Hi @scottydulton

This looks like the issue in the log:

CCurlFile::Open - <http://127.0.0.1:52103/https://drm.streamotion.com.au/licenseServer/widevine/v1/streamotion/license> Failed with code 403:
{"code":130401,"message":"Too many concurrent streams."}

@matthuisman this must be what you mentioned the other day?

[scottydulton]

Hi @glennguy yes, however windows and my phone doesnt give that error and playback is fine.

[glennguy]

Are there other devices using this same account that are streaming at the same time you're trying to play on your firetv 4k? It seems to be a mechanism to prevent having the same account play back more than 2/3 streams at the same time i.e to enforce that you're only getting what you pay for.

[scottydulton]

@glennguy no, only my phone and computer but not playing at the same time, i only installed on the other devices to test playback once the fireTV started stalling

[scottydulton]

@glennguy i just played on all 3 at the same time to test and only the 32 bit device failed

[matthuisman]

If you check the log on windows or 64bit device, can you see it requesting the license from the license server every 5mins? Or only once?

[glennguy]

Yeah every 2 minutes or so I get

@matthuisman @glennguy windows log attached, i did notice in the windows log it say MAX_CONCURRENT_STREAMS==100 https://pastebin.pl/view/9e41c5c4

[glennguy]

I don't think that the MAX_CONCURRENT_STREAMS message is related to the problem here.

This is what's in use: https://irdeto.com/news/irdeto-leverages-drm-based-heartbeats-to-address-session-sharing-overzealous-credential-sharing-and-illegal-streaming/

Are all your devices seen by the same external IP address? VPNs/smart DNS connected on any of them?

[matthuisman]

This is kayo right? Not DSTV? Dtsv is what I was talking about the other day Glenn. I'm also seeing issues with android 32 bit elsewhere. Stan addon appears to not work at all but is ok on 19.5 https://github.com/matthuisman/slyguy.addons/issues/385

[glennguy]

Yeah for Kayo, sorry about the mixup. Here it seems that the license proxy is somehow deciding that the initial request is fine but any subsequent ones are not from the same 'session'.

[scottydulton]

@glennguy on the fireTV i use Blokada with google public DNS no VPN's though, yes all devices connected to the same wifi network

@matthuisman I have your stan addon on my fireTV kodi 20.0 and it works fine.

[a301uuv]

I’m also seeing the same outcome using 32-bit KODI (4k Fire TV Max stick) versus 64-bit KODI (Shield 2019 pro).

[matthuisman]

could someone try Kodi 19.5 with latest Kayo on their 32-bit Kodi device and confirm no issues? That should tell us its an Inputstream Adaptive issue

[a301uuv]

I use KODI 19.5 with the 4k Fire TV Max stick and latest Kayo addon. Freezing still occurs.

[matthuisman]

OK, so this is not a regression of Inputstream Adaptive between 19 and 20

[a301uuv]

Yeah for Kayo, sorry about the mixup. Here it seems that the license proxy is somehow deciding that the initial request is fine but any subsequent ones are not from the same 'session'.

By all means I’m a beginner so feel free to lambast me. Is this something unique to the architecture of KODI 32-bit installs? I.e. what makes inputstream adaptive functioning on one versus the other?

[glennguy]

I'm still not following why this is android 32-bit @scottydulton in your log above from Windows, we have the same issue. The license is not renewed successfully. Is playback still working in Windows though?

[scottydulton]

@glennguy yes playback never stops on windows

[matthuisman]

@scottydulton please try with latest Kayo addon 0.14.0

just remembered that binge etc have to refresh their token on each license request and kayo didnt do that as it wasnt drm (until recently)

Suspect this should fix it. Please report back

[scottydulton]

@matthuisman still the same, on fireTV(32bit) once license failure occurs playback freezes, on windows(64bit) im seeing successful licenses, followed by failures, then further in the log successful again, playback never stops on windows windows 1.log

[a301uuv]

Also getting the same results on Fire Tv 32-bit.

[matthuisman]

how long does it meant to take to fail?

I tried the APP and Kodi add-on on my same 64bit android phone and both kept playing find without any 403 errors on license server. Even after I started a stream in browser as well.

ill need to try my 32bit device.

I notice Kodi add-on makes twice as many calls to widevine license server. Almost like it doubles up. 2x straight after each other. 2min wait. 2x straight away again

Also, the kodi does the server request [][] and then encrypted requests. Whereas the official app just uses the normal requests.

[matthuisman]

trying windows now. also see the double up wv request but cant reproduce a 403 error.

[matthuisman]

@scottydulton @a301uuv what kayo subscription are you on? One / Basic / Premium? One im using is on Basic (2x streams)

[scottydulton]

@matthuisman Im on the basic plan , and anywhere from 3 to 15 minutes to fail on fire tv

[matthuisman]

@scottydulton @a301uuv

can you guys please try this build of Inputstream Adaptive

Android 32bit: https://jenkins.kodi.tv/job/xbmc/job/inputstream.adaptive/job/PR-1160/1/artifact/cmake/addons/build/zips/inputstream.adaptive+android-armv7/inputstream.adaptive-21.0.0.zip

Other Os (windows etC) https://jenkins.kodi.tv/blue/organizations/jenkins/xbmc%2Finputstream.adaptive/detail/PR-1160/1/artifacts

Requires kodi 20 or 21

setting android to use a single session. I have found it now only makes 1x request to WV server (vs 2x)

also confirmed windows also now using single decrypter which may help with the errors that were in windows logs Nope. windows still has the errors

[a301uuv]

I'm still getting the freezing issue after 5 minutes or so. Fire TV stick KODI 20 (32-bit) and inputstream adaptive 21.0

https://pastebin.com/fyhvJ36J

[matthuisman]

I can't replicate. How many other devices using that login at same time??

I'll try a different account.

[matthuisman]

otherwise maybe a fire tv stick only issue?

[a301uuv]

Can confirm it works on a fire tv stick. also works with KODI 19 without excessive users on the account.

[glennguy]

@a301uuv could you test the appropriate zip in https://jenkins.kodi.tv/blue/organizations/jenkins/xbmc%2Finputstream.adaptive/detail/PR-1165/1/artifacts ?

[a301uuv]

Will do. I can report back Monday.

[glennguy]

Thanks! @scottydulton should have tagged you too, if you have time to test on your FireTV.

[a301uuv]

Can report inputstream.adaptive+osx-x86_64, inputstream.adaptive+osx-arm64, inputstream.adaptive+android-armv7 and inputstream.adaptive+android-aarch64 working without issue.
