Can confirm. Only livestream works. Looks like a json change.

[on4bam]

Correction. Livestream is OK and after a program ends it can be started from the TV guide. As long as a program is running it can't be started from the TV-guide. RPi + Libreelec

[TScheen]

I can confirm the issue. Matrix on Philips Android TV 7.0. I can still start a program from TV Guide, but all of my favourites, Het Journaal, Terzake, etc. receive this error message. Live stream still works.

[LeEcHeR123]

I can confirm the issue on Nexus 20.2 Nvidia Shield Pro Android Tv

[mediaminister]

I'm working on a fix. (https://github.com/add-ons/plugin.video.vrt.nu/pull/1127) You can test already an early version: Kodi 19/20/21: plugin.video.vrt.nu-2.5.24+matrix.1-gone-a45a2d8.zip Kodi 18: plugin.video.vrt.nu-2.5.24-gone-a45a2d8.zip

[TScheen]

Just tried the matrix fix, and the bug seems to have gone. Thx !👍

[on4bam]

Just did a quick test.. seems to work again. Thanks for the fast fix.

[bhooyberghs]

Can confirm, the fix solved it! Thx !

[Clyde72]

Can confirm, issue solved with the fix. RPI 3B+, Kodi 19,5. Thx for the quick fix!

[LeetaSehmwa]

Confirmed on an nVidia Shield Pro. Launching individual episodes works (example, from the "Recent" tab), but the action "go to program" to access seasons and episode lists does not (from any starting point). Proposed fix works!

@mediaminister

The fix doesn't seem to work for 'Thuis'. The list is empty. It does work for 'het journaal'

[mediaminister]

I'm still improving the fix, Thuis is fixed: Kodi 19/20/21: plugin.video.vrt.nu-2.5.24+matrix.1-tests-6de34ff.zip Kodi 18: plugin.video.vrt.nu-2.5.24-tests-6de34ff.zip

[peno64]

@mediaminister great job!
