Hi All,

I stream with NHL Game Centre, which uses a flash video streaming service.

I find the video stream lacking and choppy and would like to put it through JRiver's MadVR, for once I care less about the audio than the video.

Is there a way that I can do this?

No.

It is unlikely that JRiver would be able to support this, even if they tried, as the NHL is almost certainly using the DRM on the stream (or at least keying playback securely to their player).

Streaming services are, by and large, locked down.

If you were extremely clever, you could rig up an AppleTV to an HDMI Input Card (like a Blackmagic Design Intensity) and then run it through MC's Television input.

But that would add weird latency, probably wouldn't solve your buffering problems, and would be very klunky.  Plus, if the AppleTV used HDCP on the app content output (it might, dunno, it seems to vary) then you'd need to strip out HDCP too with a hardware stripper.

Not worth it.

Seems like the sorts of issues that I assumed were there, I hate DRM.  Not in place for the consumer, only the provider....
