NPO live stream stopped working

EvyBongers commented 5 years ago

Since a couple of days, the NPO [1,2,3] live streams no longer work. Possibly related to #33.

In the logs I found this exception:

So far I fail to come up with an explanation on why it fails. If you can give any hints to help me debug this issue, please let me know!

I run the plugin on OpenELEC on a raspberry pi.

Since this morning the streams don't play here either. Although a different error is shown. So not sure if it is the same issue.

I also noticed the "HTTP Error 500: Internal Server Error" in the kodi.log

Xorky commented 5 years ago

Same here...

RPI + LibreELEC

sciurius commented 5 years ago

It may be the case that NPO abandoned livestreams and switched to DRM only content.

ArthurBorsboom commented 5 years ago

Although not sure, I have the feeling the developer of the Uitzending Gemist plugin has implemented DRM capabilities for the same reason.

https://github.com/Opvolger/plugin.video.uzg

See the readme and change log

bosel commented 5 years ago

Thanks for reporting. I'll see if I can get the streams going again, hopefully soonish

Xorky commented 5 years ago

... and the NPO-Start livestreams within the Retrospect addon also functions...

ArthurBorsboom commented 5 years ago

Just to confirm, the plugin [Uitzending gemist (NPO)] works, even without VPN.

I hope you find the time and answer to repair.

Ghostbird commented 5 years ago

~Does the live stream functionality still exist? The URIs contained within the plugin yield 404 (Not Found) and 410 (Gone) results.~

The live-streams can be watched on https://www.npostart.nl/live/ nowadays. But they won't play for me as they require DRM.

sIRwa2 commented 5 years ago

Love to see the addon being updated if possible.
