error when launching

[goosst]

Thank you very much for the plugin, would there be a chance you can correct me what I'm doing wrong:

• I'm getting the cookie by following the instructions in the pdf (I'm already not sure I should use this entire string, in your example it started with the AMCV_9, in mine this is somewhere half way.)
• cloned your repo, entered the cookie in the settings.xml and zipped it
• in kodi "installed from zip file" and entered my eurosport player credentials in the settings
• when launching It throws a not very meaningful error, below is the kodi.log when trying to launch the addon (twice): (I'm running xbian and using kodi 19.3.0.)

Hope you would be able to have a look, 
thanks!

Hello, I used the complete string. In your case starting with "st=" and ending with "55bfe".

According to the error message the character U2026 is the issue. This are the three points "..." (see https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2026/index.htm) That means you have not copied the complete string. You have only copied the start and end with '...' in the middle. Please try it again. You can also logoff and login again then you get a new string.

Hello,

thanks for the quick response, not sure what I would be doing different but my cookies just have three dots. Perfectly in the middle: the cookie is 1024 long and the dots occur at position 512.

I've tried to generate a different cookie four times, all seem to have the same pattern. Does your cookie also have a length of 1024 characters?

thanks

My error log is this... Worked fine on PC, doesn't work when switching to LibreElec.

I will create a separate issue, this does not seem api key related.

ok thanks, what's your setup if I can ask (windows, linux, ... )? (I was using xbian by the way when trying this out.)
