Download NHL.TV full game feeds or watch the feed with VLC
1.0K
Helps NHL.TV subscribers to download game feeds or view them with VLC. Downloading the games allows watching games offline and/or with external media player applications.
Main problem with official NHL.TV player user interfaces (web, mobile, TV) is that they are not good when watching games afterwards and trying to not get spoiled. NHL.TV apps allow to hide scores, but the timeline is still shown, especially when skipping intermissions and ads. It is most problematic during the playoffs, when timeline reveals if game went to OT and how long it lasted.
External media player applications (like Kodi) can be customized so that game end time is not shown.

Create auth.json in suitable directory (e.g. /home/user/.nhltv-fetcher). Content should define NHL.TV account information (email and password)
{ "email": "my_nhltv_account_emailaddress", "password": "my_nhltv_account_password" }
Run the container. Example:
docker run -it --rm -v /mnt/download:/app/download -v /home/user/.nhltv-fetcher:/app/config --network=host rhdpin/nhltv-fetcher:linux-x64 -c -p /app/download -a /app/config/auth.json
First -v parameter binds download folder from host to container. In the example host folder is /mnt/download and it's mapped to /app/download in container. Second -v parameter binds config folder from host to container. In the example command host folder is /home/user/.nhltv-fetcher and it's mapped to /app/config/auth.json in container to read the authentication file.
Parameters for the app: --help
