Thanks @arvvoid! It seems the 2.5.6 beta solved the failed playback issue.
debug log: https://paste.kodi.tv/galonoyoge.kodi

@gbelovai Yes, looking at the log all is fine now. I need just confirmation from @petakpa1 as well.
And someone to test and confirm that the fix is good for the Nordic/Spain region as well and can merge this and will be included in next release.

Dear All,

Thank you for your fast job. I confirm that above linked 2.5.6. beta version is working at me on W10 + Kodi 18.4 Leia system. Unfortunately I cannot test it on Kodi 19 Matrix version.

Kind regards,
Peter

Hello, @Sakerdot @sanangel @PolliSoft @macardi @jhdgghost @jumakki @Evili84 @haakobja can someone please test this branch and report back. I just need to make sure this doesn't break anything for Nordic/Spain region before merging :)

Hello, @Sakerdot @sanangel @PolliSoft @macardi @jhdgghost @jumakki @Evili84 @haakobja can someone please test this branch and report back. I just need to make sure this doesn't break anything for Nordic/Spain region before merging :)

I installed it, and logged in without a problem. However, in this version I lost all subtitles on all videos. I reinstalled the Master branch version, and I got all subtitles back.

@PolliSoft tnx, can you please take a full debug log (perform playback) with this version and post it so I can fix the problem.
