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:
- Go to live kijken
- Click on any livestream
- 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.
