I made sure I have the latest widevine from inputstreamhelper (x86-64 ubuntu linux).  I'm getting this: https://paste.kodi.tv/asojayiqam.kodi

For example (this content is free and publicly accessible):

python:

        url = 'https://content.uplynk.com/ext/b82f6b1017f64c7b872b8d80b276b280/24863c7d-b74d-431e-84a5-ef410eb99367.mpd?tc=1&ct=a&rn=1019170560&exp=1671290802&eid=24863c7d-b74d-431e-84a5-ef410eb99367&oid=b82f6b1017f64c7b872b8d80b276b280&sig=c69b6b9c7ac9d4d3eb317a52052d6bfb78a07431f65d14e2aa7cb294bd12daac'

        item = xbmcgui.ListItem(path=url, offscreen=True)
        item.setProperty('inputstream','inputstream.adaptive')
        item.setProperty('inputstream.adaptive.manifest_type', 'mpd')
        item.setProperty('inputstream.adaptive.license_type', 'com.widevine.alpha')
        item.setProperty('inputstream.adaptive.license_key', 'https://content.uplynk.com/wv|Content-Type=application/octet-stream&Referer=https://www.byutv.org/&Origin=https://www.byutv.org|R{SSM}|')
        item.setMimeType('application/dash+xml')
        item.setContentLookup(False)
        item.setProperty('IsPlayable', 'true')
        xbmcplugin.setResolvedUrl(HANDLE, True, item)

... any clues why this would 403?  It used to work, and I'm wondering if it's related to some deprecation google was going to do on December 6th?  (I don't know exactly when this started, less than a month ago.)
Could you post the full log next time? It would have answered this question - what CDM version do you have installed? The current one is 4.10.2557.0
So when it started up it was running 4.10.2449.0, the first thing I did when I noticed the error was go into inputstream helper and do a widevine update, and then confirmed in the userdata directory that it had upgraded to 4.10.2557.0.

But apparently what I did not do was restart kodi after doing that.  Now that I have since rebooted kodi, it appears to be working again.  So I think the issue is that awidevine update requires a kodi restart, but inputstream helper doesn't seem to warn you about that or prompt you or anything.

Is there a place to report that bug?

Thanks!
Thanks for the update, frustrating for you that a restart was needed for things to work. Yes I would suggest reporting over here - https://github.com/emilsvennesson/script...reamhelper
