Also, don't know if overlay descriptions are already supported

Yes they are.

Also, don't know if overlay descriptions are already supported (since the script doesn't play any videos for me): https://github.com/JohnCoates/Aerial#mul...ge-support

Well before coming here making request and just generally saying the script doesn't run for you shouldn't you first try telling us what system you running it on and provide a debug log I don't have a lot of extra time and I feel that I have worked with everyone the best way that I could to make the fixes to whatever systems they have had issues with so show a little respect. So far the script has ran on everything download wise in some form. I know you cannot stream nividia shield only local playback as I haven't cracked the code to get it stream yet.

As far as changing the video ratio they are all 16:9 so you can't change that not sure why you would want to. As hitcher said the over lay information does work and it works just like apple TV so that you can press left or right to change videos. All of this is in the first post. Even more with the rewrite I cam actually adding the English language file so if someone wants to translate this to their language that will now be possible.

@smitchell6879 I'm making further requests here because you have asked, sorry if it fills non-respectful to you.

The full debug log with all system details was sent earlier:

Here is the log: http://ix.io/22xD

I have non-16:9 display that is why I want to regulate aspect ratio/zoom as in normal video.
Thanks for overlay information support.

[smitchell6879]

Ok, on a second look think maybe I won't need any additional options, will see.
Right now I can't make the script work - the screen just go blank and no video.
Here is the log: http://ix.io/22xD

UPDATE: please see the post below

My apologies as i see you did post a debug in the middle of a few other posts. So what are you actually running this on. I see it is CoreElec on some kind of android box maybe? Going by the debug the script is doing as it should which make me wonder a few things.

1 can you download 1 video and see if kodi will play it back not as a screensaver just test the video to make sure the codecs are supported trivial I know it should work but i want to verify.

2 If it does work then try downloading a location and see if it will work with local videos. Your box maybe like the shield as it sends a bad header in which apple servers block the video request and playback fails. With this unfortunately it is not a addon issue directly it more of a kodi video player so you will not see a error with a normal debug it just doesn't work. If this is the case we would need a component specific debug but i have to look at which component to debug and go from there.

if you play any video and go to the setting while that video is playing you can change the aspect ratio/zoom then go to the bottom and select make this my default for all videos. That should play all of these videos the same at that point since this screen save uses the same video player it is nothing special i am doing on my end.

Yes, but CoreElec is a Linux.

Downloaded videos and Local playing are work. Just set it to Streaming an it's not. (neighbor Aerial addon works with streaming just fine)

I understand coreelec is Linux. But you debug show you where running it on a armlogic chip so I assume some type of Android box or pi? Just trying narrow down where my issue is with the streaming not working.

Edit: So I looked at our neighbors code to see if I was doing anything different and to my surprise I am. The video links he use are different then the ones I am using. He only supplies 1 Verison per video and tho it may work I do not know where or how he got his link therefore I will continue to use the ones that I have and we will just have to work around the issues that occur. As we have been doing up until now.

[bam80]

Yes it's Set-top-box capable to run Android and Linux. I checked on the PC and streaming works.
So the issue probably with CE indeed.

I'm not sure what Version do you mean but his videos also have day/night maybe etc. versions. Maybe we could download his videos to make sure they are the same, and in this case just use his URLs?

PS: I'm not sure I could use Local play as the workaround..

What i mean is his videos are coming from a different server altogether therefore it probably has different connection requirements. what i mean by different versions is his addon only has the older videos and 1 url so. I provide all the videos new and old and each video has 5 different qualities available and only 3 that kodi can actually play back as the HDR version are still DRM encrypted. I am sure when i fix the streaming for nvidia shield it may fix your issuse as well. but at the moment we will just say only local videos are supported on all Android based boxes even if you have ce runing on it until I can code a workaround.

[smitchell6879]

DEBUG LOG.

Attach is a debug log from the nvidia shield. At line 1592 you can see that i managed to spoof the Url request and actually get a connection by overriding the headers. Problem is Kodi does not keep the override and on the next request the Connection is changed to upgrade h2 and Upgrade is actually sent thus causing the server to reply with 400 due to it not supporting H2 request. Is there any way or work around to keep kodi using my custom headers while fetching the file to stream?

If this does not work I will have to drop support for Android and maybe linux as @bam80 streaming is not working on that platform either, the users will have to download the videos else where and stream locally.

[bam80]

But it works on Linux PC. What makes CE variant special? Maybe I could ask CE team for a fix.

from libCURL if we use CURL_HTTP_VERSION_2_0 (what we do in kodi):

> Attempt HTTP 2 requests. libcurl will fall back to HTTP 1.1 if HTTP 2 can't be negotiated with the server. (Added in 7.33.0)

Interestingly the HEAD requests (for MIME retrieval) doesn't fail, only the GET request do.
Can you try to pass the mime-type of your file (using listItem property) ? Then the first curl command should be the GET request, and it may work / fallback to 1.1)

Trying to overwrite Upgrade / HTTP2-Settings seem to have no effect, so you can remove them from your Header list.

Thanks I will give it ago as soon as I get some free time. finger crossed it works.

Works perfectly fine on Vero4K+ running OSMC

Finally got time to test this. https://paste.kodi.tv/rapudohohi.kodi I am having issues with kodi 18 not using the enable function in the settings so I tested it on the 19 version. you will see that the first time it failed i was only using the mimetype. second time i tried using custom headers and mimetype. Hopefully you can see where i am going wrong. I know it is not the videos as i have them on my server and can can stream over smb with no issues.
