Playback error on newer episodes of bluey on Libreelec

[gandalth]

Problem description

I notice a playback error. I encountered this when trying a newer episode of bluey. I double checked that the same show/episode on a browser (svtplay.se) works. Older episodes play back fine on kodi.

Steps to reproduce

• Open the "Popular" directory
• Choose "Bluey"
• Choose one of the newer episodes marked "2025". The log below is for the episode called hinderbana.

System information

Kodi version: 21.1

Platform: Libreelec 12.0.1, RPi5

Plugin version: 5.1.21-matrix1

Thanks for reporting this! Happily surprised the addon has worked so long without any patches 😊

I will look into this to see if there is something that can be done.

I just had a quick look. I think this might be due to the same reason some shows cannot be viewed on some smart TVs (like my Samsung): they have implemented a new DRM protection that Kodi does not support.

"Rubble and Crew" cannot be viewed on my Samsung TV, is that also not possible to view on your Kodi setup?

Just checked a new Bluey episode on my Samsung TV, and it worked. So might not be the same issue after all...

I just installed Kodi 21 (latest) on my Ubuntu machine and I cannot reproduce the issue using the episode "Skicka paketet" that has production year "2025".

"Rubble and Crew" works fine too, and this is a show which definately has new DRM protection.

Do you still have issues with playback @gandalth ?

[gandalth]

I checked all recent Bluey episodes on Wednesday and all of them didn't work.

I also noticed that kodi does not show video- and audiocodec properties (such as hevc) when selecting the episode. It does show this information for the older episodes.

I will try Rubble and Crew, but I am currently on semester. I'll provide feedback in one week.

I am back from Semester and able to check again! :-)

I just checked the currently available episodes of Bluey and the playback issue still exists. Also, I checked a few episodes of Rubble & Crew, and a few of Paw Patrol, and I get the issue on all of these.

Any ideas of further checks / log files I could provide on this topic? Do you have any chance to check on a Raspberry Pi (or maybe another arm-based device) to reproduce the issue?

I don't know of any better logs than what you've got. Given it works on an official Kodi installation I'd take the issue to libreelec.

I only have amd64 to test on.

I have now also tested on amd64 (an older Linux Mint with Kodi 19.4) and I confirm that playback works fine. Hence I changed the title of this issue.

I will open an issue with libreelec, and link back to this discussion:
