I don't see a bug here if the desired stream is finally played.

[L0RE]

I don't see a bug here if the desired stream is finally played.

Mayby to make the Problem Clear

http://sample.vodobox.net/skate_phantom_...ex_4k.m3u8

To watch the Video you need in Kodi 16
YOu Would need Minimal
288 Kbit for the Smallest Video

On Kodi17 i loads all streams so you need
288000+582000+1018000+1366000+2742000+5400000+7556000+10768000= 29720000

You Need about a 30 Mbit Internet Connection instead 288 Kbit

So this Video Would Only be playable for Kodi16 user or Kodi17 User if they have an very Fast Connection

I think this is a bug , or am i wrong?

[Update] Ah an Setting the Internet COnenction Limit to 1 Mbit, Kodi 17 still trys Loads all Videos, an try to play the 4k Video instead the best Video for 1 mbit

Setting the Connection to 1 Mbit, Kodi16 Loads only the Best for this Connection.So YOu will get 426x240 Video that would be Playble

[FernetMenta]

The old method that selected the video from the playlist was buggy and resulted in loss of audio stream for many videos. Now we leave this to ffmpeg. ffmpeg analyses the playlist and presents the results as selectable programs. kodi selects a program with regard on max bandwidth, others are discarded.

But right, there is a c/p error that results in wrong selection of stream. Nevertheless there should only be a single stream that goes over the network.

[L0RE]

Thats the Problem , when you Log the URL that ar called by Fiddler or mitmproxy. It Fetchers all Streams .

So You see it really Calls All Streams.

> Nevertheless there should only be a single stream that goes over the network.
Thats why i Mean its a bug, makes no sense calling all Streams

[FernetMenta]

Here is a fix: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/10913

In addition to discarding all unselected programs now I discard all streams not in the selected program.

Hope this helps.

[L0RE]

Tahnks , i will test .
Hopfully it will get in the Nightly Builds soon so i can test

[FernetMenta]

could you try this test build?
http://mirrors.kodi.tv/test-builds/win32...hlsfix.exe

[L0RE]

Much Better.

He Still loads all m3u8 Lists ans also from all Playlists the Segment1,
but then it loads only the Segments of The Streams that is with the Right Bitrate (The Other Streams stoped after Segment 1

It that with the Segment1 correct?

[FernetMenta]

It that with the Segment1 correct?

That most likely occurs when ffmpeg analyses the streams. In order to do so it decodes a bit of every stream.
