For the international folk anyone having similar issues.
Firstly on Apple TV the nhl app does not work for the preds sharks games in Prague.
On my phone the new nhl.tv app works for the games. But every time I open I have to log out and log in again to be able to watch. Even though it shows my subscription info.
Hopefully they get the kinks worked out when the full season starts next week.

I found the apk for the new app and tried side loading on my Nvidia shield, but no luck. Says installing but app icon never appears.

Anyone catch the sjs-nsh games over the past 2 days? These were regular season games played in Prague.
Quality of both games were very poor on both Sn now and nhl.tv. Highest quality level on NHL.tv is 720p, although it looked closed to 480p. I'm hoping this is only bc the games were played in Europe.

I bought the new NHL.tv subscription and checked out the recent San Jose/Nashville game to test out the player. So far it doesn't look bad. That being said, it still has the same issues of showing the time bar, only having a skip 10 sections option, and including all the dead air of commercial breaks on non-live games instead of condensing the game to skip commercials. The quality of the video was also the same as before (mediocre).
However, it does fix my #1 issue with the old player, which was when the player showed who had scored each goal before the goal was actually scored in the game. Now there is no display of the goal scorers, so the only spoiler I need to worry about is the length of time left in the game.

How were you watching?
On computer, the time bar goes beyond the length of the game, and you can use it to skip ahead more than 10s, so that should fix 2 of your issues.
About the time progress bar or the skip bar: I found a great workaround to hide it on Windows 10 with Google Chrome (64 bit).
First, the obvious part:
Log into nhl.tv using your paid for subscription. Toggle on “Hide Scores.”
Now, the not so obvious part:
Put your browser window into windowed mode. Make sure that it is only about 400 pixels high, i. e. adjust its vertical dimensions.
Now, navigate to the game you want to watch. As the window is quite tiny, this may be somewhat inconvenient but alas. Select the broadcast feed and, if available, choose whether you want to watch the game from the start or not.
Once you have done this, the video should be fetching. This is the crucial part where you do not want to scroll down. If you do, you get a glimpse of the skip bar and the total length of the game.
Finally, the actual solution:
Hit F12 on your keyboard. This opens the DevTools of the browser. Do not shy away from the plethora of code in there. Remain calm. Navigate to the icon which has three dots stacked on top of each other. Per default, it should be almost all the way to the right, near the “X” icon which would close the DevTools. When you hover your mouse cursor over the button with the three stacked dots, there should be an info pop-up stating “Customize and control DevTools.”
Click on that icon. On the top of the newly opened sub-menu, select the “Dock side” option to “Undock into separate window.”
You should now have two instances of Chrome running: The first one is the game feed with the game running in the background. The second one should be the DevTools menu. In that menu, per default, the “elements” tab should be active. Of its several lines of code, one single line should be highlighted in gray. The line should read:
Do not edit that line. Rather, perform a right click onto it. In the context menu, select “Expand recursively.”
Wait, be patient. Your computer has a lot of processing to do now.
After 20 seconds or so, all code branches associated with the line of code quoted above should have opened up. Once this has happened, the most important operation starts:
Hit CTRL+F to initiate a search query. Search for the following term:
This search query should bring up 2 results. The first one is of relevance. It should bring you to a line of code which reads as follows:
Again, do not edit this line of code. Rather, perform a right click on it. In the context menu, select “Hide element.”
Confirm your action by performing another right click onto the item, i. e. on
Ensure that in the context menu, the “Hide element” option has a checkmark to its left.
Done.
Switch to the other window of Google Chrome, i. e. the window which has had the game running in the background. Navigate to the video feed. Go full screen with a double click on the moving pictures or by pressing the F key on your keyboard.
To play/pause, use the spacebar.
To skip forwards or backwards 10 seconds, use the cursor keys left or right.
To exit or enter full screen mode, press F on your keyboard.
For these hotkeys to work, it may be necessary to left click onto the video image so that the focus is on the feed.
Keep in mind that this workaround needs to be performed every time you refresh the nhl.tv page. With some practice using the NHL game of October 8 2022, I can routinely do this in less than one minute.

I watched the Bruins/Devils from NESN HD feed, and some of Leafs/Wings from TSN HD feed. The TSN feed was so much better picture wise than NESN. Do others notice significant differences between HD feeds based on the network?

Thanks for the reply. As a Bruins' fan that might be deciding factor in getting NHL CI for the year. When the team you most want to watch has a crappy feed, why spend the money.

I was watching on computer, and I honestly didn't notice if the time bar goes beyond the end. Depending on how long it goes beyond the end, it might not actually solve the problem. If, for example, it's always 5 minutes then it will still spoil whether or not overtime is coming. And the real issue is in the playoffs, where I know immediately I'm dealing with a game with several overtimes because the time bar is much, much longer than normal.
Also, yes of course I can just use the time bar to scroll, but a), that's very inexact, and often leads to me skipping ahead into several minutes into a period if I guess wrong. Also, using the time bar means seeing the time bar, which leads to the issues I'm talking about above. During important games, I try to keep it at full screen and just use the arrow keys to move ahead 10 seconds at a time. It can take forever, but it's better than having the end of the game spoiled.
In any case, I went back to check where the time bar ended in the San Jose game, and instead I got a lovely error message, which I'm attaching in case anyone gets the same thing.

I've watched many bruin games in the past via nesn feed on bell center ice satt tv without issues at all .
are you experimenting with sn now premium ? if so , the jurys still out for many of us until we get a full season to judge the overall experience . I'll agree that the TSN feeds have been superb on sn now so far in comparison to some others but nesn has a good production crew for a regional sports network so it should be a quality stream.

Thanks for the reply.
Yes, this was through Bell Sat TV. I have no plans of trying SN Now premium.
My comments had nothing to do with production crew issues, and only with picture quality compared to the TSN feed.
If the NESN feed looked as good as the TSN, it would be a no brainer to sign up.

I successfully installed the app on my shield. But unfortunately, it only takes a couple of seconds when I enter the app, then it just shuts down / auto exiting.
Still no Android TV solution for NHL.tv then, really annoying.

OK.
So one day before the season starts and all I get on NHL.TV(Fire TV Stick) is "Feed Unavailable" and both games tomorrow don't even have a feed.
Though, those will be broadcasted by Sky Germany anyways and the Vegas vs. L.A. feed had a feed but that is now removed.
Hopefully it means they're working on it to get their sh** together starting tomorrow/Wednesday.

So NHL.tv app (Not the BAMTECH one) is not available for FireTV or Android phones?

It's available on Android (phones and tablets), but not Android TV (i.e. nvidia shield) or FireTV at the moment. Though their webpage says it ought to be available for both. So maybe something is coming.
I'm under the impression that it isn't - that there is no FireTV app yet available.
You probably have the old app Installed. Developer for this old app is bamtech and is no longer used. Search the app store for NHL.tv - the developer should be "NHL"
Same. Realized it installed fine but when I go to open app nothing ever happens. Shame.

I've installed that one now.
I still can't watch the Nashville - San Jose regular season games and if I want to watch highlights(which I could with the old app) it tells my that I don't have a subscription for it.
Though, at least it says I've got a subscription, so there's that.
