HBO Max - Video freezes, but audio continues

zico1981 · August 2, 2021 at 2:11 PM

Hi! I'm having difficulty playing some videos from hbo max: the video freezes and sometimes the audio continues after freezing. I tried to play them with a lower resolution and keeping the audio only in aac, but without success. i use libreelec 9.2.8 on an RPi 3b. Here is the log: hastebin Is there anything I can do? Thank you!

That's an interesting part of the log, when the stream stops:

It seems like the "InputStream Adaptive" add-on can't deal with the A/V format. Maybe go to the Kodi forum, and ask the dev's of this add-on.
