Description

Describe the bug

New here, so not entirely into the details.
When trying to start a livestream I’m getting a “sad smiley” on osmc. This stays for half a minute. Then osmc becomes available again in the main menu. It also clears the logs somehow so I assume osmc restarts after this.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to live kijken
  2. Click on any livestream
  3. See error

Expected behavior

Start livestream

Additional context
  • Operating system: osmc 22.10-1
  • Kodi version: 19.4
  • Addon version: 2.5.20
  • Using a VPN: no
  • Country you are using the addon from: Belgium

Research direction

Start by reproducing the livestream failure on OSMC 22.10-1 with Kodi 19.4 and addon 2.5.20, then capture the logs before and after the restart. Done means selecting a livestream starts playback without the add-on or OSMC becoming unavailable.
