No audio in widevine content - cache-sk - 2019-09-11

I am contributor to addon, which provides live (and "archive") streams of TV.

It is crypted with widevine, so InputStream.Adaptive and InputStream.Helper is used.

I have many devices to test it (windows, CoreELEC, android tv and android devices) and it works flawlessly.

Except one tablet - Lenovo tablet with Android 6 and Mediatek chipset. But, i have been reported from other user with same tablet, that he doesn't have this problem.

So, when playback started, there is no audio and every few seconds is rebuffering.
When is InputStream.Adaptive set to video only, playback is smooth. When is InputStream.Adaptive to audio only, it just hangs completly.

I have done everything possible - factory reseted tablet, totaly wipe tablet (recovery mode), tried every Leia stable version (from 18.0 to current 18.4), every possible combinaton in settings, nothing helped.

And log is flooded with:

ERROR: CDVDAudioCodecAndroidMediaCodec::AddData ExceptionCheck 
    java.lang.IllegalStateException
ERROR: CDVDAudioCodecAndroidMediaCodec::GetData ExceptionCheck; dequeueOutputBuffer 
    java.lang.IllegalStateException

Here it is - https://paste.kodi.tv/buhivusimo.kodi

I have to randomly cut some sections to upload it succesfully..
And i have replaced urls and IDs of that service for security with **.

Any hints?

Android 6, eh? You too are a bit late to the party. This forum thread is from 2019...
Usually it's trolls posting such vague requests for help, but give us more info on your Kodi setup if you truly want support.

This happens only in some devices, like my mediatek chipset device and I tested the same plugin in other devices and no error occurred but in mediatek android 6.0 its happening... Here is the LOG and here is the plugin I used PLUGIN
Please fix or help me...

CCurlFile::Open failed with code 403 for https://hses6.hotstar.com/

That's a link/location you have no authorization for.

You also have not enabled debugging in the logging, so not every problem may be reported.
Also your 'PLUGIN' resource is already some 3 years old. It probably needs some updating for Kodi 19+.

Authorization is working perfectly in other devices with same plugin but I getting the error in android 6.0 & mediatek devices.
Also the PLUGIN source link I gave is updated recently its not old code, the repo in github is updated to work in kodi 19+.

Check the new log that is mentioned down in these replies of this thread... and also the plugin resource is updated and is working for kodi 19+

You will need the help from the original/current author of this add-on since this is not an official Kodi add-on.
I'm also seeing plenty of other, Java-related errors in the log file, which is totally 'not my department'.
Someone else will have to step in and determine why your Kodi setup has a problem with only Android 6.
