Any advice?

just to be clear, they do not show up in the addon but they are showing on website?

Yes, I can watch them on the website, but they are not listed in the addon. Kodi log shows this:

these errors are actually not the issue, they are expected as I didnt push fix for this but everything was working. what is your location? I can't even get anything live to play on website at the moment.

[cicero22]

Germany (connected via Indian VPN). Still everything fine for me...

Hi @yocoldrain. Thank you for your good work. Live streams do not show for me as well. They are there in the hotstar app, but they don't show up in the plugin. Everything was fine till a couple of weeks back. I am using an indian proxy. I am able to see live events using the same proxy on my PC, but that content doesn't appear in the plugin.

Another interesting thing is that it looks like my plugin is 'stuck in time' i.e., even for the non-live content, it shows me some old content and not the latest one from the website. I have tried uninstalling, deleting cache, and reinstalling the plugin, but that didn't resolve the issue.

Could you kindly look into this? Thanks.

[yocoldrain]

yes, they have changed website. I've fixed live streams on local machine, but I need to figure out how to incorporate new site changes.

[agemineye]

Thank you for your work @yocoldrain. Would it be possible to put your plugins in a repo so that we could get automatic updates?

Hi,

I am a new user and just downloaded Kodi and Hotstar on my fire tv stick.
Could anyone guide me or pass the link of any tutorial on changing the IP address to watch hotstar.

Appreciate the help.

Thanks

I am able to see the settings of the add on and an option for an Indian IP address. I entered an indian IP address from the link given in the settings, but it is still not working.
Any help/suggestions??

thanks

probably today. I've been busy trying to make two different categories for Old look vs new look, but i'll just go ahead and push fix for whatever I have later in the day today.

[yocoldrain]

new fix pushed
- sports should work again (only Live usually works for me, since I don't have indian VPN)
- added featured category as on website
- added images/fanart wherever possible
-

[joesucks]

Will i get this as an addon update or do i have to go get it from git manually?

Manually, my addons will never be auto pushed.
