Widevine errors with inputstream helper and inputstream adaptive using HD Austria

Hi everybody,

I use LibreELEC since version 9.2 and everything has always worked so far.

But for a few weeks now the kodi addon "HD Austria" (https://kodi.tv/addons/nexus/plugin.video.hdaustria/) is not working any longer.

I am running LibreELEC 11.0.3 (updated from 11.0.2 updated from 10.0) on a raspberry pi 3b (2015).

To reproduce the problem and to avoid interactions with other addons I did a fresh installation of LibreELEC 11.0 (not 11.0.3).

Then I installed only HD Austria addon and its required dependencies InputStream Adaptive and InputStream Helper.

With InputStream Helper I installed Widevine (hana, 15604.57.0).

Afterward I tried to use HD Austria but its the same problem as with my default system.

According to the log file, the following errors occur:

critical <general>: [script.module.inputstreamhelper] ['ldd', '/storage/.kodi/cdm/libwidevinecdm.so'] cmd failed.
critical <general>: [script.module.inputstreamhelper] Failed to check for missing Widevine libraries.
error <general>: GetDirectory - Error getting /usr/lib/kodi/addons/inputstream.adaptive/
error <general>: CCurlFile::CReadState::FillBuffer - (0x5bc3f9c0) Failed: HTTP returned code 403
error <general>: CCurlFile::Open - <https://license.solocoo.tv/wv?c=m7be2%3A2%......
error <general>: AddOnLog: inputstream.adaptive: License server returned failure

Running command ldd on libwidevinecdm.so results in: "error while loading shared libraries: /storage/.kodi/cdm/libwidevinecdm.so: DT_RELR without GLIBC_ABI_DT_RELR dependency"

As far as I found out, I was not the first to have this problem: https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/issues/8207

According to this post and HiassofTs comment, I am also using ORF TVThek Addon and it works without errors.

I am also using Joyn Addon (with its dependencies InputStream Adaptive and InputStream Helper) and it also works without errors.

It seems that some addons have problems and others not but the error messages are from inputstreamhelper and inputstream.adaptive.

Thanks for every support.

I don't use the HD Austria addon myself (don't have a subscription for that) but I strongly suspect it's an issue with that specific addon, so best to report it on it's issue tracker.

You can safely ignore the inputstreamhelper messages in the log (they are false-positives, the checks it does don't work on LE) and the inputstream messages may be a result of issues of the HD Austria addon.

We have an inputstream.adaptive update to 20.3.14 in the queue (new addon should be build and available in the next days), you could wait for that and retest once you got the update but the changelog doesn't look like it might help (it seems to fix subtitle stream issues).

It could be due to some bug in inputstream.adaptive but only the HD Austria addon devs are able to narrow it down as we're not familiar with that addon - hence best report it to them and let them figure out what's wrong.

so long,

Hias

I use a different Solocoo provider (Skylink) which also stopped working recently (same 403 error you get), and my understanding from the discussion on another forum is that they've activated VMP (Verified Media Path), which has effectively stopped playback from working on Linux.

Thanks for the quick feedback.

The proprietary empire strikes back.

Unfortunately this is a huge issue for HD Austria (https://github.com/add-ons/plugin…deren/issues/63) in particular and for Linux generally.

Hope springs eternal or maybe there is a Jedi out there.
