Time out error - ERROR: OpenDemuxStream - Error creating demuxer

  • Hi all,

    Looking for some suggestions to fix what I think is a time out issue. I am trying to get this plug in Das Erste Mediathek | Kodi | Open Source Home Theater Software working correctly on a Raspberry Pi 3 running LibreELEC 8.0.2.


    Now when I try to play something it fails and tells me to look at the log:

    You can see there is a clear 30 seconds between Creating Demuxer and OpenDemuxStream - Error creating demuxer. The stream plays correctly in VLC on windows. The stream also plays correctly on the Pi when I use a link with less latency.

    Is there a client side timer I can change to force this to wait more than 30 seconds before failing?
