Replay does not work anymore. #23
Comments
Probably its a change done by Zattoo itself. But nothing I can do without further information (debug log) |
I use this replay button all the time with the current nigthly builds. It works for me. I'm not sure what the source of the problem is but as the current version of the addon and Kodi does work for me, i suspect that it is related to your Zattoo reseller. Without a debug log there is not much i can do. And if there is nothing Zattoo related in the log, you are either not using pvr.zattoo or you are not looking into the Kodi logfile. |
Ok, I've booted Kodi, started a TV channel, opened the TV guide and selected an older show; here is what I get in the log file:
Here is the whole log file: |
Yes, this indeed helps: Replay is only supported for dash streams. Please change the stream type in the pvr.zattoo configuration to dash. This should solve your problem. |
Ah ok, thanks, now it's working again! I switched to HLS because switching TV channels is notably faster with HLS than DASH. May I ask why playing HLS streams for replay shows aren't supported? I'm the author of the Zattoo information extractor in youtube-dl, and I can tell, that there are definitely HLS streams for replay shows available. |
I'm not sure if this was a limitation of the hls implementation in Kodi 17 or earlier in Zattoo itself but you are right, it also works for hls streams now. I have updated the addon. It should come with the next release. Thanks for the input. Out of curiosity: How much is "notably faster with HLS"? The DASH stream starts for me within about half a second. The HLS stream feels about the same. |
Oh wow thanks, I will try it out as soon as the new build is ready! It's hard to measure the channel switching times exactly, but let's say it takes 0.5 seconds to switch from one channel to another on HLS streaming, then it takes maybe 1 second to switch on DASH streaming. Furthermore, when using DASH streaming it takes some additional time (maybe 0.5 seconds) until the audio starts playing. This was the reason why I switched from DASH to HLS, but the user experience on DASH streaming is still quite good, it's totally usable, no worries. |
Great, yes, less than 2 seconds is probably fine. I will close this issue as it should be fixed. Thanks. |
I'm using pvr.zattoo in the LibreElec Testbuilds for Kodi 18 on a Raspberry Pi. I'm using a Zattoo partner and can watch all the shows for the last 7 days in "Replay" in the browser. Unfortunately, it does not work anymore in Kodi: When I open the TV guide in pvr.zattoo and select a show, there was a button called "Play program" or something similar. Now there is only a button "Switch", which will me redirect to live tv, but not play the selected show.
I'm wondering if this has something to do with the changes made in pvr.zattoo, or if it is related to changes made in the core of Kodi?
