The old ones have this URL formatYes, and we cannot retrieve the m3u8 to look for the qualities inside because it is geoblocked.
and the addon looks for "videos" in the URL. But the newer ones(with no GEOIP block) have this URL format:
Up till Episode 605, the addon gets a reply from hotstar site as follows
Those urls are not geoblockedCode:{"errorDescription":"200","message":"200","resultCode":"OK","resultObj":{"checkCacheResult":"","height":"360","src":"https://hssouthsp-vh.akamaihd.net/i/videos/vijay_hd/neeya_naana/605/master_,180,400,800,1300,2000,3000,4500,kbps.mp4.csmil/master.m3u8?hdnea=st=1529892751~exp=1529893351~acl=/*~hmac=f5a35ad7c39ec674051482170cb962c680f13f0f58b4a59d6db4db8f1b1f07bb","width":"480"},"systemTime":1529893051}
From Episode 606 onwards, the reply is this
It is not that the addon is generating a processed url, it is the site that is returning new geo-restricted urls. Nothing can be done unless there is a VPN, atleast for meCode:{"errorDescription":"200","message":"200","resultCode":"OK","resultObj":{"checkCacheResult":"","height":"360","src":"https://hsdesinova.akamaized.net/video/vijay_hd/neeya_naana/606/master.m3u8?hdnea=st=1529892315~exp=1529892915~acl=/*~hmac=a9e6e8a445e5bee75b0bf9849e953d6fbc52198682c82b36bc1ab07a7942f677","width":"480"},"systemTime":1529892615}
Maybe you are using Hola plugin or such in chrome to access hotstar, it is not working with just x-forwarded-for header anymore
