v15 PVR simple client can't play the channels
#1
Hi there.
Is there a reason I can no longer use the IPTV simple client? It worked fine during the last years but suddenly I can't seem to get it to work. PVR client fetches the channels fine but when I try to watch them I always get fail. It says working, there is no error message, just can't play the channels. I use RPi 1st gen with OpenELEC on board. It doesn't relate to the version. It has stopped to work on Kodi 14 Helix and it doesn't work after upgrade now on 15.2.
Any ideas where is the problem?
How can I up a debuglevel and see the details in any logs via SSH?
Different clients are working fine with the same m3u in the local network, i.e. firewalls and routers etc that's no the point.
Thanks in advance.

Ditto
I'm using it with eye tv and this has coincided with me reinstalling that software. Thought that was the issue, may be notHuh

btw: the version of PVR SC is 1.11.5. I can see the following disclaimer:
"This is unstable software! The authors are in no way responsible for failed playings, incorrect EPG times, wasted hours, or any other undesirable effects."
OK, but where can I get the stable version instead and why did the unstable software fall into the stable build of Kodi?!

What about the issue? Does anybody know how to see the logs of the addon?

So, I've found out the error in the log of Kodi when running the PVR simple client.

It means Kodi cannot open the URL. Specifically it looks like it cannot resolve the "ott.local" domain name.
