Hi,

I have an addon which based on t0mm0.common.addon lib.

Currently I have my add-on created with the following snippet.

Code:

from t0mm0.common.addon import Addon

addon = Addon('plugin.video.howtovideos', sys.argv)
.
.
.
addon.resolve_url(stream_url)

on my method I am resolving the streaming URL and passing it to addon.resolve_url(stream_url) when I finally resolve the streaming URL. The playback happens fine if the sever is good, if it's slow then it takes more than 30 seconds to start the playback. Due to the 30 seconds timeout the video playback fails.

Is there any way I can set the timeout from my plugin?

Code:

imo, if something is _expected_ to need a timeout > 30 sec, its seriously broken. And no, afaik you cannot set the timeout from an addon.

currently not possible.

https://github.com/notspiff/kodi-cmake/c...9c643c23af makes it possible to pass as a protocol option, i.e. append |URLENCODE(connection-timeout=<value>) to the http url. feel free to submit to mainline (i won't).

Well, the server isn't that bad.. I manually calculated the time it takes to play a video on my PC and it takes ~35 seconds which is more than kodi default timeout. The same stream plays like 2/10 times. So, in this scenario it will be a good idea to have a option to set stream timeout with specific to player/plugin/overall system.

Thanks for the pointer. let me see if I can make it.
