These are paid options for Videoland.nl. Do you have a paid account at videoland.nl?

[jcjdammers]

Yes I have a paid account. The regular Videoland series and films are playing fine in the plugin.

[basrieter]

Could you provide a debug Retrospect log? The one you attached is a Kodi log.

[jcjdammers]

The debug log --> https://paste.kodi.tv/vimaditite

[jcjdammers]

An the "/storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.retrospect/retrospect.log" attached. retrospect.log

Ok, so I need to know what the content of the https://layout.videoland.bedrock.tech/front/v1/rtlnl/m6group_web/main/token-web-4/video/videoland_telekids/layout?nbPages=2 url is. Could you try live TV in the browser and check if this URL, or a similar one depending on stream, is present?

If so, please attach the response here. Double check that there are no personal data in the response.

[jcjdammers]

When I type this URL in the brwoser: https://layout.videoland.bedrock.tech/front/v1/rtlnl/m6group_web/main/token-web-4/video/videoland_rtl7/layout?nbPages=2

then it returns: { "error": 498, "message": "Token expired/invalid" }

[jcjdammers]

When I watch Live TV in the browser then I only see URLs like: https://v2.videoland.com/rtl4/live https://v2.videoland.com/event-6/live

[basrieter]

They layout url should be visible in the network-tab of the developer tools in Chrome.

[jcjdammers]

I have attached the response for URL: https://layout.videoland.bedrock.tech/front/v1/rtlnl/m6group_web/main/token-web-4/live/rtl7/layout?nbPages=2

response.json

Hope this helps.

[basrieter]

That helps a bit. Another question: if you browse Videoland and go to "Live TV" you should see an url like this pass by:

https://layout.videoland.bedrock.tech/front/v1/rtlnl/m6group_web/main/token-web-4/service/videoland_root/block/page_666ea375dd8356.25094621--7ed33394-c795-4219-a862-08cbc49515e3?nbPages=10

The content looks like this:

And it should contain the live channels under content -> items. Can you also send me that response?

[jcjdammers]

Strange but I do not see that URL. I see only: https://layout.videoland.bedrock.tech/front/v1/rtlnl/m6group_web/main/token-web-4/folder/206/layout?nbPages=2

Branch bug-1804 was created for issue: "Videoland Live TV channels are not playing"

• Url: https://github.com/retrospect-addon/plugin.video.retrospect/tree/bug-1804

[basrieter]

Please install https://github.com/retrospect-addon/plugin.video.retrospect/archive/refs/heads/bug-1804.zip, try the live streams again and attach a DEBUG retruspect.log here.

The streams still won't work, but I added some logging.

[jcjdammers]

I have installed the zip and run it as you requested (with debug log-level). Kodi log-file --> https://paste.kodi.tv/uhecunizuw retrospect.log file --> retrospect.log

Hope this helps, thanks a lot.

Ik zie waar het fout gaat, maar zonder betaalde account is het lastig fixen. Ik moet even gaan kijken hoe ik dat ga doen.

[jcjdammers]

Je kan volgens mij een gratis 14-dagen proef account aanmaken. Of anders wil ik mijn account wel tijdelijk delen.

Fixed in #1813
