[RELEASE] DStv Now KODI Add-on

[Düber]

Ping what address from the pi?

connect.dstv.com

It was the address in the error message, it does not seem to be an account issue as I just tried it on the pc and it works fine.

I'm thinking the Old man did something funny or perhaps an update managed to sneak itself through( the addon only worked with one of the earlier releases and not the more recent ones).
I will give it a thorough going through this weekend.
I am Just pleased that Dstv has not shut it down yet.

For some reason showmax doesn't work anymore, tested by me and my friend and both getting the following error "Invalid OAuth token"

@Jettafreak

Showmax thread is here:
https://mybroadband.co.za/forum/threads/release-showmax-kodi-add-on.970471/

I just tried and working fine for me.
Try logout and back in.
Failing that, try go into settings and "Clear Data".

Exact same error message

You'll need to find a new developer who wants to work on the add-on.
I won't be providing any further updates.

Sorry to hear that

 

[matthuisman]

Yeh, I spent quite a bit of time on this and the Showmax add-ons.
Then they get taken down.
Not worth my time sorry as I have many other add-ons to build & maintain.

Why must they buy what DSTV wants them to buy? With DSTV bleeding high paying subscribers, you would think that they would want to make it easy for the remaining subscribers to stay. By limiting devices, subscribers and potential subscribers may shy away. The same goes for other streaming services.

Imagine if Vodacom said that you could only use Samsung or iPhones to use its network? all other cell phones will not work.

I see your point..I would rather go the easy route than going through the hasslesame goes for NETFLIX and AMAZON PRIME

I have a Zidoo x9s which is a fantastic media player, but doesn't support DSTV, Showmax or Netflix. Which is a shame because it fully supports alternative sources like Cyberflix.

I have updated his plugin to fix the extra data error.
I have contacted Matt and he has checked out my changes and confirmed they are OK.
You will see he has updated his blog with the new version and checksum.

Cool thanks for your effort. Hope this lasts for a while now and if needed in future you can work on the addon again if necessary

 

[js9241698]

Yeh, I found the issue was that he had moved the Widevine files.
So the add-on would be OK if they had already been installed on first play.
Otherwise, you would get the data error.

@js9241698 we now seem to have a new error, both on windows and android platform. I hope you can possible help us. I have attached a screenshot of the error

 

[js9241698]

@enerdude

Working fine for me.
I did get same error as you when using an invalid token.
So, you probably just need to logout and login again to fix.

I have also just uploaded a new 0.9.2 version of the add-on.
I have edited my other post to point to the new version.
This will give you a better error message when it can't play.

Thanks,

Jeremey
