TV4play doesn't play any content.

Bug report

Describe the bug

TV4play doesn't play any content.
It says that everything is Geo-Blocked, and every stream says it expired at the same time I enter the folder, and no stream can be played, says that there is no stream available for that object.
My IP is located in Sweden.

SVTplay and UR play works great, I actually prefer SVTplay in Retrospect instead of the Kodi version as you are able to rewind live content which Kodi SVTPlay can't.

But my issue is with TV4Play, that was the reason to start using Retrospect, to be able to play TV4 content.

No difference with TV4play account setup.

Could you please attach a full DEBUG retrospect.log? Because I live outside Sweden, it's hard for me to verify the problem and a log could really help.

Yes, here's the debug.log

Thanks, I will have a look.

The other Swedish channels either don't exist anymore (some merged in to a single channel) and some just broken or do no longer exist.

[Geoplegatill]

I guess you can stop looking, I was behind a VPN/Proxy and TV4play didn't like that. Without VPN it works.
All streams still says Geo-Blocked thou, but as long as they work it doesn't matter.

[basrieter]

Great! Geo-blocked means that they can only be viewed in the geografical region it was intended for.
