not sure if this is the right form to post on but youtube-dl

Its not ....... this thread is for one specific plugin as the heading says.

For advance settings I use ares wizard to set them up, no messing with trying to put the file in yourself in android.

https://seo-michael.co.uk/tutorial-how-to-install-ares-wizard-kodi/

• Programmes
• Ares Wizard
• Tweaks
• Advanced settings wizard
• Next
• Generate settings
• Apply these settings
• Close and reopen kodi

IF it doesn’t help, I find in general on kodi I just put it on SD if you want to press play and watch without hassle (if you don’t have say 2gb ram or a good spec box). Lower it in settings in this addon to maybe 1024 and see

Loving the add-on. Great work. Just a question around buffering. Seems to happen quite a bit about 10 mins in to a catchup show. Is there a way to avoid this? I have reduced the quality to 512kbps but still happens. Does the cache need clearing or something like that?

No issues with broadband. Its hardwired into 100mbps.

Using an android Fire TV.

Thanks. Any advice very welcome.

To be honest it can be anything but the actual plugin, with the exception of the live streams.
Try the plugin on a different device, i.e. laptop see if it is the same, if it is that would point to either your network, or your provider and rte stream sources link.
As well how is the actual rte web player works for you?

anyone any issues with rte player HQ in kodi , watching rte2 for the irl v belguim game?
From memory it started at the start of the game, before kick off, and I think once or twice more after that. When It was working it was fine with no buffering.

As I am going through a dns not provided by my isp, its 1 of four things as far as I know, my laptop, my isp, my dns provider, or the rte stream. Each time the playback stopped it did not even go to buffering, and slowly catch up. It was just dead. I did try conect to the internet with chrome. But this did not seem to work, a combination of not being able to open chrome and not being able to connect to the net.

Result being I had to restart my laptop. Each time I restarted. I opened up kodi and launched the game again on rte2 no problems.

Based on this I think it is my PC, but I thought I'd post here to get some ideas, as I would like to understand better.

Some questions re trying to investigate this:
Can I check the logs in kodi to give me some indication of what went wrong?
The same question for any other logs that I might be able to check?
Once you set up a video stream is the dns queried after the initial set up of the stream, and ongoing during the stream?

Ste-

I've been watching most of the games on RTE and haven't had any issues buffering.

Hats off actually for the add-on as it's made these euros nice to watch in 720 quality.

think thats a different addon, with rte, tv3 and tg4. I never had any joy with that. did you get tv3 working? if so can you provide details version and where to get the zip?

try this http_zakalibit.github.io/kodi.rteplayer.hq/ add on it should work for rte channels

Got an email from RTE about "unauthorised version of RTE Player on GitHub", for now I removed it from github.

zakalibit

There are the T&C http://www.rte.ie/about/en/serving-our-audience/2012/0815/333706-terms-and-conditions-for-rte-ie/

I do not see which of them plugin infringes?

Johnboy1951

I wonder if it is

8.

I have no idea how well protected from use are such things as Logos, names, and such are, but that was the only part that I though MIGHT have some relevance.

Does having the RTÉ name and some logo appear on the users machine have some bearing?
I don't see how myself as the plugin is named Irish TV and not RTÉ player, but I am not a legal eagle.

zakalibit

it is actually

I believe this is relevant ...... as it is the user of the plugin that displays any RTÉ name/logo etc., and thus it would be for personal use.

But it is not my head in the noose

@zakalibit
Fair enough. I wonder did this forum bring it to their attention? But maybe you should parnter with them or somehow find a way to kee up your good work. Because I surely appreciate your work and I think your addon is better than the rte player website or any of there apps, but that's just my opinion.

I might not have enough info in this area and I am not sure about the commercial aggreements but bbc and itv have oddons for kodi, not sure if there official, but I think RTE need to embrace this change. Its just another way of getting their content, it's like going out and buying a telly(I know tahts a bad analogy).

But they seem to be doing work on their distribution:
RTE overhauls its distribution plan to meet changing media patterns

@HattrickNZ I do not see any reasons why I'd waste my time doing it
As you can imagine this needs a lot of dedicated time and effort, that has nothing to do with the technical aspect of the subject, everything I did so far was interesting and challenging from engineering point of view.
I'm an engineer I like to solve technical problems.

yup its a special club that you can access after 50 posts!

I've installed this plugin on a Raspberry Pi running Libreelec, and my laptop running openSUSE and it generally works great (had some issues on Wednesday night post-match but that was probably excessive traffic on the site) and way better than trying to access RTE player via the website

The only problem is that I don't have the Live channels on the laptop, when I click on the Live option it just shows an empty menu. The Kodi version is 16.1. Any ideas?

HattrickNZ

@Hotblack Desiato

think you need this. you need to point your addon at it. see some posts back by me which might have more details, and this is for windows(from memory) so not sure what the equivalent is for linux.

Thanks for the link I will try to check back and see what the one I used to install the Irish TV because I installed a lot over the last few weeks and the Irish TV just happened to come up on one by accident. The picture quality I have for 3e isn't great and it does cut out a lot but I will try to find it for you.

Yes they could at the time (VLC).
Not any more it seems.

They appear to have changed in the meantime.
