Hello, I'm not getting any audio when selecting the radio feed for games when using my Chromecast with Google TV device. This works fine on a different Chromebox device running LibreELEC. Any ideas what could be going wrong?

Here's my debug log: https://paste.kodi.tv/yocimavimu

I haven't experienced it, but you're not the first to report that about alternate audio tracks: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid...pid2977673

Not sure what could be causing it. If you could load up the same streams at the same time on both devices, you could compare their debug logs and see if anything stands out.
There seems to be an issue with the newest version of input stream adaptive and this add on, I was not able to play any streams with the addon. I checked the log and the error was “unable to find input stream adaptive 2.4.6.1”. I noticed that I had 2.4.7.1 installed. I downgraded to 2.4.6.1 and the addons streams started working again.
When I try to watch any game on NHL TV or MLB.TV I receive the following message: "one or more items failed to play- check the log for more info. about this message"
The log doesn't show any message...everything has been working fine until now...Any ideas Thank You
Is there any option he to watch live MLB games from the beginning?? Catch up does nothing but play the live action..Don't see anyway to rewind live games.
Any update on my question from 05-12 ?? Thank You

It's tricky in Kodi. Looks like @eracknaphobia had timeshifting (playing live games from the beginning) working with the NHL add-on. Not sure if this solution could be adapted here or not:

Also @eracknaphobia I hope you don't mind but I adapted this add-on for minor leagues games from MiLB.TV since I just got an account there.

Here's the forum link for anyone interested in my minor league version (it requires a MiLB.TV subscription which is separate from MLB.TV):

Interestingly, for live minor league games via MiLB.TV, I can seek back to the beginning in Kodi by default. Here are the differences I've noted about MiLB.TV streams: they aren't encrypted (no keys), there are no extra tracks (captions and alternate audio), the stream playlist files specify HLS version 4 rather than 3, and the #EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE starts at 1 instead of 0.

I'd be willing to test/investigate this further to bring live time-shifting to the MLB.TV add-on, if you have any tips.
Is anyone else only streaming in 540p when using best available? I used to stream in 720p 60fps, my bandwidth is fine. I tried disabling inputadaptive but and set to always ask but it doesn't give me the option to manually choose the stream, I'm in Australia by the way (not sure if it's choosing some Oceania cdn)

Thanks

Sorry not sure how to edit but just found a workaround for this by changing minimum bandwidth on inputstreams adaptive settings to 4000000 Bps not streaming at 720p 60fps just in case anyone else runs into this, not sure why though it's not automatically selecting this stream without that tweak.

P.S. love the add on, have used it for years
If anyone is interested in the ability to timeshift (start live games from the beginning when spoilers are hidden, and seek within live games), you can download an updated version of this add-on as a ZIP file from GitHub and install it within Kodi. (Hopefully these features will eventually be in the Kodi repo version too.) Below are the download links:

Kodi version 18 "Leia": https://github.com/tonywagner/plugin.vid...e-seek.zip

Kodi version 19 "Matrix": https://github.com/tonywagner/plugin.vid...matrix.zip

Edit to add: timeshifting also requires enabling the InputStream Adaptive add-on if you haven't done so already. Should be included by default in Kodi.

That's excellent.  I haven't used it to "time shift" per se but I like being able to pause the game and then come back to it later and continue watching from the same place.
The Cleveland Indians are now the Cleveland Guardians.  When trying to select a favorite team, the list says Indians.  I tried hand-editing the options file in userdata, but the next time I started the add-in it changed my favorite team to None.  Not a big deal, but I can't highlight my team any more.
Ok, I will fix that.
Is working this Addon fpr 2022?
