Hey there!

I was wondering if it would be possible to add Yatse support to this plugin? With Youtube, TED and SoundCloud it is possible to send the video/music link from an Android phone through Yatse to Kodi. The video/music is then played on the TV.

What do you think? Would it be hard to implement this feature? If I wanted to do it myself, where should i start?

Great plugin by the way!

Thanks!

Describe the bug
Probably a parsing bug because the website changed again.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to 'Categories'
2. Click on '.Categories'
3. See empty listing

Expected behavior
See the category list.

(please complete the following information):

• LibreELEC v8.95.002
• Kodi v18.0-RC4

Log (if available)
There is no error in the logs.

Describe the bug
In between watching "De klas" and wanting to watch "Iedereen kiest" the addon stopped working. Nothing works at the moment, except livestreams.

It seems that the formatting has changed again, so we can't fall back on older expectations.

Describe the bug
Some items wont play for instance Dagelijkse Kost. When looking in the log we can see that he url to play the items is different then usual. It starts with "Remix" => http://remix.aka.vrtcdn.be/remix/121c2b8e-6369-441b-8efa-d3cd6c79e744/remix.ism/.m3u8

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1.Select A-Z
2. Select Dagelijkse Kost
3. Select the first item
4. Application gives loading screen but does not play the item

Expected behavior
The item should be played

(please complete the following information):

• Operating system: Libreelec
• Kodi Version: 17.6

Additional context

• Using a VPN: No
• Country you are using the addon from: BE

Describe the bug
Livestreams not working anymore. Apparently you need to be logged in now.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to Livestreams
2. Click on Canvas
3. See error

Expected behavior
Livestream starts to play

(please complete the following information):

• Country you are using the addon from: Spain (Tenerife) but normally from Belgium

I know that kodi 18 is just in alfa so it could be that you want to ignore this for now, but as you can see in attached printscreen, when I use retrospect in kodi 18 (latest version) on raspberry PI 2, a small icon is shown before each episode. With kodi 17 this is not the case. However probably because of this, the checkbox that an episode has been watched is not there anymore and that is quite enoying. Is it by purpose that this small icon is shown in the episode list and

could it be that this makes the 'has been seen' check is not there anymore? If so, would you also not prefer to have the check instead of the icon? An example is vrt.nu, professor T

Change channel name to the official spelling "Eén".

Describe the bug
I don't know yet what caused this, and I can't remember having seen this in the past usage of the addon. But stuff I have already seen is no longer marked as such, especially if it's been some time.

I would expect every item has a unique identifier and this identifier is used to recognize if it was seen before (stored somewhere in an internal database). But I don't think we store such an identifier, so at some point it gets lost if the content is "rewritten".

Currently running 1.4.0 on an updated osmc.

I checked the logs and see the following error:

I have the suspicion that this occurs when trying to display more than one 'stream' in a folder.
Displaying subfolders for seasons doesn't result in an error.
Also displaying folders with only 1 stream in them (like most movies and some docu's), also is no problem.

Livestreams have a different error message:

VRT is using new Media Services api to be called with the following url
"https://media-services-public.vrt.be/vualto-video-aggregator-web/rest/external/v1/videos/pbs-pub-a653dbcc-9a1d-49ea-8359-4815755688b9%24vid-86a6358a-46dc-4fd3-abdd-d4e2a20bc2f5?vrtPlayerToken=b1%402113adcf43f8a6ed7ffb0c70d64b8a9468b6347f73a5ae17f1d4fba88a58aba&client=vrtvideo"

I can get together all elements needed to retrieve a succesful url except for the vrtPlayertoken, i always get a token back starting with b0 (which i believe needs to be b1).

I believe i need a post request to "https://login.vrt.be/perform_login" with certain headers/data/cookies to retrieve a correct cookie which i then can pass to call "https://media-services-public.vrt.be/vualto-video-aggregator-web/rest/external/v1/tokens" which will give back a correct token.

Unfortunately so far i can not make a correct call to "https://login.vrt.be/perform_login" that should give me back the correct cookies to call "https://media-services-public.vrt.be/vualto-video-aggregator-web/rest/external/v1/tokens"

Since few days live url streams are not working anymore. Apparently due to DRM

(changed title and content since, everyone is talking about the live streams. While actually that is a seperate issue not related to the original)

At the moment, the release date of videos is not visible in list views. Adding the release date would make it much easier to identify the most recent video.

I noticed today that series which have multiple seasons, only the episodes of a single season is listed (the least recent one, it seems).

For example, selecting the Tomtesterom series from the the A-Z or Categories view, only shows the episode of season 2, while there's also an episode in season 3 (as of today, June 24, 2017).

When i leave my Raspberry Pi3 on and the A-Z menu is opened then after a while i get the overheating sign. I have a Raspberry Pi3 without extra cooling or anything.

I have no idea why this is hapenning, i just use the standard Kodi ListItem infrastructure.

I have this problem currently on Kodi 17.3 and before.

Videos of a specific series (e.g. Het journaal) used to be listed in the order that they appeared on VRT.NU. This was quite useful, as the most recent video would always appear at the top of the list.

Since commit fa79423, which fixed issue #2, the videos seem to be sorted alphabetically. When the episode list of a series that has a lot of episodes (e.g. Het journaal contains around 90 episodes), the user needs to scroll down, searching for the most recent episode.

Notes

• I couldn't immediately find the cause of this behavior change in commit fa79423. It could have been introduced to changes in Kodi or the VRT.NU website.
• I didn't have the chance yet to check if HEAD of master has this problem too.

Describe the bug
I noticed that when you are playing one stream in the VRT.NU addon, and while playing return to (any) menu you will see that it appears as if every file is being played.

This is when using the v1.7.0 master branch.

In this issue we can discuss the migration proces to a Python 2-3 compatible addon.

I think we definitely need to add the kodi.six library. Any ideas on this? https://github.com/romanvm/kodi.six

Secondly we need to import the Future library like this:

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-

from future import standard_library
standard_library.install_aliases()
from builtins import str

We can look at https://github.com/skipmodea1/plugin.video.tweakers as an example

Hi,

I tried the vrt.nu plugin. Works great! Many thanks!
Can it be possible there are no subtitles for the hearing impaired?
It can a big issue for the people that are older/hearing impaired.
Would you want to add it in a future update?
Maybe I overlooked it, and it's already added? I clicked on the subtitle icon when playing the
livestream of één during the VRTnews. Got no subtitles.

Greeting and thanks!

There are a lot of broken links in the Ketnet content. Most of the Movies just won't start playing. Can it be cache related?

Sinds de update opent de vrtnu-addon niet meer. Kodi 18 geïnstalleerd, zelfde probleem. Terug naar 17.6, nog steeds. Draait op Rbpi3, LibreElec.
Bij openen kom ik op pagina Series/VRT Nu: Bekeken
Geen inhoud op te zien...

Describe the bug
In the descriptions of the following programs we can find HTML entities, like &,   or '

• My brilliant friend extra's
• Pano
• Pantani - The accidental death of a cyclist
• R.K.eredienst
• The spirit of Hannah Arendt
• Van Gils & gasten muziek
• Villa Politica

I could not detect any in the plots of episodes.

On any GNU/Linux platform it is possible to watch the live VRT Akamai streams (almost) anonymously.
That is, one's IP-address might still be recorded.

Nonetheless, watching without logging in is done by opening the live Akamai .m3u8 stream using the Python youtube-dl -o - "akamai_stream_url" command and piping its output to a media player like | vlc -

Would it be possible to implement this solution in your Kodi plugin?
It might be that this also solves your overheating problems.

In my opinion, it is none of the VRT's business to know my e-mail address, whether I am watching or what I am watching. Watching with DVB-T or analogue cable happened anonymously. This is no longer the case with VRT NU or the overly expensive Telenet.

This issue will be present for all videos, that have a single episode to show on the website. And when there is also a section present "ANDEREN KEKEN OOK NAAR" then the video will not be able to be listed.

After installing the dependencies on a Kodi Android box we're unable to start the plugin.

The error log show some fatal errors in parsing the URL / Streams. (invalid syntax)

Describe the bug
Video's are unable to play.
This problem has been occurring for a while now, despite the upgrade to 1.4.2 and a complete reinstall of kodi.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. try to play any video

(please complete the following information):

• Operating system: Raspbian (jessie)
• Kodi Version: 17.3

• Using a VPN: no

Your help is much appreciated!

Let's use this ticket to discuss code structure and design briefly.

Hi,

As of today the live streams 'een, canvas, ketnet) do not play any more
Red Cross: "VRT.nu error, check log"
OS: Android TV Box

Not changed anything.
The items in the categories still work and play fine.

Greetings

I am in NL. My vrt account is verified, including Belgian phone number and allows me to stream content from the vrt nu website. However, in the kodi addon, whenever I select a stream I get a message:

Roaming settings are incomplete, to enable watching geo-blocked content while roaming please add additional information to the user profile

Can you please advise?

Thanks

Retrospect has a channel list, it would be nice if one could select a program by channel name.

Why ?

Because you can add Ketnet and Ketnet Junior as favorites to for a separate Children user in Kodi, and they would go directly to all the children's section.

As the title says, it would be alot nicer to use an API instead of scraping from the VRT.NU site.
It would make the addon more stable and most likely be faster.

The problem is, we (or atleast i) do not know which API, nor how to call it.
So any help is welcome!

Eerst en vooral: bedankt voor de add-on. Wij zijn grote fan!

Describe the bug
Een aflevering uit een reeks verschijnt soms niet in de lijst in de VRT Nu add-on.

Voorbeeld: "Iedereen beroemd" op https://www.vrt.be/vrtnu/a-z/iedereen-beroemd/2018/iedereen-beroemd-d20180714/. De website toont als meest recente aflevering die van 14/7, maar op Kodi verschijnt deze aflevering niet (meest recente aflevering in de VRT Nu add-on is die van 13/7).

Een ander voorbeeld uit de programma's die VRT Nu momenteel aanprijst op haar home pagina: bij "Flikken" zie ik 13 afleveringen op https://www.vrt.be/vrtnu/a-z/flikken/2002/flikken-s2002a1-vluchtmisdrijf/, maar de VRT Nu add-on toont er 12 ("Vluchtmisdrijf" ontbreekt).

Desktop (please complete the following information):
Kodi 17.3 / LibreElec op RPi 2
VRT Nu 1.3.1

Great work on the DRM streams but I could only get these to work without modification on Windows, not on Android (tv) devices with L1 widevine support.

The issue is caused by the check_widevine function in kodiwrapper.py not returning True on Android devices with widevine support. Hardcoding this function to True indeed enables the 720p DRM stream on tested Android devices. Not sure how to do the actual check for widevine support on Android...

When I try to play for example: Escape to the chateau it does not start.
Most other content works to play:

Describe the bug
I noticed yesterday-evening that this addon no longer worked.
After reproducing this on a second set, I noticed the logs show: ERROR: ADDON: Could not locate inputstream.adaptive.so.2.3.15

The same happens for any other stream and also happens on a second setup.
It seems to be related to a recent adaptive inputstream update ?

Netflix addon is still working fine.
It was the Netflix addon that triggered the update of the adaptive inputstream on this system IIRC.

Describe the bug
It's unfortunate that there is no better API to VRT.NU (especially since we all pay for this service anyway and the VRT is ending DVB-T free-to-air soon).

But that doesn't mean we cannot improve the experience for end-users:

• If the parser fails, dump the payload and URL so people have an easier time understanding what we expect and what changed, and offer a fix.

• If the parser fails, on non-critical metadata (and I guess most is) we could replace it with a stub identifier, but still offer the video's. In this case the end-user may not see e.g. the titles, but can still select a video to play

• If the parser fails, provide a warning (in case we do continue) or an error (in case we cannot) with some more information:

  • This issue is caused by the VRT changing the web interface (the only interface to VRT.NU that currently exists).

  • Please check http://github.com/pietje666/plugin.video.vrt.nu/issues for known issues and fixes.

  • Or investigate the logs to fix this yourself and contribute the fix.

• Maybe we can have a better/faster distribution mechanism for this add-on. E.g. we can create our own repository that would automatically get the latest version. Which means if we release a new version, it could be a matter of minutes/hours to have Kodi update the add-on, rather than days.

Describe the bug
To make it easier for watching TV We want Kodi to start the Vrt.nu Plugin automatically.

To Reproduce
Create file "autoexec.py" in folder: \Kodi\userdata
https://kodi.wiki/view/Autoexec.py
Add the follwing text to "autoexec.py":

import xbmc
xbmc.executebuiltin("RunScript(plugin.video.vrt.nu)")

Expected behavior
Kodi lauches and VRT.nu plugin started
Instead: Kodi starts and gives 'VRT.nu Error"

Would you be so kind to have a look?
Thanks in advance!

Here is the output from Kodi.log
Happens on Windows and Android
(same message - just different paths)

Describe the bug
For example "Het journaal" always shows subtitles (with an extra empty line as described in another issue) even when in settings "Show subtitles if available" is off.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. A-Z
2. "Het journaal"
3. play any (I do one on 19h)

Expected behavior
Since I set "Show subtitles if available" to off, I do not expect subtitles but they are shown.
However when I go to kodi settings, Player, Language, "Preferred subtitle language" which is on Dutch and I change this to None then no subtitles are shown.

Describe the bug
The subtitles show an extra empty line between subtitles.
Most likely this is an issue with DOS (\r\n) vs Unix text-files (\n).
(And this issue is likely in Kodi's subtitle handling, not in the addon)

(please complete the following information):

• Operating system: LibreELEC v8.90.009 on RPi3
• Kodi Version: v18.0-RC2

For 'series' that contain just a single video, the date isn't displayed. Only the video title is shown.

I discovered this bug recently in VRTPlayer.__get_single_video(path, soup), and I'll provide a fix shortly.

Sorry if this is an issue related to Kodi, not the plugin, but when I want to enter the Username I cannot enter my e-mail address because the on-screen keyboard does not have any @ key. Even when plugging in a USB keyboard into my Rasberry Pi that runs Kodi, typing @ displays nothing in the Username field.

I would like to be able to use a proxy specific for this addon. So that other addons can work without a proxy. This is to better make use of the bandwidth for an elementary school's Internet connection. Classes usually visit the same streams every day e.g. Karrewiet etc.

We currently plan to do this on the proxy-level, but that makes us dependent on the proxy for everything. So if there's an issue with the proxy, everything is impacted also the stuff that we don't need proxied. It would be more efficient and a better design if we can do this just for this addon.
