Some content from outside Belgium returns 403 Forbidden

[dagwieers]

When trying to watch some content from e.g. Germany, it attempts to start the stream but quickly returns back to the virtual directory listing. In the logs you can see a 403 (Forbidden) message.

Trying to play the same content from the website returns in a proper error message: Deze video is niet beschikbaar in het buitenland.

The add-on should return a proper message to the user as well.

The Kodi log related to this looks like:

In an ideal world xbmc.Player.onPlayBackError returns the 403 error. But this doesn't work at all.
So, I made another workaround that works.

I opened a ticket at xbmc/inputstream.adaptive#497
