Stuttering/buffering videos with Amazon VOD plugin

Help and Support Raspberry Pi
10

It’s Amazon VOD also required Widevine CDM ???

If yes i thinks it’s related to issue/trouble i have reported here:

@chewiiie you can check the version of CDM installed on your osmc setup ?
You can do it from inputstream.helper…

On my recent TEST i have also tryed to REMOVE completely the CDM (renamed the CDM folder) and after that i reboot my Raspberry.
At reboot i have (re)install it by inputstream.helper and i have obtain this:
CDM 4.10.2391.0 Extracted from Chrome OS FIEVEL 14268.67.0.

On my case i have tryed to watch a DAZN content using the Maven85 DAZN addons (here → GitHub - Maven85/plugin.video.dazn).

The trouble/issue reported here it’s very similar how i obtain whit my osmc setup :slight_smile:

*EDIT *

On my side i have also tryed to restore a OLD version of CDM… the previous version 4.10.2252.0 but apparently it’s not help to resolve the issue.

Also…
On my recent test… on Inputstream Adaptive setting tryed to disable “Media Played” value:
If i select “Video” only all struttering/buffering issue it’s disappears.
If i select “Audio” only or “All” trouble and all content it’s unwatchable.

On my side i can’t test Amazon VOD content… but as already sayd the issue/trouble reported it’s very similar to my :slight_smile:

I don’t know if it’s important but on “normal” log level i can see some errors also present on your debug log… look:
