NBA International League Pass playback issues - skipping chunks of games

Hi all!
Over the last 2 days I am experiencing problems when playing back games on the ATV.
The games start fine and I get full quality HD streaming but as the game progreses the picture "freezes" and when I check teh playback the time is still increasing. After 5-20 seconds have elapsed the game starts again but has sometimes jumped forward several minutes.
I have rebooted the ATV and my router but has not cleared the problem.
I was watching the Cavs Vs Nuggets this morning (7am UK time) and all was good for 40+ mins and then this problem reared it's ugly head again.
Is anybody else experiencin this issue?
Dave

Same issue here; AppleTV on latest release, I had two games which skipped a couple of times, each time just a few seconds, and one game which skipped 10+ minutes per occurence, causing the 2nd half to be done in approx 2 minutes ;-(
I logged an issue via: http://leaguepasssupport.nba.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=7801 ; I suggest you will do the same to get the attention at the NBA league pass people as well.
Update: I got an auto-reply suggesting to use [email protected] for International League Pass support.

NBA TV international league pass on apple TV?

I see that there is a MLB programme on apple tv and i know that in america they also have the NBA TV on their apple tv's. Are we likely to be getting NBA on apple tv in te UK? I subscribe to league pass and would prefer to have it straight to the tv rather than streaming it from my laptop or ipad where you lose quite a bit of quality.

I have the same question. I'm in Mexico, and I've been a subscriber of NBA International League Pass for many years.
It would be great to have it on my Apple TV!

Im having problems using NBA GAMETIME - League Pass streaming on WIFi

It works on 3G but not on WiFi! Please help! its says it can't locate my location but i have it to ALLOW MY LOCATION on the settings...

I'm glad I read this...I was just about to jet to my nearby bestbuy to pick up an ATV2 for nba league pass broadband.
Not surprised at all. I have subscribed to NBA LP Broadband for the past two years and have always been disappointed in its poor implementation of delivering its content. The worst is to check into a game right after it's live feed has ended, and to be greeted by the "this game will be available for replay soon" message. This lack of "transparency" in the way content is delivered runs across the board in their poorly conceived UI interface, the cludgy log-in process (through a series of webpages), and the poor poor customer support.
They really don't care. There are no competitors, there is no pressure to improve it. Content-delivery for NBA games, and probably all professional sports, is seriously seriously broken. The only reason to own cable/satellite for me, is to watch the NBA, but it's such a waste. And if you just decide to go with the NBA LP Broadband, you miss out on all the marquee games only available on ESPN and TNT (and now NBA TV) throughout the season. And then when the playoffs roll around, you're screwed, because you can only watch the playoffs on cable/satellite.
The only moment of grace, is to watch over-the-air HD feeds of the NBA Finals, which is FREE.
I'm curious to see if Apple and the NBA can get NBA LPB working on the ATV2, but I wouldn't hold your breath. The fault probably most likely falls on the NBA's end, not Apple's, past subscribers of NBA LPB, like me, know.

Fullscreen 2nd Display on OSX (NBA League Pass streaming)

When using NBA's League Pass service you can stream live and pre-recorded games. It uses Flash to do this and has a full screen option. Howver, when I full screen it on my 2nd display, and then click on something else on the main display, the video goes back to windowed mode.
The strange thing about this is I can get it to stay full screen sometimes. It seems completely random and there is no fool-proof method to make it do it every time. I did a bunch of reading through Google and found out that this functionality is supposed to be possible since version 10.3 with Flash Player.
Is there a way to make it do this every time? I found some information for Windows users where they can edit a DLL file using a hex editor and it will make it work properly, consistently. Is there anything like that which I can do for OSX?

Nobody???

NBA League Pass in HD

Does Verizon offer the NBA League Pass in HD. All the games are now broadcast in HD through the local netwroks. My buddy told me I would have to pay Verizon extra $$$ to get all the games in HD. Is this true?
I'm not ordering NBA League Pass unless all the games are in HD. I alread yknow NBATv games are in HD, but I want to know if the League Pass games are going to be in HD?
Can someone inform me. Thanks!

Ok. Just got off the phone with Verizon and here is their answer:
"The NBA League Pass will be shown in HD once the Free Trial is over. Direct TV and Comcast are not offering the games in HD either until the Free Trial is over."
I don't know if there is any truth to this because you would think they would show the games in HD for the free trial to get more people to purchase the league pass. Sounds fishy. Then he tried to get me to sign up today for the league pass after I just told him I did not want it unless the package was in HD.
I'm going to wait until after the free trial is over and ask some of my buddies if all the games are in HD.
He tried to convince me to order it and he'll make a "note" on my account to refund all my money for the league pass if it is not in HD. You can only imagine what aheadache that would be trying to get my money back.

HT202157 NBA league pass UK

I have just bought Apple TV (in the UK) so that I can watch NBA with league pass but when I try to purchase the league pass it says it is not available in my geography. Any ideas?

I guess I could be wrong, I'm pretty sure it didn't used to be, I know one of them was but I thought it was a different one.
Does it say the pass is available or just the other stuff like videos.

NBA League Pass / Youtube videos not smooth

Hello,
For something like 4 months I can't watch a NBA game properly nor a Youtube video as it's always kind
of laggy and not smooth. It's watchable, but not perfect (about 28 to 29 fps according to fraps but it looks really sluggish at times)
I even bought a new computer because I thought it was coming from there but the
issue is still there. My configuration :
Windows 7/8 (doesn't matter, doesn't solve the issue)
Radeon HD 5450
AMD FX 4130 Quad-Core Processor 3,8 Ghz
4 Go of DDR3 RAM
Hard disk of 500 Go
About 30-40 % of my CPU is used when I run the LP according to my task manager
so the problem does not come from there. And it's not my connection as I rarely
watch games live. I tried to uncheck the material acceleration, no result. I
tried to lower the quality of the video, no result. Do you have any idea where that could come from ?
I hope you'll be able to help me.
Thank you.

Yep blatantly an adobe issue. I think people have just tired of chasing Adobe but there were quite a few posts a while back bemoaning sluggish playback relating to League Pass. Everyone was able to playback smoothly under HTML5 or using smart phones. I don't know if it will work but if you try rolling back to Flash 11.5 it will likely run much smoother. Adobe versions beyond 11.6 have caused a great many problems but they are not acknowledging, see this thread

Been looking for NBA League Pass for a long time - anybody got any positive news ?

I bundled FIOS TV with Verizon back in the summer (2008) -
I dropped DIRECTV because I was assured Verizon FIOS TV carried NBA League Pass -
Well it is 20 games into the season now and still no NBA League Pass on Verizon FIOS TV (at least not in Northern Va)
3 weeks ago the channel guide from "MENU" on the FIOS TV remote control says NBA Channels "Coming soon" for channels 1490 to 1499 or so.
I have called Verizon at the 1-888 and 1-800 #s several times and questioned what is going on but nobody seems to knows anything ,
I even got an email from a Verizon store on November 18 that stated
"The NBA package went active on Saturday. If we can assist you in placing your order to make it go as smooth as possible please let us know".
Does anybody know what is going on ?
I think I have been patiently waiting way too long .
I hate to have to get DIRECTV or Dishnetwork on just one TV , (I bundled because I was trying to save money) but .....
Thanks for any info ,
Signed,
Extremely frustrated with Verizon

sorry I have not replied sooner but I have not checked the "forum" since I went back to DirectTV on the big screen in the basement so I could
get NBA League Pass --
Shortly after I posted my "issue" I finally got some accurate information (I believe) from Techman - who I think is a Verizon employee -
anyway Techman seems to know more than anyone else I talked to with Verizon , and he said something about NBA LP might possibly be on Verizon
TV -by the end of January, but nothing "set in stone" - so ...
(I was definitely tired of waiting way back in early November... know what I mean?)
thanks again Techman for the info

My apple tv will not authenticate my nba league pass login--I am in the United States and the same login/pw works for my iPad, but not for apple tv.

My NBA League Pass login cannot be authenticated -- I am in the United States and the same league pass name and password are working for my iPad, but not for my apple tv.

I have this same issue and am becoming quite upset. NBA has absolutely no contact information to call and resolve this issue. I just spent $139.99 and cannot connect to Apple TV, while the same login works just fine on my iMac and iPad. When I signed up, the information provided indicated that I could view live games on Apple TV. What the ****?

What In The World Is Going On With NBA League Pass Not Being In HD

I just read a article posted on Dec 21 about "Indemand" recentrly upgrading their systems to carry more content in HD.
http://sportsvideo.org/main/blog/2011/12/21/in-demand-upgrades-comcast-media-center-control-room/
The upgrade was supposed to effect NBA League Pass in providing the game in HD rather than just having one HD Channel. But last night I noticed on Fios that nothing has changed. I was looking forward to buying NBA league Pass this year but I refuse to pay the same fee that other cable systems like AT&T Uverse & Direct Tv are charging top carry league pass in HD in comparison to Standard Def Fios is providing me.
I have been following this forum and news on other sites and have yet to see Verizon Fios put out any Press Release about NBA League Pass.
What is going on!!?!?!!?!

NBA League Pass access via BT account

Hello,
It is great to watch NBA games in BT Sport. Thanks a lot to everybody who makes it real.
http://sport.bt.com/watchnow/programmes/bt-sport-agrees-multiyear-nba-broadcast-deal-S11363853884297
"Fans will also be able to access a free game on nba.com and NBA LEAGUE PASS International. Full schedule details of all of these digital games will be confirmed at a later date."
Still, I could not see any news about NBA LEAGUE PASS access. I checked offical NBA web site www.nba.com as well but there is nothing.
Do you have any idea?
Thanks

Hi!!!!
Last weekend i registered on NBA PASS or NBA GAMETIME and on the NBA video site it had the Kings game on the Sunday free to BT Sports customers, so if you register on this site first and look out for the information for games ahead on the games screen it will come up with a game.
When you sign up, once you see it says bt game this week, it will give option to find out more click on it, and then subscribe to that match and follow whatever it tell's you from that, i didin't actually use the free game as i am already on NBA pass but i just seen it on the site, so i'm assuming this is how it's done .
Hope that helps
If i am not breaking the rules, here is the link i was talking about.

Can't watch NBA League Pass on WiFi

I am experiencing the following with NBA League Pass:
1) On TV: I can watch all teams.
2) On my iPad and iPhone with AT&T cellular data: I can watch all teams. But this is too expensive, as one game will eat up 3 Gigs of data.
3) On my computer, iPad, and iPhone with WiFi from Time Warner cable Internet: I can't watch my favorite team. I can watch all of the 29 other teams, but not the only team I care about. And that one team is 2,000 miles from where I live, and so it is not my local team and therefore it should not be blacked out -- but it is for all live and archived games.
4) A Time Warner technician came to my home today and found that if I hook up my computer and Time Warner router directly to Ethernet, I can watch my favorite team on my computer. But this is not a solution, because then I don't have WiFi at all for anything. The technician said the problem is with my Apple Airport Express WiFi device because it is somehow blocking my favorite team and he suggested calling Apple, but my Airport Express is just now out of warranty. He also said I could purchase a new Airport Express.
I work late and many times there is another team that plays on my team's channel for a later game, and so I need to be able to watch archived games on my computer or iPad with WiFi. I know that games are not available for two hours after they are played, but for me all of my team's archived games are blocked for the entire season when I try to use WiFi.
NBA League Pass said the problem is with Time Warner and claimed that the proof of that is that I can watch NBA League Pass games on my iPad and iPhone using AT&T cellular data -- and so that narrowed down the problem to WiFi from Time Warner cable Internet. I can toggle back and forth from cellular data and see the game, and then to WiFi but the same game is blacked out. I am not using a VPN that masks my location, but NBA League Pass said there is something about my WiFi that is misreporting my location. I tried using NBA League Pass' tool that checks my IP address location, and it shows that it is local to my area as it should. NBA League Pass said that when someone moves there is often a problem, and I did move six weeks ago 30 miles to a new Time Warner zone.
This is frustrating because I spent $189 for NBA League Pass to watch my favorite team but can't watch many of its games. I am also concerned that next season the same problem will occur and I won't be able to watch my favorite team on WiFi.
I am getting 33 Mbps speeds on my computer and about 27 Mbps on my Ipad with WiFi, so the speed is okay.
I am seeking help from anyone who knows how to fix this problem with watching NBA League Pass on WiFi. Should I buy another AirPort Express (I just bought one three months ago)? Should I dump Time Warner and go to Verizon FIOS? Or is there a setting I can change that would solve this problem? Thank you in advance.

The answer is at the Apple customer support site.
