Any thoughts?

Yes, two for starters.
- Please do not post your log file directly into the forum, but use a pastebin service website.
- Always provide the full debug-enabled log file, not just the part(s) that you find interesting.
@
persistability - you have two
banned addon (wiki) repos installed on your device. Whilst they are installed, we can offer no support for it here. See our
piracy policy (wiki) for details.
The forum moderators have determined that
banned addons (wiki) are present on your system. To receive assistance here, these banned items must be removed. If a clean log is not submitted within 3 days, then the relevant post(s) will be removed after this time.
Care to be specific? You mean I have these?
repository.noobsandnerds v2.3.5
repository.zomboided.plugins v1.0.0
or that I have some addons from them? If so, which ? Would be nice to have a simple way (in the log) of seeing what is "banned" rather than having to spend time guessing. Thx
Sure:
Code:
2020-08-02 17:34:08.204 T:140606567803008 NOTICE: ADDON: repository.kodil v1.3 installed
2020-08-02 17:34:08.204 T:140606567803008 NOTICE: ADDON: repository.noobsandnerds v2.3.5 installed
If you post your logs to our paste site (paste.kodi.tv) then all the
banned addons (wiki) and repos are highlighted in orange in the relevant log section. There aren't any addons themselves in your log that are banned, but our policy is that any repo that contains a
banned addon (wiki) is also banned, and those two above fit that category.
Whilst we don't support VPNs here as per our
VPN policy (wiki), they aren't explicitly banned here as we know LE does support them on their site. So Zomboided's repo is fine.
Thx for the info.
A Kodi log / config without those repos is at
this link.
Hopefully that is more suitable. Still get the same issue
Fraserc can you have a look at the addon, menus are coming up and listing videos ok but videos won't play
Hi there. Is this add-on still active? I can't see it in the add-on browser of a recent kodi installation on a rpi4.
Also, related to this, is the issue with the updated bfiplayer website structure something that is still on-going?
