This must be something Linux specific, I use a Mac.

I have tested this user the M3U entry you provided and it works for me.

Do you have eanbled any of the audio decoders?  As seen here https://github.com/kodi-pvr/pvr.iptvsimple/issues/212 ...  

I tested using kodi 18.3 that I built myself (with no extra addons, just the defaults). And 18.4 downloaded from kodi.tv.

What do you want me to check, just tell me where to look. However the addons I have should be listed in the log files I posted.

It would be a strange issue though to have audio addons conflict with a PVR addons. 

Can you try disabled them and see what happens? Not sure which you would disable.

[phunkyfish]

If we can find out which audio decoder is causing the problem that would allow us to dig further.

[phunkyfish]

I only have AAC and WMA installed. If I install 2SF audio decoder it will fail

Can you try disabling this decoder?

EDIT: Seems to fail if any extra audio decoders are installed (excluding AAC and WMA). So maybe try only leaving those two enabled.

Indeed disabling the addon audio decoders does solve the problem ... (nevertheless this is not intended I guess):

I've created a PR to fix this issue: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/16653/files

Once merged in Matrix will backport to Leia, so will be in 18.5 if/when that's released.

Even though my fix worked this is the real fix: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/16654

[Wanselot]

Hello,
I'm new and have a similar issue on new Kodi Installation (LibreELEC 9.2.6, Simple IPTV nightik 3.9.8.1) on Raspberry PI zero with a mpeg2 codec license.  I've got a m3u list from cable router with rts protocol. I've manipulated this file and set the radio="true". All senders were shown correctly in radio tab. But if I try to start them the player immediate shut down in less then one second. The only interessting debug log entry is

Code:

2021-01-27 13:31:01.800 T:1675604864 ERROR: ffmpeg[63DFB380]: [rtsp] method PAUSE failed: 503 Service Unavailable

So I tried install ffmpeg tools but the error still remains.
Could it possible that the stream from router does not support pause and so the whole application crashes?
I've found a similiar problem https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=339685 without any solutions so I've workarounded this problem with internet mp3 streams.

Thanks for help!

Cheers
