+# NFL Game Pass Kodi Plugin #
+**version 0.10.1 — Barry Sanders Edition**
+
+Before reading any further, please understand that this addon is unofficial and
+is not endorsed or supported by the NFL in any way. 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
