Well if it hasn't been released on DVD, and nobody has their hands on a screener, its going to be a cam.
Nothing anybody can do about that. Thats not Kodi's fault fer cryin out loud.
Maybe the pretty pictures will convince more people to give Kodi a try.
Thanks for all the work.
I'm playing around with my Kodi setup and thought I would pass on this experience before Saturday so as to hopefully save some headaches. I've got kodi on my Android phone, and I've been casting to the Chrome cast attached to my HDTV. If you have Kodi set up on a desktop or laptop, you would have to actually connect the computer to your tvs HDMI port to display kodi on the big screen.
The setup for Android devices uses a free app from the Google play store called Localcast. You will need to search and watch the YouTube video on this because it has detailed instructions for adding a specific file to your Kodi settings in order to enable casting to the tv. Once installed it works like a charm for most video sources...
...EXCEPT apparently for most live TV streams. This limitation is apparently one that is built in to Chromecast itself, not Kodi or Localcast. Chromecast will only accept certain streaming files and many live streams I have found will NOT successfully cast in the setup I have described, although the will play normally on the Android device if not casting.
So bottom line, depending on the streaming source for the game Saturday, if you have trouble getting it to work, you may have to forego the casting option and just watch on your computer.
Heartfelt thanks from an old guy who's technologically challenged. Followed your excellent instructions and am up and running! Am watching "Jurassic World" right now - good quality, so what if the version I'm streaming has Japanese subtitles😄 Thanks so much for taking the time to post instructions!You know what, tomorrow I'll delete kodi and redownload it and do a simple write up on here with screen shots if anyone thinks it's needed. I hate searching multiple places to get the info and in the different guides there will be errors in the setup because it's outdated. I can do a brief setup walk thru that gets everyone up and running on kodi in a matter of minutes ready for the Vol games, and with all the movie/shows.

Are the games pretty dependable? Been playing with Kodi for a few hours and seems a lot of the streams are hit or miss, at least in Genesis,Zeus, and a few of the other ones mentioned here.
Thanks for the guide. Watching the vandy and s.c games now on my fire TV stick. What other sites are your go to ones besides that first one? The vandy stream on the first site was no good so I had to browse a bit to find one that worked, but it is pretty crappy quality.If you follow the part of my guide describing how to go thru the sportdevil to pull up games then I'm pretty confident you won't miss out. Haven't encountered and of those streams missing yet.
