I have no experience with Kodi on Raspberry. The plugin is designed to browse raiplay website as Chrome does and grab direct links to play. After this operations, playing relies on internal code of Kodi and I don't know how to operate and if best video quality could be set.
Since RAI Play website allows streaming live tv at different quality levels (high, medium, low) I was suggesting including this setting in the plugin settings itself. I would assume there are different links based on the resolution of the feed (one link for 1080p, a different one for 720p): do you know if this is the case and - if so - which link gets picked?
I have an issue with this plugin in Kodi 20.3 installed on my Raspberry Pi 4 2GB model
Whenever I pick a stream to play, it will take various seconds (5 to 10) before either the stream starts playing or an error is displayed. When - and if - the stream starts playing, it's really choppy and keeps buffering which makes it impossible to watch. After enabling debug logging in Kodi and trying to play a TV channel, the following message is repeated whenever the stream glitches:
When it hangs instead, this is what logged:
I have tried to install Kodi 20.3 w/ this plugin on a different machine (Windows laptop w\ 8GB RAM) and I have no issues over there (physical network and VPN are the same for both Raspberry Pi and Windows laptop).
Am I right in thinking this is being caused by not enough memory available on my Raspberry Pi? If so what is the minimum required amount of memory needed for this plugin to handle a video stream? Would it be possible to add a setting to limit the quality of the video feed (e.g. allowing to choose between 720p/1080p/4k)?
