Can't watch streams on Kodi

rodrigothaw

I'm having a problem on Twitch.tv, Youtube lives or anything that use stream system.
I did a fresh install of Batocera Recalbox 5.8 with Kodi 17 and tried to watch any stream from Youtube (Official app) Twitch.tv or something that use stream and i can't watch, says that ocurred a error and i should look the log for more informations, on log say something about error creating Demuxer.
Before you tell me, i tried to ask on Kodi forum and on Twitch.tv app thread and they have banned me for rule violation because i can't get support for using Kodi from a third party distribuition because he is not "under the control of Team Kodi or the XBMC Foundation"

TL;DR So they can't help me because i'm not using XBMC or LibreElec

It's on a Raspberry PI 2

Here is the full log, the twitch interaction starts at line 270.

it might be missing dependancies. remove the plugins, find a differnt repo and redownload the plugins, hopefully it finds the dependancies correctly
and there is no official apps on kodi each and every single one app depends on some coding guy in a basement trying to hack a solution to each service's public apis. youtube app will eventually stop loading streams because daily limit reached, and twitch might chnge the api implementation. tht guy in the basement has to change everything again

By any chance have you tried changing the video backend used in kodi? try all the different ones.

edit: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=134538&page=44 it appears the newest plugin version of twitch isnt working now.

does it work in openlec ?
if no => maybe support from kodi
if yes, a problem with batocera, for sure.
however, batocera has just kodi installed on it.
one tip : for the plugin filmontv, i had to edit the plugin because it was not updated for kodi17, and i had to remove one argument in one line of code referencing the player "MPLAYER" which disapeared with kodi 17. (solution found on internet, not mine), but i guess that some other (old or not uptodate) plugins have the issue ; true in batocera or any other distribution.

There are a lot of reasons for Kodi not working which we should acknowledge these reasons and try to away from it to avoid any problem in the working of Kodi. We can fix this error to follow the given methods.

1) To Clear add-on cache help to fix this error.

2) Installing Add-ons manually instead of Builds. Because Builds have all the add-ons installed earlier and provide you a “fully packed” experience without you having to do anything else. So, try to install Stock Kodi and add the add-ons one by one manually.

3) Tweaking Kodi itself and this method is lengthy and you can follow https://appuals.com/fix-kodi-not-working/ to have complete information about this methods and some others methods as well to fix this issue.

There are many reasons why your stream is error and one of the biggest reason is using an addon that no longer works or hasn’t been updated.
