since I'm currently restricted to running Kodi 16.1 on Windows, if anyone has that combo working with live games, please let me know! Archived games have always worked fine for me, and my setting has never been at "Auto" (that's the first thing I always change before using it).

Hey mate, the add-on is working fine now. I am using it in Windows 10, Kodi v.17.5, and Android(Galaxy S8 phone, Kodi v.17.5). Have you tried removing the add-on first and then re-installing the latest "Master" version?

beachdrifter · Answer 70 · Sat Nov 04 2017 08:48:37 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@besarbb
I tried that. Then the addon doesn't work at all, meaning it doesn't even get the necessary urls for any games (live or archive): "Error:addinfourl instance has no attribute 'seek'"

I guess I might have to wait for a new system before I can watch live games again...

Getting the same error in Android SPMC which is running Kodi 16.7 or similar. Most likely some incompatibility between that old Kodi version and the latest version of NBA's addon. But the latter works fine with Kodi 17.3 or 17.5.

@phroeix out of pure interest, can you check your logs about the error you're getting? Could it be the same imaging.so library not found? Which would make it a generic thing for Android, Kodi and PIL as I am having this issue too.

@nzeppos just checked the log and indeed its the imaging.so library error, any way arround it?

I am getting that error about the imaging.so library on multiple devices all android. I have tried multiple versions of the plugin. Now the installs won’t even complete successfully. Since it works for some I am thinking its something related to generic python library or something. Since the season is early hoping this can be resolved within week or so DSG

Hi guys. Is anyone have problem with running archive games because "Error. failed to star commoncache" ? I tried to change settings in commoncache plugin but it's not working. Seems that there is a problem with this plugin because i cannot run it and it causes NBA plugin to crash. I searched all the internet to fix this, tried couple of methods (setting change, reinstall, changing ports etc) Addon worked (NBA LP) couple of days ago and suddenly stopped. And I dont know why... :( Any help?

here is my log:
kodi.log

@phroeix
Kodi was just upgraded to 17.6 and the PIL error went away. Now the addon starts just fine in Android TV but some things don't work or are very slow (ie. it takes a minute to populate last week's archived games list, condensed games take forever to start or eventually time out etc).

However the full archived games work fine and I'd assume the same thing applies to live ones as well.

edit: confirming that live games work OK

@nzeppos You may experience slow performance due to first generation of combined thumbnails. It should be much faster once they are generated. Please confirm. Additionally, there is one more pending Pull request that will make things even faster once when merged.

@ivankokan
Yes, it's exactly how you described it. It's only the first time that it takes a while to load. Afterwards everything loads almost instantaneously. Good stuff.

Still no live games for me. International league pass. Kodi 17.6 add on version 1.01. tried on Android TV and fire TV. Any help would be much appreciated

Same for me, android tv and raspberry pi - both on Kodi 17.6 with version 1.01. Replays are fine. I don't know whether it is any assistance to the investigation however it seems to have become a problem ever since the Start from Beginning/Go Live function came in. I downloaded NBA app onto Android TV and it plays live from within that app - there is no Start from Beginning/Go Live within the NBA App. Many thanks for all your great work - this is a curly issue cheers CJ

In order to properly analyze your issue, you need to provide log file. Make sure you use the latest version.

Thanks @maxgalbu, it is working now with your latest commit.

djcjistha1 · Answer 85 · Fri Jan 19 2018 16:39:20 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Is there any chance this will be ported into a fix or do we need to attempt this manually? Many thanks.
