Yes got it on one of my android boxes. Funny thing is I get the 'playback failed, check log' from the main iptv simple client interface where you browse the channels but if I reboot the box into kodi, press 'e' for the EPG and start a channel from there it works 99% of the time.Anyone else see this error?

Is it working on the website? Usually means your ip is blocked. Listed as a vpn or proxy

Website also fail, same url.
Then it must be both my ipv4 and ipv6 ips. Because it happens she I have ipv6 enabled and disabled.
Not using proxies and I am in Cape Town so shouldn't need a proxy.
Strange

Disney+ site loads, but not subbing to see if everything load.
Ah well, was just watching the bulls playing bad rugby. Nothing lost. I don't watch anything else on dstv.
Thanks for the questions.
Yeah looks like geocomply went on a subnet banning episode again. They do that every 2 months.
Ban a bunch of consumer ips and list them as proxies or vpn ips and then dstv access is blocked. You get 403 forbidden errors.

For what its worth I setup my android box's kodi from scratch since I use Kodi only for dstv and now it works fine again. Could be a coincidence I guess.
How would a user recover from this?

I assume log a request via isp or dstv and get them to work on it with the geo provider
ISP needs to log a ticket with geocomply to whitelist.
So this happens because pirate iptv companies or whatever you want to call them pay consumers to host software they use to pull the streams from.
Interestingly a bunch of iptv service's dstv channels stopped working around the same time people started complaining about 403 forbidden errors.

ok so my ISP didn't know who to contact sadly.
However, today it looks like streaming is working again. I guess enough people complained to DSTV to make a plan.

Yeah same problem this side - also on android. Tried windows and same error there as well
Edit: there is an issue open on github - lets see what happen:
DSTV Now - Live Channels not working · Issue #1054 · matthuisman/slyguy.addons
Live TV channels are not currently playing on the DSTV Now add on for Kodi. VOD streams (movies and TV shows) work fine, but live streams fail to open and display an error. See the image below for ...

What the hell is going on with DSTV's tvguide lately? It's been lke this for probably 2 weeks.
Both https://supersport.com/tv-guide and https://www.dstv.com/en-za/explore/tv-guide/ are missing sports channels; and this not pulling into kodi.

Would I also like to know...
Kodi parses DStv.com TV guide so that is why it is also incomplete
It's a wide problem, hasn't been working properly with online guide and some older decoders either for weeks now.
Beyond belief useless
