Additional context I've uninstalled the addon, installed again. deleted credentials, entered again multiple times. Tried the credentials in the browser, but keep getting this message. Somehow it's not reading the credential file it seems.

Same here. I tried going to "MyList" in the plugin and immediately got an error. Seems like an authentication error. Running LibreElec 11.0.6 (Kodi 20.3.0), Plugin 0.4.11.

Looks like API has changed. TV guide (addon or IPTVmanager) no longer working on Nexus/Omega and Android/windows systems. Selected search of a program is working on android (after relogin on their website, android app was updated on 31/5/2024).

Maybe you could find some info on https://github.com/retrospect-addon/plugin.video.retrospect/issues/1809 or https://github.com/retrospect-addon/plugin.video.retrospect/commit/4d6264455182f3c9db2642b11179abba6904ac19 ?

The restrospect add-on is an alternative but not really a true replacement for the actual GoPlay app. Some streams are missing, the bitstreams seems to be lower and I also couldn't find back my favourite list(s). So, workaround yes, but longterm solution maybe. I sure hope someone will still take a look at the issues on this app (GoPlay) causing it no longer to work. In the past Michael already hinted that he would no longer support this app. Maybe someone else can pick up the torch?

Would be great if somebody with coding knowledge and some free time could assist/take over this app from @michaelarnauts This app has always been working like a charm and replacing our tv-subscription :-)

@mediaminister I believe you already helped out in the past to "fix" the GoPlay plug-in. Would you be willing to have a look?

Aug 01 '24 09:08 PeterCloet

@michaelarnauts As the new TV season is gearing up... could you please have a look at getting this plug-in working again?

Aug 27 '24 09:08 PeterCloet

I'm affraid it's looking grim for the future of this plug-in at the moment. Maybe if @michaelarnauts could make an announcement on the frontpage of the github to ask for assistance to take over his role on this great project. Would be very much appreciated, I understand that as life goes on thing changes. But it would be a shame to let his great work go extinct because no one can/wants to take over his role :-(

I think the time where our Flemish TV Add-ons worked nicely have passed. Content providers have more strict DRM requirements nowdays, and those aren't supported in Kodi.

See https://github.com/add-ons/plugin.video.viervijfzes/pull/129 for example, but also https://github.com/add-ons/plugin.video.tvvlaanderen/issues/63. The VTM Go addon also had issues with some programs IIRC.

Those add-ons also originated from a time when the Chromecast with Google TV didn't exist yet, and there was no way to watch TV comfortably with a remote without having an expensive Telenet/Proximus TV subscription. By now, every channel has an Android TV app that work better then how it worked in Kodi before, and is free of charge.

It has been fun, but I'm afraid this is where it will end...

I've also allready made that reflexion. In fact since the latest VTM Go addon issue. Kodi served me personally well but it is time to look into other streaming solutions. Looking into mini pc or such to watch VRT, Go Play & VTM via browser over tv or get me an Google Chromecast or get me an Android box.

Things evolve. Thanks for all your good work @michaelarnauts, gave me years of pleasure.

Thanks for chiming in, unfortunately we have an LG tv which doesn't support the GoPlay addon natively. For us Kodi was the on-stop shop for watching TV or movies. But I get the point you are making @michaelarnauts, I guess it's time for me to look for an alternative solution for watching TV. As having an alternative solution for just one add-on wouldn't pass the WAF ;-).

Thanks for all your time on this add-on, you will be remembered :-)

Since yesterday there is a working version again: https://github.com/add-ons/plugin.video.goplay
