Description

[Description of the bug or feature]

When I start libreelect after a while there is a notification telling that has been an error in Netflix plugging and that I have to check the log. When I try to play the video inside to plugging nothing shows up, but for Kodi something it’s playing. I can see it on my remote and on the upper right corner of the screen.

Sometimes after a while there is message saying that there has been an error in the video or something similar. But I don’t know if it’s really related.

Context (Environment)

Installation

  • I installed the plugin via zip from the Releases page
  • I´m using the Netflix Repo

  • Windows (x86/x64)
  • Linux (ARM)
  • Android

Additional informatin on the environment

I have the last build of Libreelec 9 with Kodi 18 from Mildhouse and the Estuary Mod Skin .

Other information

I installed very recently on the Pi this Libreelec Alpha and after run getwidevine.sh the plugin worked really well. I installed also Estuary Mod Skin and begin to configure several things of the interface and so on and I think I rebooted the Pi several times in the process. Everything worked. Next day I was to check on something and I don’t know why I rebooted the Pi again. After that, the error message begin to appear and the video don’t work.

I’ve tried to uninstall the plugin and reinstall again, but the the same error.

Any help it’s much appreciated.

Screenshots

First this message appear just after a 30’ of restart the Raspberry Pi screenshot001

Then, when I go to the plugin interface and I try to play a video it begins to load screenshot002

It makes a really short pause and continue loading. screenshot003

And then stop loading and nothing happens. screenshot004

If I exit the plugin, I can see that for Kodi the video is playing, because in the upper right corner the is the icon of the video playing. No sound, though. screenshot005

I can stop the video screenshot006

I can even rate the video with Trak screenshot007

Edit 3rd of February 2018 at 16m:03 UTC This is message about the failed video I was telling you before screenshot009

I found one problem in my setup where I had to disable OMX acceleration and enable MMAL (which I believe is deafult, but I changed it to try…)… Before the playback would start, but not show any image on the screen. Now everything seems to work - except for the raspbi getting pretty hot…

Very complete bug-report indeed. I have the same setup (RPi3/Libreelec/Milhouse testbuilds) and experience the same problem…

I read somewhere that a recent version of libwidevinecdm.so is crashing kodi on ARM but I didnt have any luck to find more information on that…

I’d be happy to provide some logs as well if necessary
