I have some more issue with playback. I have now SPMC 16.5 with Alternative playback option enabled. My german channels from "kodilivetv.eu" and zattoo extended" addons are starting great.
When I configure now english channels (CNN,BBC...) from "kodilivetv.eu" english folder I added, the channels only start in Stream Setup preview but not after I saved them and start from TV Guide.
What could this be ?

I don't think I have ever found an addon that works with "Alternative playback" turned on.
It's been in there since the original TV Guide.

The bit of code that runs it is this:

Code:

if url[0:9] == 'plugin://':
    if self.alternativePlayback:
        xbmc.executebuiltin('XBMC.RunPlugin(%s)' % url)
    else:
        self.player.play(item=url, windowed=self.osdEnabled)

Preview ignores that setting anyway:

Code:

self.player.play(item=stream, windowed=True)

Ok, without Alternative Playback setting my channels from kodilivetv.eu/german folder crash very often at start.
Is it possible to include an option in Stream setup to disable this for single streams ?

I've been testing using Schedulesdirect for the past week - working brilliantly although no image comes through next to synopsis information. (Doesn't bother me, I prefer this and I assume they don't provide them) Logos load from them as well. (Again I've turned it this off)

(Just an FYI)

Thanks.
If you didn't see my earlier post I tried to add SchedulesDirect images but most of them were missing from their server.
I asked in their forum but didn't get an answer with a solution.

Have you tried using their xmltv command line grabber to get their schedules?
I'd like to know if the program images come with that.

If you're lucky the program image grabbers in Settings \ Lab1 will find some images for you.

kodilivetv updates itself a lot. You just have to wait for it to update.
You could make a shortcut to the folder where your channels are and open that before going into the guide.
That should trigger an update.

I tried a few German channels from Kodilive and they seemed ok to me.
Which ones are giving you problems?

For example all CH channels like TELEBOY 3+HD, 4+HD, 3+HD, Sat1, RTL PRO7 they are all HD by switzerland IP. They crash immediatly if I disable the AltPlay option.
I need to say that I also use a heavy Skin Aeon MQ6 on all my devices, but those channels crash in any devices (Win10 Kodi16.1) (SPMC16.5) (Kodi16.1 Android too )

I get the opposite behaviour with PRO7 HD.
It fails with alternative streaming method.

Could you check if it does the same in Jarvis Confluence.

Simpsons are running here with standard skin too. Its the same. When I disable AltPlayback, Homer is crashing after one short picture, so nothing to do with MQ6 skin.

EDIT: OK I checked again inside the Addon all BBC channels are from wilmaa and they run well but if I configure and run them in TV Guide they show black screen and stream failed. Only see them in preview window in stream setup....STRANGE THING

May I upload my whole userdata folder for you ? Maybe you find something in settings.
