Hi all,

I'm having an issue with playing an MP4 with my addon which comes from a specific source. I scrape other Mp4's with my plugin and they work perfectly, but anything from tunefiles fails?

This mp4 plays perfectly in a browser, but the exact same link fails in Kodi with:

Code:
08:12:25.014 T:5760   ERROR: CDVDDemuxFFmpeg::Open - Error, could not open file

This is the link:

Code:
https://cw011.tunefiles.com/files/videos/2017/07/10/149963244429bf7-720.mp4

And my get_url code is below (which works for everything else... I have a ton of media that I scrape)

Code:
def get_url(url):

        req = urllib2.Request(url)

        req.add_header('User-agent', 'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; SmartTV) AppleWebKit/537.11 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/23.0.1271.64 Safari/537.11'),('Accept', 'text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8'),('Accept-Encoding', 'none'),('Accept-Language', 'en-US,en;q=0.8'),('Connection', 'keep-alive')

        req.add_header('Referer', url)

        response = urllib2.urlopen(req)

        link=response.read()

        response.close()

        return link

Any suggestions?

I put the link in a .strm file and it played fine in Jarvis. Huh

Hmm, I'm running 17.3, tried on Apple TV4, Linux boxes, Android boxes, as well as PC, they all fail

No debug log (wiki) no issue.

Relevant bits -
Header issue maybe?

Please post your full debug log to pastebin.

if you download it, the file plays. if you download, then stick on another web server the file works. that's as far as i tracked it, it's something with the server/http(s) support in kodi that changed. i couldn't make it behave in ffplay/mplayer/vlc directly from the original server either btw.

Hi,

Has anyone been able to solve this? tunefiles is the only host that does not work for my addon as well in Kodi 17. I tried putting the link in strm file as well, but it does not work.
