On Kodi the streaming quality pops up and when I choose it looks like it wants to play, but then disappears.
On Smart tv, phone and iPad it works fine

Kodi is kak these days man... Honestly I just use Plex, and connect to a buddy of mines server. He does all the downloading and uploading. And then I just use the normal DSTV Now app.. Kodi is a whole lot of frustration for me these days

I try and avoid Kodi as much as possible, just no DSTV Now app on Amazon Fire Stick.

Anyone on Linux tried changing the user agent variable on Chrome?
Tried it. No luck.
From this morning I don't get the upgrade package error. Now it says, sorry we cannot play the video, try again later error.

If we all did that, this thread would not have existed
PS: I again prefer Kodi over Plex

That is related to the log I posted above. When playing a channel it needs to query the dstv license server but returns a http 400 error as mentioned in my post. Addon only works on android / firetv sticks at the moment.
Same here.
Snippet from my log posted here:

Just be patient, these guys do it for free in their free time. They also have lives. I have also posted on Matt's reddit.

The shield runs Android TV - should work fine. I have two boxes with "normal" android and they are running fine. Make sure you have the latest version of the addon and go into settings and install widevine before logging in.
Mine is working fine. I was runnnig on an old version 0.24.4 but upgraded to latest 0.25.3 and working fine on my windows pc

Mine is running a rooted full android firmware and using Magisk.

Should not be an issue running Magisk root manager. Only the dstv now app sometimes check for root and wont run but you can use root hide in magisk manager, the kodi addon should not have any issue. I am also running magisk on my one chinese box without issues and also to make the box google certified lol so I can run the dstv now android app as well
Yeah as said in posts above it seems linux is currently having widevine issues.
