Also worth noting, I'm not sure if you're aware of this bug that's related to the crypto streamer. When first starting Kodi if I play an encrypted strm file immediately, movie or tv show, the spinning loading icon will spin endlessly, no video will load. To get around this, when you first start Kodi, you have to access the gdrive addon and sign into the account which hosts the encrypted files. From there, you can return to the main menu and play any strm file without hassle.

Definitely know what is causing this and hoping to finally fix it once-and-for-all soon.

For your attempts at loading PyCrypto, it fails because the modules wouldn't load?

I did hear pycryptodome works better on Windows, but I would need to validate everything works (plus I would need to make a call to it). I can make a change and give you a special build to test that tries to use pycryptodome.

I assume nothing loads as when I click "treat as crypto" it doesn't show the files. Yeah that would be great to test.


Oh and another suggestion. Seeing as local resume support is now working perhaps set that as the default setting.

I think the issue is that both can't co-exist, but there is an option here to install a dedicated third version that uses it's own userspace to ensure it doesn't conflict with Crypto. See here:
https://github.com/eirki/script.module.pycryptodome

This would definitely need a code change. I can make this change and also perhaps provide an error indicator to the user if Crypto is working or not.
