Request: RugbyPass.tv

Rugbypass was sold to Sky and then to World Rugby, they've now launched rugbypass.tv.

Maybe the addon can be updated to work with the new service.

""Watch full-match replays, highlights, tries and magical moments"."

I dont think will do live streams of France 23. Also, cant see any subscriptions yet? Just free login?

It's the world cup archive that might be worth while, full match replays of past WCs would be good but I haven't seen them yet. I guess they'll have live 7s on there too. Ya, only free login.

It will have some live world cup matches in territories where there isn't any broadcast deal.

Selected matches will be shown in certain countries. These matches will be visible on the home page of the RugbyPass TV website if available in your territory.

I guess it will be for countries not listed here. Edit: Which is mostly Asia, the original market for RugbyPass.

From https://info.rugbypass.tv/

RugbyPass TV is the #1 destination for:

• Classic Rugby World Cup matches
• Extended RWC 2023 highlights
• Rugby’s deepest archives
• Exclusive shows and documentaries
• Unseen interviews and analysis
• Live rugby streaming

So I don't think they'll stream live RWC 2023 matches.

..the FAQ says they will, also confirmed by Jim Hamilton who works for WR.

looks like they using dce-frontoffice.imggaming.com which is the same service as Sky Sport Now. So that should help make things a bit quicker i suspect

[matthuisman]

slyguy.rugbypass.tv -> v0.0.1 now in the repo

will need to wait for first live game to test that. but fingers crossed OK

[matthuisman]

i confirmed with a GREECE location, I get a new entry in HOME called "UPCOMING WORLD CUP" and it lists all the events coming up

If i go back to NZ location - it gives a GEO error. Otherwise I get No streams found

[kontell]

Same for me, just have to log out/ in when changing location. Awesome work!
