Hello,
Whenever trying to open a folder in the Svtplay plugin that contains a list of programs the plugin gives a script error. Please see debug log here: http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=2845
This means I can open folders like "Categories" and "Programs (shows list A-Z) but if I open the folder of a specific show or Recommended or another folder that should contain a list of streams to play and error is displayed.
The plugin was working fine until a few days ago.
I am running OPENELEC 2.99.4 ION Build.
UPDATE: The problem now seems to have inversed itself. Folders with programs now work but Categories gives script error and Live on SVT Play opens a blank list (but the live TV feeds can be found in Channels)
Looking at this thread http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=154016 which has identified to be a bug in the ffmpeg version used by current xbmc frodo it seems that the issue may only apply to when an m3u8 filed so if this could potentially explain why svtplay that sends the m3u8 directly to xbmc would bemore prone to buffering than XOT which according to what you sat seems to select and send one of the individual streams listed inside the m3u8 instead.
?
If this turns out to be the case would it be a large task to make also svtplay select the individual stream instead as this could be a stopgap solution until ffmpeg is updated in xbmc?

This plugin (xbmc-svtplay), however, feeds the original m3u8 file to XBMC and lets XBMC handle everything playback related. Still can't understand why XOT would have more stable playback since, in the end, the XBMC player is playing the exact same file for both plugins...Sure it is not just a fluke/temporary thing you are experiencing?
