Hi,
I basically use almost exclusively 2 plugins, both relying on Inputstream adaptive / Widevine. Since the last update of either OSMC or Widevine, playback is impossible because of the heavy buffering.
VRTnu: buffering more or less every 5 seconds, both in live and non-live streams
Netflix: heavy audio sync issues, can’t keep up with the image…
I just did a fresh reinstall of 2021-12.1 + both plugins on my Vero4K+, to be sure, but still same problems.
Furthermore, now Netflix doesn’t even want to launch I installed per the following instructions, but had a build error with pycryptodomex… How install the addon · CastagnaIT/plugin.video.netflix Wiki · GitHub
Now connected via Ethernet (wifi gave the same issues), but the switch actually shows that the connection is only 10/100Mbit instead of Gigabit… Is this possible?
@fzinken
I got the same issue and it’s telling 1000Mbps
I switched from LibreELEC hoping to see it fixed here but nope
I even have this same issue on my Kodi Leia installation.
Is the latest Kodi for RPi3 using Hardware Decoding ?

Please post all the information from
InputStream Helper> InputStream Helper information.
I’m guessing you are using Widevine 4.10.2252.5
Im having the same issue.
It’s working on my Windows machine but that’s using Widevine 4.10.2391.0.
This version is not available for Linux Arm, so support might be dead for those platforms?
Update: After several reinstalls of the latest Widevine (4.10.2252.5) the issue only occurs randomly now.
Update Widevine using InputStream Helper> Reinstall Widevine.
Really confusing but at least works now.
Just reopen the video when it’s glitchy.
Kodi version 19.3 on arm Linux.
InputStream Helper version 0.5.8+matrix.1
InputStream Adaptive version 19.0.1
Widevine CDM is actually at version 4.10.2391.0, installled on 2022-01-08.
Extracted from Chrome OS image FIEVEL version 14268.67.0
Installed at /home/osmc/.kodi/cdm/
Aah sweeet!! Been scratching my head and googling over this one for a few days… Finally had the presence of mind to look into the forums and just found this. And then to see that the working solution was posted just an hour ago, beautiful!
I can confirm that I had the same problem on RPi 3 B+ and disabling http2 fixes it!
Damn was really hoping this would do the trick!
Created the advancedsettings.xml, copy-pasted those arguments, but no luck…
Can the file be otherwise empty, or do I need to add other lines…?
EDIT: asking the question is solving it… I added the opening and closing tags. Still no luck.
I did discover that disabling the audio stream (so only selecting video+subtitles) in the InputStream Adaptive settings seems to solve the constant buffering problems…
Omg… about one hours ago i have tryed to see “Atalanta - Inter” on Dazn.
i have an rpi2 whit current osmc build… i use the Dazn from Maven85 GitHub repo and i my personal user/password.
Until today i use dazn whitout any issue… today it’s not works… i have try to open some video from dazn various livestream and also some on demand show (like some documentary and some highlights of passed match) but i have same issue reported here.
all video goes in buffering immediately after some seconds and i can see the buffer reach only the 10% and all video it’s unplayable.
for some test i have test the widevine whit another addons… using “Mediaset Play” and open the livestream of “Italia 1” and here no issue.
Found by google this thread…
now i have also i add the “disable http2” tag on my advanced setting file.
later can i restart my pi2 and i can retry to open some other video from dazn and see if this help also me to resolve the issue.
if yes… thanks in advace…
wait some my feedback later… thanks again.
edit
added “disable http2” not resolve my issue.
dazn it’s completely right now unwatchable on my rpi2…
edit 2nd
i have also tryed to re(install) by inputstream helper…
reboot my pi2 not resolve… all dazn content it’s unwatchable how i report upper here
I installed per the following instructions, but had a build error with pycryptodomex… How install the addon · CastagnaIT/plugin.video.netflix Wiki · GitHub
