Not all features are +supported (see below) and it should be forever regarded as a beta release. It +may crash, spay your puppy, and/or cause your oven to not heat to 400°F +properly. + +If you're interested in helping out, just drop us an email or send a pull +request. Patches and (constructive) input are always welcome. + +## Any Dependencies? ## + +This addon requires Kodi Jarvis or later. XBMC Helix and Isengard will be +supported for awhile in the "Isengard" branch. + +This addon is in the official Kodi repository, and when installed from there, +all dependencies are installed automatically. However, if you're installing +directly from the source, make sure the following dependencies are installed: + * xmltodict (http://mirrors.kodi.tv/addons/jarvis/script.module.xmltodict/) + * Requests 2.x (http://mirrors.kodi.tv/addons/jarvis/script.module.requests/) + * m3u8 >= 0.2.10 (http://mirrors.kodi.tv/addons/jarvis/script.module.m3u8/) + * which needs iso8601 (http://mirrors.kodi.tv/addons/jarvis/script.module.iso8601/) + +## What is NFL Game Pass? ## + +NFL Game Pass is website that allows those with subscriptions to watch NFL +games. Archives of old games stretch back to 2009, coaches film (22 man view) is +available, as is audio from each team's radio network. Overall, it is a sweet +service offered by the NFL for those of us who must have our American Football +fix. + +## What is Game Pass Domestic? ## + +NFL Game Pass Domestic is the USA (and parts of Canada and UK) version of Game +Pass, but the service is blacked out during live games. Previously it lacked +other features, but with the mid-2015 revamping of their service, it seems the +two services have mostly converged (though we have yet to find a side-by-side +comparison). + +As most/all of the current developers are located outside of the Domestic +regions, testing, bug reports, and patches from Game Pass Domestic subscribers +is most appreciated. + +## Why write a plugin for Kodi? ## + +First off, we love Kodi and prefer consuming media through its interface. +Secondly, while there is a nice Flash interface, it's... well... written in +Flash. It's heavy, has limited browser support, and includes a bunch of bells +and whistles (social media, for example) that are simply distracting. We're here +to watch a game, nothing else. + +## What features are currently supported? ## + +By now, most core features are supported. + + * Archived games from 2011 to 2014 (both full and condensed) + * Live games + * Coaches Film (22 man view) + * NFL Network - Live + * A Football Life + * NFL Films Presents + * NFL Gameday + * Playbook + * NFL RedZone Archives + * NFL RedZone - Live + * Sound FX + * Super Bowl Archives + * Top 100 Players + * NFL Total Access + +Currently unsupported features: + * Archived games prior to 2011 + * Alternate team audio + * Coaches Show + +## Release names ## + +Want a release to be named after your player/coach of choice? Contribute to the +project in some way (code, art, debugging, beer, brazen — yet effective — +flattery, etc), and we'll gladly name a future release after them. + +## Roadmap ## + +A rough roadmap follows: + +* Kodi v17 (Krypton) Support +* Continue work towards feature completeness +* Stabilize Game Pass Domestic support +* Code cleanup |
