Integrate MLB.TV, NBA League Pass and NFL GamePass Services

With Tidal recently being integrated into Plex for Music, it would be really cool to see the same type of integration for the 3 major sports streaming services. If these services were added, it would finally round out Plex in that it would encompass a full media experience. Between Live TV/DVR, Movies, TV, Music (both local and through Tidal) and Pictures the only media left that Plex can’t do is Live Sports. If this were added, I literally wouldn’t have to use any other app to access any kind of media in my household.

I should add that DRM shouldn’t be a concern either. I can see why Hulu, Netflix etc cant be added due to DRM constraints, but these services do not use DRM. I have python scripts that just authenticate with each service and receive back the mu3/mp4 url to access the video streams and they all work just fine.

Thanks!

I think you’re mis-applying the idea of DRM. I can stream Hulu, Netflix and Amazon Prime through single a macOS app (Friendly Streaming). I can’t record shows through that app however… that’s where DRM comes in.

Right, I wasn’t expecting to record. All of these services let you access previous games for the season anyway. I was just stating this because I saw another post where someone requested Netflix, Hulu integrated and the response was they can’t because of DRM restrictions (even though recording wasn’t the goal).

Thanks for the heads-up though! Much appreciated!

If this is true you should be able to use telly or xteve in livetv-dvr to access these streams.
