Hello everyone,

I was trying to understand why the addon "rivedila7" (to watch italian channe la7) did not work for me on openelec and I encountered what might be two separate but related problems. These would be about the system proxy settings of openelec and how xmbc player http headers are set.

In fact, trying to debug rivediLA7 plugin, I enabled debug log, and I could see, together with "403 - Forbidden" status codes, an error about a missing CRLF after HTTP headers (which were NOT set in the request).

I tried many times to reproduce the issue on my pc with no luck (always 200 - OK response code).

So I thougth of setting my laptop as a proxy in Openelec: magically the live video started working! - but no data was coming into my pc set up as a proxy. I also tried setting a non-existent ip on my subnet as proxy : it still works!

Therefore, with no further investigation, I thought the real bugs might be system-wide and not related to the plugin itself - but I'd need more investigation to confirm this hypotesis.

Does anybody know better about this?

Thanks!

OpenELEC hasn't been updated for almost 10 months. You could try switching over to LibreELEC.
Proxy settings and http headers are both internet network issues.

As not many of us will have experience with rivedila7, start with a full debug log (wiki) so we can see a few more inner details of your setup.

Thanks Klojum, moving to LibreELEC solved the problem.

About the issue itself, the debug log did not indicate more than the missing CRLF in the http header and the 403 forbidden error received by akamai servers. I guess it will remain a mistery, since the problem is solved otherwise : )

Thread marked solved.
