I paid the 800 rupees (around a tenner) for Star Sports, how long does that last?

It will last until the end of the season, but it seems to be blocked at the minute!

Not bad for a tenner.

How do ya mean blocked? I've just used it now to watch some on-demand stuff. Replay of West Brom and Man-U with Martin Tyler commentating. HD quality. Bit rate over 2000kbps

Star was indeed blocked (at least with the DNS I used) on both Android and PC for a while there. Thankfully during the international break.

Sorted now though and it's worked great this last weekend. Star seem to have really upped their game this season anyway in my personal experience. Though I only watch La Liga. EPL is not important to me but matches so far have been very good quality.

It was geoblocked, not available in your region... but it seems to be sorted now!

Good to know that it is back for El Clasico!

I have been using Premier League Pass for EPL with fantastic quality. I am one of the lucky ones, as loads seem to have had their accounts closed!

STG.Otaku

Yep back for El Clasico! I can't wait to see Madrid fill their pants when we roll out our front line troops, Messi, Neymar and Suarez!*

I agree with The Ayatolla as well in that Star is savage for the content available 24/7. Replays and highlights are always available. Great value for the pittance asked for a sub and (at least in my experience) the odd dip in live stream quality, usually with EPL though I find.


*hope I don't regret that later tonight. FORCA BARCA!

Unblock-us working well with star sports again.

They had issues last week but have resolved these now. Server quality is poor in India anyway but they've done a good job

When I stick the laptop onto the tv with HDMI to quality looks terrible. It actually doesnt look that bad on the laptop. The Starsports logo still drives me mad! Anyway to get rid of it?

Couldn't watch the Liverpool game on Star Sports today. Unwatchable. Doh!

You're better off!

What platform are you using? Iptv , android.

The Ayatolla

My laptop. Accessing it via unblock-us.

Would be good for about 10 seconds, then stream is unwatchable for about 30 seconds. Alternated between this.

Using UPC 100mb broadband so obviously servers couldn't handle the Liverpool game.

Dunno if anyone has mentioned it yet, but if you have a US VPN you can watch all the EPL games on the NBC Sports XBMC app for free without an account.


And full game replays.

Tried using Overplay and Cyberghost VPNs for this. Picture is amazing but buffering every ten seconds. Any suggestions for VPN?

Nowso

u can use it on your laptop 2 . might work better

Is there a trick to getting xbmc nbc add-on working? Have it installed but it won't play and videos. Any one I tried said 'playback failed' and generated this in the logs:
18:24:30 T:3932 ERROR: CDVDDemuxFFmpeg::Open - error probing input format, http://stream.nbcsports.com/liveextra/

Nowso

a lot of xbmc / now being renamed Kodi add ons dont work as of late

Oat23

Works fine for me on this nightly build with AirVPN.



Still on now, no buffering so far.

I'm having the same issues with it on Cyberghost ,its unwatchable on my MX2 ,like its in slow motion.
Works better on pc but still buffers alot.

I actually have a pass for the official NBC app but it doesnt work at all on my MX2 android box ,starts to play a stream but returns to the menu.
The official app works better on my pc/laptop .

Nowso

official login on laptop works well - only the banners in full screen mode are annoying so i zoomed in without going fullscreen and thats decent

Read on another forum - 3pms look to be back:

The English Premier League and beIN SPORTS has announced today the reinstatements of LIVE broadcast for Saturday 16:00 Mecca games in the Middle East & North Africa effective Nov. 8th.

beIN SPORTS, the Exclusive TV Rights holder of English Premier League (EPL) in the MENA region, has restricted the LIVE broadcasting of Saturday 16:00 Mecca games since Nov. 2013 due to piracy concerns in UK.

Commenting on the announcement, Mr. Nasser Al-Khelaifi, Chairman-CEO, said: “We are delighted to resume LIVE broadcast of all Saturday 16:00 Mecca games on beIN SPORTS channels. The English Premier League is a primary property and we are very happy to bring back this weekend excitement to our millions of subscribers in the region.”

English Premier League CEO, Richard Scudamore added: “beIN SPORTS strong Anti-piracy measures have proved to be successful and we are very happy to work hand in hand with broadcasters to address the issue on a more global scale.”

And their new player and constant buffering is atrocious. More than happy with Star (though loads of folks aren't :pac: ).

Maybe its down to Cyberghost servers, I use Xbmc on a Zotac box with Private Internet Access through openvpn and it was flawless last Saturday afternoon.

Did you remember to change the time zone ? This is required when using a PC , Not sure if it applies XBMC or whatever it is called now

Where do I change time zone?

Within the XBMC app itself?
