Some (DRM?) content plays way too fast and audio out of sync. But only so on CoreELEC. #890

Closed NofanTasi closed 3 years ago

Describe the bug

Series like for example 'The Investigation' are impossible to watch since content plays way too fast and audio out of sync. Perhaps garbled too.

I experience this on CoreELEC 19.x but not on gentoo x86_64 19.x

Since I do not watch foreaign series a lot I am not even sure when problem started. Sorry for that.

No other addon (like Streamz Yelo VTM-Go or NPO or Netflix) suffers from this,

I will post issue on CoreELEC as well.

To Reproduce

Play any episode of 'The Investigation' (or 'Des' or many other)

Expected behavior

Video and audio should proceed in sync and at normal speed.

Additional context

Log (if available)

not sure if relevant

I need a full debug log to investigate. See https://kodi.wiki/view/Log_file/Easy I don't own CoreELEC hardware, so I can't test this.

NofanTasi commented 3 years ago

dear mediaminister I fully understand your situation

I will upload a full log with nothing more and nothing less than a boot and an attempt to play.

I tried kodi log uploader addon but got a failure message ... here is a link to the kodo.log on my Gdrive https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1A60r5mmb_QRDnGhbmR67luBeDXaO1Cxi?usp=sharing

You could try to enable Widevine DRM in VRT NU Add-on settings. A different stream will be selected and maybe this fixes playback.

NofanTasi commented 3 years ago

Dear kind mediaminister. You spotted the issue! It was indeed DRM. Let's close this issue.

DRM enable required for DRM content

dagwieers commented 3 years ago

We have this documented on the Wiki, please verify if the documentation is still correct, or should be adapted to avoid any confusion: https://github.com/add-ons/plugin.video.vrt.nu/wiki/DRM

NofanTasi commented 3 years ago

@dagwieers The documentation is correct. Personally I still don't know when, how or why DRM was disabled. In worst case I turned it off myself for some odd reason and then forgot I did so. But if the v1.5.0 introduction of the knob had default off, I would perhaps suggest default on. Because off may confuse people (like me) to believe the odd behaviour may have been introduced by a defect rather than by a feature. Alternatively document default to be off (if it is). Keep up the good work!

mediaminister commented 3 years ago

There is a defect with HLS-streams and Kodi/CoreELEC, all VRT NU VOD-streams should work with or without Widevine DRM.

But this is not a VRT NU Add-on bug.

NofanTasi commented 3 years ago

@mediaminister Thanks for kind follow up and expertise! Is this a known effect? Of not I would be glad to help filing one. Have a nice day.

mediaminister commented 3 years ago

I don't think this is reported earlier by other people and I can't test on CoreELEC. It's very difficult for me to find out what is going wrong. I'll take another look at your debug log.
