Fix broken playback on old Kodi versions/devices #206

Closed even-stephen closed 7 years ago

even-stephen commented 7 years ago

Some devices running older versions of Kodi does not properly follow redirects and are unable to playback the video when the video url originates from the "alt" url parameter. This fix should resolve the alt url prior to sending it to the video player.

Sorry for late reply.

Which older versions are you referring to?

even-stephen commented 7 years ago

Seen it in on my old openelec 6 (Kodi 15.2) and got some indication from a friend that it does not work for his device as well (also some old kodi version). I have not looked at the Kodi code so i am not sure about the root cause. Old versions of ffmpeg has similar problems, so that may be the reason.

OK. Out of interest, why are you using old Kodi releases and not >=16?

even-stephen commented 7 years ago

I have Kodi on three device at home, bought and setup at different points in time, usually wont update unless it stops working...😊

OK. Planning on dropping support for <v16 in the future. Heads up! ;)
