Cannot watch purchased videos

[freisatz]

I logged in following the instructions using an api key.

Everything seems okay:

• Can see subscriptions listed correctly
• Can watch free videos
• Can see purchases listed correctly

However, when selecting a purchased video for playback, I immediately run into an error:

Thanks in advance!

I dug a bit deeper and found tried a few different setups to see if I can isolate the issue. However, regardless of what I tried, I did NOT find a setup where I could watch a purchased video.

---

For all the testing, I used the Youtube Addon from the kodi repository, version 6.8.3. I tested the movies

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZRWBkaNwMo

---

I tested different systems and, particularly, different versions of Kodi and InputStream Adaptive

LibreELEC 9.0.2 running on a Wetek Play 2 (Amlogic S905)
Kodi 18.1
InputStream Adaptive 2.3.23 (or something)

CoreELEC 9.2.3 running on a Wetek Play 2 (Amlogic S905)
Kodi 18.7
InputStream Adaptive 2.4.5.1

Ubuntu 20.04 running on a x86 machine
Kodi 18.6
InputStream Adaptive 2.4.5

The latter two I tested directly after a fresh install.

Furthermore, I tried different Youtube accounts. I did create a new API on one of those accounts.

See the full log of the Ubuntu run at https://pastebin.com/ddu1ZEhN.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

I have the same problem with some of my purchased movies. Some play, some not.

In all cases, where the playback is not possible, Kodi/IAS is not able to download the MPD like in your log file. It seems that they are not available, even if this URL was provided.

I have patched the addon to generate the MPD on its own like it is done in other cases already in the addon. There were only some extensions for the encryption and language handling required. Now all movies are playing for me. I will provide a patch/PR hopefully in a couple of days, as I need to clean up the modifications first.

[freisatz]

Thats great news. Looking forward to try that patch myself. Thank you very much for your efforts and making them public!

[anxdpanic]

Look forward to it @MisterD81 , I have a very limited selection of purchases for testing.
Please submit the PR to the new repository, https://github.com/anxdpanic/plugin.video.youtube code in that area should be the same, so the changes should apply with no issues.

[MisterD81]

@anxdpanic : For sure I use the new repository and was looking also there for this issue, but could not find it.
I have created the pull request accordingly here: anxdpanic/plugin.video.youtube#23 and referenced to this issue to have the linkage clear.

Tested it today and it solves the issue for me for both my mentioned videos that wouldnt play. Thank you so much, that really makes my kodi instance so much more useful for me!
