Are some users still having some issues, I still can't open programs from the guide.  The screen just flickers for a second and then nothing happens.

I just installed today and I get this as well  

the program guide has been a problem for a while. We have been waiting patiently for developer to update. I have been grateful for everything he has developed on kodi and will continue to wait for that update.

the uepg can be fixed by modifying line 400 in resources/lib/plutotv.py:
from:

Code:

tmpdata['url'] = self.sysARG[0]+'?mode=9&name=%s&url=%s'%(title,urls)]

to:

Code:

tmpdata['url'] = self.sysARG[0]+'?mode=9&name=%s&url=%s'%(title,urllib.parse.quote(urls))

wrapping

Code:

urls

with

Code:

urllib.parse.quote(urls)

will allow the uepg to pass URL encoded urls to the plugin. the issue with the current plugin is that uepg will not encode the URL before passing it to the plugin and the URL passed to the plugin will become part of the plugin's URI arguments.

i've tried this fix and it works. can anyone else confirm?

I can confirm this fixes the issue in Leia 18.1 with Pluto.TV 1.1.8. Works quicker than a cable box, actually.

Any luck getting this to work on android kodi? I'me getting comercials / adverts in the middle of a show with no way of returning to the show itself. The rest of the show gets replaced by a 20 minute advert that just loops the same frame over and over... And because it stasrts from 0:00, stopping the video and then trying to play again, will make kodi think the point I stopped the advert is the point I left the show at...

Sadly my parent's android box is a little old (MyGica ATV 495X), so the official pluto app doesn't really work at all.

Yesterday I've updated Kodi to 18.7 and tryed again and it seems to work fine now. I hope it stays that way XD

I'm running on an Android TV box with Kodi 18.6 and have seen similar but not quite the same problems with the Live TV channels

1. After the commercials play and stop it doesn't return to the show. I have to stop/start playback and it usually resumes without problems.
2. During Live TV playback it sometimes jumps back to an earlier scene from maybe 20 seconds ago and starts playing from that point

I'm not sure if anyone else has seen this. Maybe I need to upgrade to 18.7 too.

ANy plans to update the interface?
Pluto.tv looks great on their web interface. and the android app.. the kodi plugin is clunky and the guide doesnt let you tune into a stream. 

just curious.

Yes, on my X86 PC's (running LibreElec),  it 'loops' the last 15 seconds (aprox) 'before' commercial breaks, and 'stalls' when returning from them, and sometimes 'crashes' Kodi...
I am running 18.7,  so I don't think that upgrading 'your' Kodi version will resolve the issue...

that will be because Inputstream Adaptive and ffmpeg don't currently support EXT-X-DISCONTINUITY in HLS playlists.

There is a fresh PR (https://github.com/peak3d/inputstream.adaptive/pull/477) by GlennGuy from a few days ago to add support for EXT-X-DISCONTINUITY to IA.

I KNEW IT !!

I wonder what the ETA for the mods to make it into an updated add-on version will be...

Hello Lunatixz,
I'm having the same problem with my user account connecting on a Firestick.
I have debugging enabled, what do I need to do next?
Thank you

[atlantius21]

When I try to open the addon it says unable to connect check user credentials and shows an empty folder.. what should I do?
I tried with Guest and with my account, same issue

Live - error, empty folder
Lineup - error, empty folder
Categories - works I can see categories, but every category - error, empty folder
On Demand - works, I can see movies and tv show BUT I only can open tv shows, can't open movies
Guide - error, empty folder

I wanna watch live tv, how to fix? On pluto website all channels works
I saw many people have same issue, and nobody tell them how to fix. Two years same issue.
Why developer can't fix this?
It's obivusly error in addon, credentials doesn't work

Kodi 18.4 Win10x64

It's not a major issue, but is there a possibility of being able to export on-demand movies and shows into the kodi Library, similar to the way that it is done in the Netflix and Prime Video apps? Thanks for all the hard work!

Yes, looking into that with the new "Media Importer" tool, as for updates none are planned for Leia, I'll be moving to Matrix exclusively. THX

Hi Can this be used in New Zealand?

Hi Can this be used in New Zealand?

You'll have to try it and find out, details on the web seem sketchy.  There is very little (well, no) information about Pluto TV in Canada.  I saw recruiting ads for new employees to deal with rights issues for Canada so I have some hope.  Otherwise using Pluto TV in Canada legally, it's not of much use yet, 11 channels.  And you can't even access them in the guide because clicking in the guide won't work anymore, although it seemed to be a quick fix the last time it happened.

Thank you for this fix. Makes the guide work again.
