So its ignoring the resolution max that I set. Is there any way to somehow correct for this? or suggest how to get around this?
Thanks
version 2.3.5
Normally the resolutions are provided in the api call.
Code:
"qualities":{
"auto":[
{
"type":"application/x-mpegURL",
"url":"[url]http://www.dailymotion.com/cdn/live/video/x3m6nld.m3u8?auth=1512161760-2562-gbnmlvyq-704372bd493a6c8a08b3cd72357f9ce0[/url]"
}
]
},
Unfortunately for this particular stream, the site is only providing an 'auto' quality for this stream. Upon opening the url from the api call we still get only one quality
Code:
http://stream-01.sv6.dailymotion.com/52/dm/3/x3m6nld/live.m3u8?e=1512162188&st=QJXMCSmNvsnolnM8_ct-OQ#cell=lsv6
which is then passed to Kodi Videoplayer.
It is upto Kodi to pick the right stream based on your available bandwidth. The above url when opened by Kodi presents multiple qualities, but by then addon has nothing to do there and kodi handles it.
Code:
#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-VERSION: 1
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:RESOLUTION=320x180,FRAME-RATE=25.000000,BANDWIDTH=475136,CODECS="avc1.42000c,mp4a.40.5",NAME="240"
live-0.m3u8
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:RESOLUTION=512x288,FRAME-RATE=25.000000,BANDWIDTH=847872,CODECS="avc1.420015,mp4a.40.2",NAME="380"

live-2.m3u8
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:RESOLUTION=1280x720,FRAME-RATE=50.000000,BANDWIDTH=2691072,CODECS="avc1.640020,mp4a.40.2",NAME="720@60"
live-3.m3u8
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:RESOLUTION=1920x1080,FRAME-RATE=50.000000,BANDWIDTH=7811072,CODECS="avc1.64002a,mp4a.40.2",NAME="1080@60"
live-4.m3u8
Sorry can't think of doing anything at the addon level for this.
