Hi everybody.
I have a problem with the Simple Client. When I click on a tv channel, it seems would loading but it doesn't work.
How can I resolve?

What TV channel are you trying to watch.... be careful, especially if you haven't read these....

Hello,

I have the same problem.
It used to be working until last time I used it (3 days ago).
Now for every channel I select the blue loader starts for half a second then the channel does not load.

I am using a private list, which correctly works on my Mac, so the stream is ok.
The problem exists on my Sony TV.
What could it be?

Who knows without a debug log (wiki)

I wish I was able to generate one...

I uninstalled and reinstalled both kodi and IPTV simple client without success in the meantime.

What is the problem with generating a debug log?

Hi I managed to generating the debug log.

I won't share the paste ubuntu Link as it contains my login credentials.
I think this is the problem
CCurlFile::Open failed with code 401 for http:// etc

The file extension is .ts
If i paste the same exact link in VLC on my mac the stream works.

If you need more information I can provide you with it.

Thanks in advance nickr

Ok, After a bit of research in this same forum the problem might be related to authorization restrictions from my service provider which might have blocked some user agents , in this case Kodi.
I have already contacted them to see what is going on.

I will keep you informed.

I think that from version 0722 there is a problem with argumented http links in iptv simple addon but since most of those links are pirated nobody wants to look into that.

Example:
