Research direction

Start by reading the linked debug log and reproducing the failure on Kodi 18.0 RC5 with plugin 13.21 on the reported Android device. Trace the b2a_base64() error and verify the addon opens and can play videos after the fix; the Widevine error from version 14.0 is a separate condition to compare.
