That SVTplay works fine in a browser or in the SVTplay app is no indication of good behavior!
In a browser the user has visual cues as to what to do and the SVTplay app obviously does its own thing, most likely NOT through the website.
What the Kodi add-ons do is that they scan the SVT webpage code for certain markers where they pick up the data to be used inside Kodi.
And SVT is constantly changing their webpage code, so the add-on developers have to constantly update their code too to keep track of this.
A year ago I asked for an API for their play service such that a 3rd party interface could be developed with some stability.
But they were not interested in that.
