Basically, I have a plugin that I've been working on that has Py2/3 compatibility, so it works on Krypton to Nexus with no code changes (slightly different code paths, but just updates for things like list item formats).
In Krypton and Leia, it starts immediately as if it was local, because it is, but via a URL through another service. In Matrix and Nexus, it takes like 5-10 seconds, and it seems to lag at the demuxer, based on the logs. I'm not digging up logs for all 4 versions, but here's Krypton and Nexus.

Nexus
Krypton

The Player class

I have used web-pdb and stopwatch logging, and it gets through the entire play_video function in under 1s, and then it passes off to Kodi, where it takes a long time to play. Any advice would be appreciated.

A very interesting update on this: I looked at the Krypton log again, and I had that going over the internet via my remote endpoint, and Nexus was running over LAN. It's fast over the internet but not LAN? I'm not sure how that works, but it's worth looking into.

Providing only fractions of the Kodi log file, which also do not seem to have 'debugging' enabled, will not give us the full picture.

New, debuggier Nexus log

New, working Nexus log

I've been investigating it, myself. From that log, it seems like it might be the subtitle scanner trying to pick up that URL as if it were a normal directory, and then failing after 10s.

Sorry, forgot debug logs were a thing. It's been a few years since I've worked on kodi stuff.

I can confirm it happens on Krypton, Leia, Matrix, Nexus, and the Omega nightly from 2023-07-10.

I've been cleaning up the addon, so this log has a lot less deprecation garbage. Omega Log.

These are the lines that I worry about:
