if 'ask for quality' ist selected all 'basic streams' end in a 'cancel' selection #59

as mentioned in the title, if I activate the 'ask for quality' option, all 'simpler' streams (i.e. MiLB, or MLB videos, etc.) open an 'empty selection' window (for quality selection) with 'Cancel' being the only option there...

Is this using the "Ask for quality" setting within the MLBTV addon settings? Have you tried to leave that at "Best" but set the Stream Selection Type to "Ask quality" within the Inputstream Adaptive addon settings instead?

Yes, it's in the settings: Visual > Stream Quality > Always Ask

The 'Inputstream Adaptive addon' was not (automatically?) installed on any of my Kodi 'devices'... After manually installing I am prompted with the message: 'Playback Conflict' and that I need to disable 'Always Ask for stream quality'. If I then choose 'Manually select video stream' or 'Manually select all streams' within the 'Inputstream Adaptive addon' I never get an option the select any stream or choice of bandwidth/quality.

But I do need the option to manually select the 'stream/quality' for bandwidth saving reasons...

Found the issue here too. The stream quality list is extracted from the stream URLs, and the URL format is slightly different for minor league games and featured videos.

It should now work as expected in the above-referenced pull request, or this fork release: https://github.com/tonywagner/plugin.video.mlbtv/releases

Note that if you decide to continue using InputStream Adaptive for playback, and you want to manually select your stream quality, you will need to:

  1. set the MLBTV addon's Stream Quality option back to "Best Available"
  2. go into the InputStream Adaptive addon options, and set the Stream selection type to "Ask quality" ("Manual OSD" did not work for me, at least in InputStream Adaptive version 20.3.9 on Windows)
