I was trying to think of an open source addon that uses legal authentication for streaming on Kodi, so I thought of Sportsnet. You have to be a Sportsnet subscriber, and enter your username and password to stream. The SportsNet addon source code can be found here: https://github.com/micahg/plugin.video.snnow
I figured I could edit the SportsNet addon for my purposes as described below:
Eastlink has a service called Eastlink Stream: http://www.eastlink.ca/cabledigitaltv/ea…tream.aspx and I want to be able to stream it on my Android TV (with a legitimate username and password), but their app support is only for Android mobile phones and tablets… not the Android TV system. So I thought that I could attempt to write a Kodi addon for it.
I understand that you can’t just tell me step by step exactly what to do, but can anyone point me to some documentation specifically dealing with addons that require authentication? Eastlink also has a special player called Cisco Videoguard Player. I know that with live streams in Kodi, they use their own players.
Anyways… if someone could point me in the right direction, that would be great.
