Nice example URL :laughing: you really got me :)
So the issue is that out of heaven we are able to get official manifest files for youtube (in the past those were hidden). Sendtokodi provides this manifest file just fine to the kodi player which should then be able to play the video using the input stream adaptive plugin (more on that e.g. here or here).
But kodi/inputstream adaptive seems to not support the manifest a certain codec (the manifest provides only avc1 and vp09 which should bot be supported in kodi 20).
The manifest/m3u8 file opens just fine in other players (e.g. vlc), thus I do not think the issue comes from sendtokodi. Maybe open an issue in inputstream adaptive (and provide them a uncomplicated way to get the url to a manifest as the urls are only valid for a couple of hours)
Anyway as a workaround you can simply disable adaptive stream in the sendtokodi settings (which will break other websites).
With the 20.3.10-Nexus release of input stream adaptive it should now work - I am currently not at home so I cannot test it. @onitake does it work for you (make sure to update input stream adaptive)
I can confirm, had the same issue and with the update you mentioned it's fixed now
Thank you very much for the confirmation, I will close the issue then.
