I think here only the german didn't work.

Ah many thanks for this - will take a look through and post back here when I work out what the issue is Smile


Could you try using VLC to play the stream: "https://dwstream2-lh.akamaihd.net/i/dwstream2_live@124400/index_5_av-b.m3u8" - if you don't get this errors and this plays without dropping then I'm sure it is a issue with ffmpeg.

If it works with VLC you could always compile Kodi with latest external ffmpeg...

Right now that link work on my PC's VLC, but not in Android's Kodi.
Is it the german stream?

Ah no sorry - the German stream is: "https://dwstream6-lh.akamaihd.net/i/dwstream6_live@123962/master.m3u8"

Just to add - you could also set VLC or a different version of FFMPEG/FFPLAY using external players in Android.

For example using VLC in Kodi Android for m3u8 streams containing "dwstream2_live". e.g.

Create the file: Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/playercorefactory.xml 

With:

xml:


<playercorefactory>

  <players>

    <player name="VLC" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">

      <filename>/usr/bin/vlc</filename>

      <args>--fullscreen "{1}"</args>

      <hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>

    </player>

  </players>

  <rules action="prepend">

    <rule video="true" player="VLC"/>

      <rule filetypes="m3u8" filename=".*dwstream2_live.*" player="VLC"/>

    </rule>

  </rules>

</playercorefactory>

Obviously you can set the rules to whatever you want - for example you could set "filename" to ".*" to play all m3u8 streams via VLC - or remove the nested "<rule filetypes..." to play all content in Kodi via VLC - it is really pretty flexible.

You can see more examples of the config for this set-up here: https://kodi.wiki/view/External_players

I am having trouble with this addon in OSMC
I believe that the link for live-tv may be incorrect
https://dwstream4-lh.akamaihd.net/i/dwstream4_live@131329/master.m3u8&title=The+Day+-+News+in+Review
The title on the end is the issue. It seems to pick random titles
Am I right?
It will not play in VLC either, but will when title is removed.

RE: Deutsche Welle - heysoundude - 2022-04-30

Is anyone still maintaining this addon?  I'd love a version for kodi v19.4+

RE: Deutsche Welle - ltai0001 - 2022-10-16

Yeah would love to have this work again now that we are on Matrix

RE: Deutsche Welle - gigoro33 - 2024-08-01

I have updated the addon to work on Kodi 19 or higher. You can download it from here:
https://github.com/gigoro33/plugin.video.dw
It is also necessary to install this addon for it to work:
