Description

Describe the bug

When trying to play an episode of VRT Journaal Laat the following error is displayed:
"Failed to load a compatible stream, please try toggling Use Widevine DRM in the add-on Playback settings"
This was not the case until this morning. When enabling the Widevine DRM in the settings, this did not fix the problem.

To Reproduce

Play any vrtnu episode.

Expected behavior

Stream plays back

Additional context
  • Operating system: OSMC
  • Kodi version: 18.7
  • Addon version: 2.5.4
  • Using a VPN: no
  • Country you are using the addon from: Belgium

Research direction

Reproduce playback for a VRT Journaal Laat or other VRTNU episode on OSMC with Kodi 18.7 and add-on 2.5.4, testing both Widevine DRM settings. Then trace the add-on's stream-loading and playback path to identify why no compatible stream is returned; done means the episode plays without the error in the reported environment.
