KODI 18.8 and VLC no longer working? MACBOOK PRO

[diode]

Any idea when the protocols that were changed will go back or be fixed so that we can use KODI and VLC? Other apps seem to work OK like GSE Smart IPTV. Any help would be appriciated.

I have sent in an email to administration asking about all this. I have not got a reply yet.

I have the issues with kodi but i am streaming on VLC with the same M3U of my kodi box and its working just fine. I really hope they can get the issue with kodi fixed.

Thanks for your response Bkman2020! VLC does most m3u list just fine.... at least on my MACBOOK. I'll have to try some other platforms with VLC. KODI is dead in the water for this provider right now. I hope they fix it soon.

Thanks pendlet! I did find a few channels that would work on VLC and also playlistloader. I believe that our host here just provides the inks for us.... Keeping my fingers crossed.

The issue is not actually with KODI but with Cloudflare, the DNS that resolves the links for streams from this provider. While the streams will not play from the Simple Client PVR, they will play from the Playlist Loader. The downside of the Playlist Loader (and VLC) is no EPG support which renders it useless for a large playlist IMO. The Cloudflare issue has been addressed with their support team and they say that a fix "is imminent". Until that happens, I find that TiviMate from the Google Play Store works fine with all playlists and might just be the best player for IPTV out there; it's highly customizable and out of the box will let you assign 2 EPG sources. I have playlists from 2 subs that won't currently play in KODI and 1 that does. I personally just prefer to use KODI as my media center of choice as I like the library aspect of it and interaction with Trakt.tv and a couple of addons.

Shouldn't be too long before KODI's PVR can once again stream all playlists.

Cheers.

Thanks expatter, I had read about the cloudfare problem. I hope they get it fixed soon. By the way, my playlist loader does not work either.

It is odd that some things work on some systems and not others but that's just the way it is. I just added the m3u to the Playlist Loader (version 1.2.0) and it worked for me, just took a while to load and then stream. The Kodi for Android version 18.8 that Shooty posted fixed the problem for me. I use a Skystream III Plus Android Box.

I go back and forth from Kodi and TiviMate but really prefer Kodi as a Total Media Center.
