Hi,

Can I just ask (to save me installing it to find out) - is there any kind of BBC iPlayer, ITV player downloader addon in this? I did have one in e2istream some time back but I have not installed that since moving from ATV to ViX (and don't wan't to as its not an officially supported addon)

Thanks
Paul

Iplayer can be installed, not sure about ITV Player, need to look into this. Pretty sure ITV Hub has taken over.

Steps to Install BBC iPlayer Addon on Kodi in 2020 Finally, let’s talk about what you want to know. Here’s how to install the BBC iPlayer on Kodi, the simple way.


Open Kodi and click on ‘Add-ons’ in the main menu (on the left side of the screen). Then, click on ‘Download’ via the left-placed menu.

59876
You will now see a list of different categories. You need to open a folder named ‘Video add-ons’. Scroll down and then click on ‘iPlayer WWW’;
59877


To finalize the installation, hit the ‘Install’ button. You’ll be asked to install the required dependencies (especially if you’ve installed or updated Kodi recently). So, make sure to click on ‘OK’. The addon should be downloaded and installed on its own.
After a few moments, Kodi will let you know that your new addon has been installed. Return to your Add-ons where the iPlayer WWW addon will be waiting for you. Enjoy!

Hi, thanks for that. Took the plunge and installed it. Tried the iPlayer but it's very very choppy and not really watchable. Other network services are fine and the broadband is fine too so I think I'll stick to the iPlayer on the TV :-)

cheers,
Paul

Try deleting the .kodi folder on your HDD and setup again. No issues here adding user and pass for netflix on a few boxes.

Can't see an issue here. Try deleting your .kodi hidden folder from HDD or USB stick.

iirc a large file for widevine or something gets installed with the addon.

Enable “show hidden files” on your ftp client, I.e. Filezilla etc

You will most likely need to exit Filezilla and go back in, then it will be shown on your HDD as .kodi

Delete the .kodi folder. You won’t harm anything. Then when you next launch Kodi it will create a new one, then setup from scratch basically. [emoji4]

Reboot and re-install from plugin feeds. You might need to delete your hidden ./kodi folder from HDD or USB stick wherever it's installed.

Personally, I'd uninstall, FTP to your receiver, find the hidden ./kodi folder. On HDD or USB whatever you have and set Kodi up fresh.

Is you have storage mounted as /media/hdd then it will be /media/hdd/.kodi

If no storage mounted as above then .kodi will
Default to /home/root/.kodi

Delete if needed etx

solved.
you should open the Inputstream Helper addon (opening the addon will actually open its settings page), where you should enable the option called "Disable".

You'll probably have to ask on an OpenATV forum, there isn't even a vix image for the sf8008 until the next release.

Can someone confirm if Plex is running well for them on Kodi?
I've tried it myself but the stream is very blocky and pretty much unwatchable.
Sound seems to be always downgraded to Stereo even when pass-through is enabled.
I'm running it locally with no transcoding.

DreamPlex runs fine but the interface is a little dated.

source: github

This approach does not work for me, I just tested it yesterday. I guess Netflix requires Inputstream Helper to be enabled.

Until Inputstream Helper is fixed to work with recent widevine released you will need is to get an older version of the libwidevinecdm.so for your system.
I did make a backup of mine (used in my OpenVix 5.4 / Zgemma H9 tuner) and will host the file on my gmail drive for a limited period, until someone can find a more permanent solution.
Link to working libwidevinecdm.so (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QR0zfiJJeX_pWYSWcb11ACfbZksYcEQg/view?usp=sharing)

Find your .kodi/cdm folder and replace the libwidevinecdm.so with the one from the link above. It should work for the Zgemma and probably more devices with linux-arm.

On this page you will find both the netflix repository (zip file), and also direct link to the netflix plugin releases:
https://github.com/CastagnaIT

You will need the latest version of inputstreamhelper, look here:
https://github.com/emilsvennesson/script.module.inputstreamhelper/releases

In case you face problems with logging in to netflix, look here:
https://github.com/CastagnaIT/plugin.video.netflix#login-with-authentication-key
You will find another link down at that page, look for "How to Login with Authentication key - wiki"
That link will also provide you a direct download link for the NFAuthentation tool that you will need for the alternative way to login.
