[Restart] and "Play Chapter" broken in most current 0.10

[AloisKlingler]

Hi sofaking,

just to let you know: in the most recent master (I guess 0.10 labeled?) the "Restart" of a live stream only prints an error. the new "Play Chapter" function results in a sad smiley (I use OSMC with kodi 18.5), the new "Play all" function most time does not appear in my folders.

I am back to 0.9.1 currently. :-)

Best regards

hi alois,

thx, i already fixed the restart error with a396fbb

looking into the "play chapter" problem now. this problem seems to be linux specific because it doesnt occur on windows. had the problem on my rpis and on my shield though.

the "play all" function isn't showing because its probably disabled by orf. i think there might be a problem with the streaming services because the gapless feature wasn't working very well a week ago(stream jumps and stuff like that). when they turn in back on the "play all" item will appear automatically

[s0faking]

5e26ae4 should fix the "play chapter" crashes. can you test this on your osmc?

[AloisKlingler]

Hi, Yes I can, will do today evening and report back.

Best regards

[AloisKlingler]

Both are fixed on osmc with current master. Thank you!

It's an old issue but atm RESTART isn't working with 0.12.2. Running on the latest Libreelec stable (Kodi 18.9) Anybody else encounter the same issue?

[s0faking]

is service api enabled? 0.12.3 is the most recent version. this version fixes issues with restart when using the service api.

[UserX404]

0.12.3 isn't available. I manually downloaded the version from git but i'm not able to install. Not sure if i remember corect but maybe no python 3 dependency availabe. Service api is not enabled. Is it necessary for the restart feature?

[s0faking]

did you use the version from the release page?https://github.com/s0faking/plugin.video.orftvthek/releases/download/0.12.3%2Bmatrix.1/plugin.video.orftvthek-0.12.3.zip

just saw the the leia version took a little longer to be approved. should be on the official repo in the next few days

serviceapi is not needed for the restart feature, but make sure that "inputstream adaptive" and "inputstreamhelper" addons are installed

Hi s0faking. I updated to 0.12.3 and now the whole live-section isn't working anymore. Neither Play nor Restart isn't working. Seems to me like an parsing error.

Should't it be m3u instead of m3u8 ? (err 403 instead of 404)

[ManuelWinkler]

Hey all,

just FYI: The ORS recently turned off the fixed quality streams (q0a, q2a, q4a, q6a, q8c). The full adaptive streams (qxa and qxb) are still working and used again on the web version of the TVthek instead of the DRM streams.

I'm pretty sure this has to do that they recently published a new feature to use subtitles in livestreams. They are now also listed in the /qxa/manifest.m3u8 file.

[s0faking]

Change the quality to adaptive in the addon settings. Looks Like the q4a Stream is Not available anymore (i think thats the SD quality Stream )

[UserX404]

Thanks. Live is working again but Restart does nothing. Kodi.log on clicking Restart:

Can you post a debug log? Which channel are you trying to play?

[UserX404]

Can i send you the log via mail? There a a lot of sensitive data.

[s0faking]

Sure. Send the logs to dw@lowfidelity.at
