NBC Sports RSNs: Stream Not Available

Channels DVR Server TV Everywhere

You should probably start planning for another way to watch the playoffs. Since the streams are now DRM protected it is unlikely this ever comes back. :frowning:

At least for the playoffs TNT/ABC/ESPN are still available

Understandably, it's a cat-and-mouse game, and ABC/ESPN/TNT will be plenty for the NBA playoffs, dealing with going back to the NBC Sports app/web for the rest. I hope something can be figured out over the summer, but if not, it's time to hunt for alternatives again :disappointed:

Any chance of an open source solution similar to ESPN+ ?

Hi there,
Getting the video stream isn't the issue.
The issue is being able to decode and work with DRM formats.
The ESPN+ docker doesn't decode video. If they decide to encrypt the streams, we will need to move on.

Thank you for the explanation. I wonder if it’s just a matter of time before all TVE channels move to this format. Anything they can do to throw a wrench in it and control the way we consume content…

It appears that SNY may have gone as well although that could be a geolock thing for me.
