.... and has now been re-engineered completely, now not as 'flash' with navigation, but still seems to have everything still. Hopefully come the US Open, there'll be a lot more info about the additional court coverage made available too.

They have got rid of the multiscreen, and you can't rewind 3 hours anymore either.

Still not fixed the bug of the next day's schedule showing as today during the 11pm-midnight hour.

So the 'New' Eurosport Player collapsed in spectacular style in Germany tonight, when it was the sole outlet for tonight's live Bundesliga Game. (They're actually playing out football ONLY on the player for some matches they've got rights for on Friday nights.)

Really is a horrible update - far less user friendly than the original. Really not good enough to broadcast the Olympics through.

Eurosport Player when it works really is a powerful resource 17 off broadcast streams tonight
US Open Tennis, Second tier French Rugby Union and US Cycling.

Just a shame it never works for long. Was watching Edmund earlier then got "media error" and "not available in your coubtry", then having flicked through half a dozen unlabelled streams found the match gain only for it to be a holding graphic.

The latest update has just killed it off completely.

They've been a little rubbish with the labelling of the streams but other than that I've had no problems using it this week.

I tend to have two or three streams open in different tabs and flick between them rather than keep going back to the menu.

All live material has been working perfectly for me apart from the labelling issue this week.

The only issue I have is on mobile I have to make sure I fully exit the app otherwise if I go back to it later, the stream doesn't load.

(August 25) So the 'New' Eurosport Player collapsed in spectacular style in Germany tonight...



Eurosport Player is making the headlines in Germany:

- "Bundesliga broadcast: Again problems with Eurosport Player" - Der Spiegel (translated) / (original in German)

Eurosport Germany has just gained some of Sky's football rights for the 2017/18 season, so it's embarrassing for them. The club Hamburg SV have written them a strongly-worded email, since two of their games were affected.

it seems this was unveiled in March, but I'm not sure anyone's mentioned it here. Eurosport are doing an NBC and have their own logo for the games:

http://i.eurosport.com/2017/03/15/2043435.jpg

Reminds me a bit of the Paramount logo.
Quote:
The logo brings together the current Eurosport wordmark with the PyeongChang logo typeface, underpinned by the iconic Olympic rings. The three existing logos are headed by a mountain silhouette – the natural setting of the Winter Games. The silhouette background is arched echoing the shape of the Olympic rings and will come in several variations, using a vibrant colour palette expressing the spirit of modern K-pop culture.
