Kodi is not able to play .ts file anymore

v0l · 17 January 2018 19:44

hello,

I just installed latest osmc for rpi3 using disk image, enabled the PVR client and trying to play a streaming, but I got this error:

There’s not enough log there to be very helpful, but one thing you might check is to see if you are using MMAL or OMXPlayer as the Kodi player. OMXPLAYER does not handle streams well (which is what the PVR client is), and on my setup I just get a blank screen if I enable OMX hardware acceleration in the Kodi player settings. If I enable MMAL hardware acceleration and disable the OMX hardware stuff, everything works fine.

v0l · 17 January 2018 22:37

hello,

it is already using mmal with hw acceleration. What kind of information do you need to know more?

Debug logs would be useful.

You may want to check your PVR setup.

v0l · 17 January 2018 23:33

Same url works with vlc on my laptop

ActionA · 18 January 2018 00:22

Provide a complete log if you wish to receive relevant support information.

v0l · 18 January 2018 19:12

hi,

here is the full log till the error
https://pastebin.com/7Y2PAYZY

I noticed that the url doesn’t contain the streaming directly, but has 2 http redirects before the right stream.

JimKnopf · 18 January 2018 19:32

Would be nice if you provide all data as described in the article @ActionA told you, next time.

Please check your NAS whether you can set SMBv3 protocol as max. protocol to use (for Synology and most QNAP this should work).
In case SMBv3 is not supported on your NAS, set your OSMC device to use SMBv1.

v0l · 18 January 2018 19:37

smb? the pvr url is not controlled by me, and it is on internet, not internal ip. It works with vlc and if I try to do wget of that link there are 2 http redirect (Location).

Does the player support http url redirect?

Tom_Doyle · 18 January 2018 19:38

Hi,

Just for testing, does the stream play if you disable hardware acceleration?

Thanks Tom.

JimKnopf · 18 January 2018 19:40

Ahh, sorry, totally confuses this by only having seen the x.x.x.x for the IP, no, no idea what’s going on here but it looks like the data is not coming in at all or fast enough.

What happens if you download the .ts-file locally to a USB-stick or -disk and try to play it locally?

v0l · 18 January 2018 19:43

it is a stream, I can download it correctly with wget, but the file content is raw, it works with vlc.
As far as I can understand it is a http redirection problem and the player can’t follow http redirection… do you know if there is a player that is able to follow redirections?

v0l · 18 January 2018 19:43

it is the same, it seems to be an http redirection problem with the player…

Tom_Doyle · 18 January 2018 19:48

Hi,

Have you asked the iptv provider about this?

Could be being blocked at there end:

Provider could be blocker user agent, some have started blocking kodi & osmc.
Also MAC address, easier if its this you can normally ask them to add back in, its normally done on the wired mac, even if you are using wifi. (I normally submit both to be on the safe side.)

Thanks Tom.

v0l · 18 January 2018 19:53

already asked, there is no block on iptv provider.

Tom_Doyle · 18 January 2018 20:15

Hi,

Have you tried this on kodi on windows, just trying to find if its specific to osmc or something that has changed in with kodi in general?

Thanks Tom.

v0l · 18 January 2018 21:25

hello Tom,

same error on kodi with ubuntu. So it seems a general kodi issue.

Tom_Doyle · 18 January 2018 21:36

Hi,

I would report this on the kodi forums: https://forum.kodi.tv. More chance of a fix there.

But we can continue to investigate the issue:

Which PVR client are you using?
I assuming the iptv provider, provides a playlist is it m3u or m3u8?

Thanks Tom.
