And after that, the webbrowser and smartphone is blocked from watching because of the stream limit. Only closing kodi completly unblocks the browser or smartphone.

That is odd, seems like there is an issue with your version of inputstream_helper. What Kodi version are you using and is there any chance you can check the version of inputstream_helper?

Also, I've found this, maybe that helps. Try that first:

First from the main menu go Addons > My Add-ons > Videoplayer InputStream and if it's there select InputStream Adaptive and check it's enabled.

If it's not installed, go to Addons > Install from repository > Kodi Add-on repository (you may not need this step if you have no other repo's installed) > VideoPlayer InputStream and install it from there.

hi i could not find it, and looking at dependencies from youtube (which definitly worked a few weeks ago) i found it greyed out (adaptive). not installable. so inputstream_helper is in the repo and input_streamhelper adaptive is not. Turns out i now need to install it (input_streamhelper adaptive) via apt (debian on raspberry).

Looks like this has been resolved
