The plugin SVTPlay allows for watching content from Swedish broadcaster SVT on kodi.
Using Libreelec on RPi5, many shows fails playback and kodi log shows that a 403 http error code has been received.
Surprisingly, playback using the same kodi version on Ubuntu (amd64) works fine.
How to reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Install plugin SVTPlay. Note: much of the content is geoblocked to Sweden.
Play any episode of the show Bluey (or Rubble and Crew)
See error in kodi.log.
Information
LibreELEC Version: 12.1
SVTPlay 5.1.21-matrix1 (installed through addon-browser)
