Hello guys,
I am trying to play some IPTV stream from some paid IPTV provider and getting an error on Kodi Helix (tried on MAC and android)
Here is the error I see in the log:

Also it opens just fine in VLC player. When I try to open it in browser, it tries to save [file name].ts
Looks like something changed in curl after 12.3 xbmc version. 13.2 is also not working...

P.s. At the moment you read this URL in log most likely won't be working at all, as service is paid and URL expires pretty quick.

Incomplete log.

Log posted to forum instead of paste site.

Log does not appear to be debug log.

The output of mediainfo may also assist.

Please correct.

[gerikss]

Thanks for looking into this.
Here is debug log link http://xbmclogs.com/pwgggly8m
What is output of mediainfo? How do I get it?

[nickr]

On linux I just install it with apt-get. Android I dunno. OSX - google point me to https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo/Download/Mac_OS

[gerikss]

As I said, if I try to hit the URL in browser, it asks to save the file. I saved it and uploaded to dropbox.
Here is the link https://www.dropbox.com/s/ktxdhktci2gf5u4/test.ts?dl=0
And Kodi plays this saved file just fine...

[nickr]

Yes my kodi plays it fine too.

I am at the limits of my knowledge in reading that log. I really only came in here to point out what more you might need to provide.

Hopefully someone more knowledgeable than me will be able to do something with it.

Thanks man!
Looks like something wrong with curl in Gotham/Helix... I can see in the log that it gets 403 response and it kind of makes sense that play doesn't start. However, it's not clear why it is getting that 403 as the same URL opens just fine in Frodo, VLC player or any web browser...

[k4sh1n]

DNS access issue, where the IP doesn't resolve to the host
Disable IPV6


advancedsettings.xml

PHP Code:

<network>
<disableipv6>true</disableipv6>
</network> 


[gerikss]

Unfortunately did not help...
Also, probably IPTV provider did something too because I see ip address in the URL now instead of domain name, but it still gets the same 403 error...
Here is the log http://xbmclogs.com/pkggcobgr

[k4sh1n]

So provider most likely is using SSL or similar on the stream, so IP doesn't resolve to host.
Basically the server is denying you access when you send a GET command the IP address is being rejected as it is beyond the libcurl range specified used by KODI.


Try replacing the libcurl.dll file with the one from Frodo and see if that resolves

[gerikss]

I did not try this on windows machine, but tried on MAC...
Browsed to /Applications/Kodi.app/Contents/Libraries and replaced libcurl.4.dylib file with version from XBMC 12.3 and Kodi did even want to start...
I ended up with workaroudn by addeding external player to Kodi and opening those links through it.
