Is there anyone out there who uses an add-on to export streams to the Kodi library called Osmosis? I have been using it for SlyGuy addons for a long time, because there is no other option (Netflix and Amazon addons have internal solutions). Unfortunately, Osmosis for HBO Max has stopped working for me and exports to the library do not work for me. I thought it was a problem in Kodi Omega Alfa 3, but the problem is also in Kodi Nexus... It always ends with the error "2023-10-05 19:01:23.770 T:10177 error <general>: GetDirectory - Error getting plugin://slyguy.hbo.max/?_=_bookmarks". Export from Disney+ and others addons works. The problem is only with HBO Max. I have the latest version 0.11. I have no idea what the problem could be. Changes to Osmosis haven't been happening for a long time, so I guess there's something different about the HBO Max addon.

Hello!
I've tried Osmosis few weeks ago, and it did merged HBO Max content with my library content. Haven't had any trouble doing it, but decided it's too hard to find my own content if it's all merged into the library. At that time HBO Max addon was working properly (no error about fetching JSON data), but the version of addon haven't changed since (0.11). So, maybe HBO Max made changes in their API that causes both, error in HBO Max addon and Osmosis.
Best regards,
Davor

Is it me or the addon doesn't work anymore on Android?
I can only play a few movies and old TV shows. New ones, like Wonder Woman 1984 won't play. There isn't any error, just playback never starts (blue circle spinning all the time).
This content does play on PC but in SD only.
I tested on an nvidia shield, a chromecast with google tv and a fire stick, it doesn't work on any of them.
Edit: the problem in android is fixed if I turn off the SlyProxy option in the SlyGuy common addon.
Edit 2: I think I find out the problem. When using the "bypass" or "disabled" in the playback quality option in the addon, it appears it sends all video streams to kodi, including those not supported by the device (like HDR and Dolby Vision), even if those formats are disabled in the addon settings. And when using the SlyProxy those unsupported streams seem to be at the top of the list. As a result kodi selects one of them and playback is not possible. Selecting another option in playback quality fixes the problem.
