Description

Could someone please have a look at the plugin “albavision”? The channels ATV and ATVMás don’t start. The URLs have slightly changed, but according to the error message in the log, there must be a bigger problem (fetching the token fails).

I think I will change the string This stream may not be available in your country to This stream may be off-air or not available in your country.

https://www.chapintv.com/envivo-canal-23/ --> is working now (showing local news)

That’s good to hear.

Output of https://www.chapintv.com/envivo-canal-3/ https://www.chapintv.com/envivo-canal-7/ is the same:

Hmm, yeah, I’m seeing the same thing via the plugin and also in-browser with a .gt proxy. I’m using open proxies, so it’s hard to know if that’s an issue. Using any proxy service rather than a residential IP for a country can be a potential problem.

Costa Rica https://www.repretel.com/envivo-canal4/

I can’t see any references to the player in the returned HTML for that channel right now either. At least the plugin is doing the right thing. There’s so much inconsistency here from one day to another; it’s baffling! That channel played when I tested it, both in-browser and via the plugin using a .cr proxy.

I think the best that can be done is to leave the plugin (other than the string change I mentioned above) as is and hope any issues raised in the future come from people using local residential IPs rather than proxies.

Thanks again for your help and feedback. You’ll probably get different results if you check these channels again at some point in the future! 😃

‘El Nueve’, an argentinian TV-channel included in the Albavision-plugin, can also be used without a token: https://d2r6nlw8e5ph9i.cloudfront.net/elnueve/smil:elnueve.smil/playlist.m3u8
