I am running Kodi from LibreElec 11.0.6 on an RPI 2. Playback is refusing to start unless I go through a disable/reenable loop with the add-on, then it works perfectly.

Partial log here: https://paste.kodi.tv/jakigupayo.kodi

Appreciate someone shedding some light on what is causing this and how to fix it...Or happy to be directed to another thread as appropriate.

Many thanks!

I can’t tell what version of anything you are running from your log.

Can you create a full debug log from startup and try to play something that fails? Then maybe I can help.

Hi

Thanks for replying. Apologies for taking so long to get back to you.

The log from earlier today is at:

Many thanks.

Do you have wait for network enabled under the LibreElec settings?

That’s probably the reason it doesn’t play straight away.

[jonachamberlain]

I've tested starting up, both with and without that option set, and the result seems equally random.

It seems that some service is unable to start reliably at startup, and the system cannot display iptv streams until I go through disable/enable cycle.

The log is very clear that it is a network error nothing to do with iptvsimple

You hjave lots have errors in your logs, I think the LibreELEC forums is a better place for this question.

Thanks for the response. that is an error that hasn't reoccurred since February last year, and I don't think its related to the behaviour I'm seeing atm.

Latest log: https://paste.libreelec.tv/eager-flamingo.log

The error from earlier today was:

Happy to be corrected, but it certainly appears to be related to iptvsimple plugin?

Looks like you have network issues like 2 devices using same IP address?

Code:

Also as phunkyfish wrote you need to enable "wait for network" in LE settings because when addon is started playlist is not loaded because of

If "wait for network" doesn't help then create file /storage/.config/autostart.sh with sleep 20 inside. Adjust value 20 with higher or lower value until it will always work.

Thanks for the suggestions @ultraman

I've already tried the 'wait for network' option but will create the shell script and see how it responds.

Fingers crossed.

[phunkyfish]

As @ultraman pointed out, you need to fix your network. Having multiple devices with the same IP will cause no end of problems.

Once that is fixed provide a new log if the problem still exists after following all the other guidance

[jonachamberlain]

Thanks all for your responses. The problem is now resolved.

The 'sleep 20' suggestion did the trick. 'sleep 10' also works, which is what I have it set to.

As previously mentioned, the network errors only occurred about a year ago, and haven't reapproved.

Happy for this to be marked as 'solved'

Many thanks!

Thread marked solved.
