I managed to get logs. Just copied a portion of it as I tried opening a channel a few times. Any thoughts?
Device is Nvidia Shield Pro.

I'm not getting 4k in kodi addon anymore

Think we have all been conned by multi choice; might have misread on their website but it looks like it’s been disabled except on the new decoder/streama thing

216 ia the only one that gives the option to stream in 4k

I had to reload the addon after a computer crash. How do I load the multichoice login details please

Open the addon and click on login ... a code will desiplay on the screen.

Go to https://now.dstv.com in a browser and sign in ... then go to https://now.dstv.com/tv and fill in the code from the addon and click on "sign in on tv" ... woop woop, done.

Is your 4k stream working ok in Dstv app? I’m on a 50mb line and it buffers/stops every minute now during the World Cup games…

i am on a 25mb line

had channel 216 the 4k stream running
my laptop playing the soccer as well
was updating my xbox

all at the same time
whilst playing on my phone

and no buffering

so must be your line or something

i have a 100mb line but sometimes it goes to 480p but never buffers

Is giving you the option to stream in 4K? The most I have gotten is hd resolution for WC channels on 216 but H.265 instead of H.264

Bleak. But happy for you.

I’ll try run it on my MiBox instead and see if that helps… running on Samsung Smart Tv at the moment.

My fibre works perfectly for anything else. Can stream two 4k Netflix streams easily at the same time.

 

[MickyP]

Update: tried both Kodi and MiBox…

Kodi isn’t offering the 4k stream as mentioned above.

MiBox 4k stream works perfectly through DStv app. So must be a memory issue on the Samsung Tv I’m assuming?

Yeah, not getting the 4K option via Kodi on my side either....refuse to use the DSTV, so I guess I'll continue without 4K then, thanks a lot Multichoice.

 

[Jongi]

All good my side ?

how do you get the info at the bottom on this skin?

 

[Dimpie (JIGSAW)]

Install the Aeon Nox Silvo skin ... that bottom info then shows automatically when you click mouse or press enter or a button on remote.

Gone my side also.

 

[sand_man]

Not working for me via Rain 5G. Weird. Like traffic on a certain port is being blocked on Rain. Same setup on different network runs fine...

 

[leonb]

Its a pity the current addon version is not working with newer dstv accounts. And it doesn't look like an update is planned soon. So this then is the end of kodi as the main media box for me.

Too much of a hassle to switch between different devices.
