  • PVR add-on does not connect to channels

    After digging quite a bit, I was able to solve the DNS Leak problem only installing another distribution (Raspberry OS) with Kodi and integrating the solution proposed at this link:

    GitHub - jonathanio/update-systemd-resolved: Helper script for OpenVPN to directly update the DNS settings of a link through systemd-resolved via DBus.

    At the end of the day, the VPN was established correctly but the traffic was not redirected throught the tunnel causing the leaks.

    I don't know how frequent or common this problem is, but for me this was the only solution I could find. I wonder if it would be possible to integrate it directly into LibreElec, to make it bulletproof against DNS Leaks.

    Many thanks,

    Giuseppe.

  • PVR add-on does not connect to channels

    Hi,

    after testing and contacting the VPN provider support we ended up there is some DNS leak in my sistem. This happens even if I manually specify the DNS address into the system options.

    I found this old thread reporting a bug that could be the same in my case:

    Static route when specify DNS Server and DNS leak in VPN - Bug Reports - LibreELEC Forum

    Even in my case, the interface specified for the DNS addresses is the wlan instead of the tun0. So, I think it may be related to the general linux installation on which LibreElec is running... what do you think?

    Hi and thanks a lot for your suggestion.

    Unfortunately I'm not such a linux user (therefore I decided to go for LibreElec :) ), but I can share the ifconfig and the routing table I get from the system with the VPN up and running. Would you mind to take a look and see if you notice something that can be related to my issue? What would be in case the analogue command I would have to test like it is in your network?

    Thanks a lot for the help,

  • PVR add-on does not connect to channels

    Hi all,

    I'm using a fresh installed release of LibreElec to watch public Italian TV (Rai or Mediaset) by means of the PVR simple client.

    First of all I established a VPN connection with openvpn, checking the resulting IP address with Indigo Plugin and veryifing that it's indeed an Italian address.

    Then I configured the PVR add-on as usual with IPTV channel list and tested most of them, but no link is accepted. Especially by the national channel RAI it explicitly shows a message that it doesn't accept connection from abroad.

    That's really strange to me since I was used to this approach since many years and it always worked well. I tested the VPN connection on another pc with windows 10 and I was able to connect to any channel in the list by means of VLC player or by simply the channel homepage itself. So, I would exclude the connection as the source of the problem.

    I tried also with the official Kodi RAI TV add-on, but even that one is unable to connect like the Italian ip address was not recognized.

    Unfortunately I don't have many clues, so I ask you if you could have any idea on what's going on or simply how to trace back the origin of such a problem.

    Thanks in advance and a happy new year,

    Giuseppe
