V2.0.1 fixes live streams and updates the add-on for Isengard. Now requires Isengard or above.
A PR has been made for the kodi.org repo, should update in a few days.

Just updated (from kodi.org repo) and happy to report that all feeds in the "RT Live" section are working perfectly for me on Kodi 16.1 (Jarvis).

Thanks.

Jarvis 16.1 RT Live live works well, no luck with Krypton B3 and Nighties on most of the 'live', but documentaries live did function!

Not an add-on problem. Works on Krypton Alpha2.

Update: I tested with Krypton Beta 3 on Android and the add-on seems to work fine.

Been using the RT add-on for a while on Jarvis and had no problems until several weeks ago. I would get constant buffering every few seconds on the Documentary feed but the live news feeds were perfect. Then, the live news feeds started being spectacularly bad. Video wouldn't start or pause/buffering every other second.

I'm using a ASUS Chromebox (LibreELEC) which is hardwired and I have 110/10 up/down. Upgraded to Kodi 17 and same issue. Any ideas what could be wrong? (I think my RT version is 2.0.1.)

All the streams work OK for me with no buffering. I would say it's something to do with your internet connection.

Not sure if it's my internet connection because if I turn on my Apple TV 4 and launch the RT app, its perfect. If I do the same with Kodi on the Chromebox or on my PC, non-stop buffering. Is there any logs that can be collected that could maybe explain why theRT app in Kodi is choking?

UPDATE: Never mind. It was my cable modem. It's just weird that the Apple TV was rock solid and Kodi wasn't.

Good morning,

Having issues with the Russia Today addon. Live RT news streams are currently not working from within kodi, however from a browser the live streams are fine. My platforms are Android and a desktop Linux install.

Perhaps of some interest is that the RT Documentary seems to work fine, as well as the show archive streams -- such as Keiser Report, Larry King, et cetera.

Anyone else confirm the RT addon having issues today?

Thanks!

I am experiencing same issue as of this morning 2017-05-23 Seems only to effect RT America Live (Stream) same problem Kodi 17.1. Any help would be appreciated.

I think RT Website changed URLs for all live feeds except Documentaries. When this happen last time someone kindly posted a pastebin with instructions of new URLs to insert into RT Kodi addon.

I just tried it on my Raspberry Pi 3, and all the live streams except for the Spanish one are working for me.

I am using LibreElec 16.1 Jarvis. However- I am using version 1.10.1 of the RT addon because that version allows me to specifically choose 480p resolution.

MY ISP has caps, I try to save a bit of bandwidth wherever I can...

[theGuruWithin]

Still not working .... can anyone suggest an URL extraction tool so i can update stream URLs for RT LIve America - Global etc. Since streams are still running on RT website. Not sure how to pull new URLs from browser.... I do understand how to edit default.py to insert new URLs once I have identified the path....

Thanks again to Kodi Community for all the support!

PS I tried the earlier version 1.10.1 and it too has same issue as newer 2.xx.x

this is the code replaced in default.py file back in Aug 2016 to fix similar issue then.

def getLive():
ilist=[]
rlist = [("http://rt-eng-live.hls.adaptive.level3.net/rt/eng/index%s.m3u8", __language__(30005)),
("http://rt-usa-live.hls.adaptive.level3.net/rt/usa/index%s.m3u8", __language__(30006)),
("http://rt-doc-live.hls.adaptive.level3.net/rt/doc/index%s.m3u8", __language__(30007)),
("http://rt-uk-live.hls.adaptive.level3.net/rt/uk/index%s.m3u8", __language__(30008)),
("http://rt-a.akamaihd.net/ch_02@325606/%s.m3u8", __language__(30009)),
("http://rt-ara-live.hls.adaptive.level3.net/rt/ara/index%s.m3u8", __language__(30010))]


I found this post on working URLs but don't know how to change code to update... (I am somewhat of a newbie to code)

Seems the folks still using Kodi 16 are ok, while those using Krypton are having issues...?

This is why I haven't upgraded... too many issues.

Be patient. Please stop posting code that's meaningless in the thread.
I have made the necessary changes, but it seems the website changed again so I want to wait a bit to make sure there aren't any more changes.
I will release to the kodi.org repo when the site settles down.

I'm just curious- if the website changed again, why is it still working for me in Jarvis? I just tried it and the live stream still works.

I'm sticking with Jarvis, and with 1.10.1 of the addon 'cause if it ain't broke... lol

Thanks for all the hard work you do creating these add ons and keeping them working! :-)

Sorry for mistake... I am just an enthusiastic newbie who loves this Kodi Community ... It was my poor attempt at trying to help. Hopefully one day i will understand....
