Kodi 20 Nexus: Won't play Transcoded Resolutions + Error playing video with special characters

[andreus1610]

By setting the stream formats other than Original (or by enabling the "Always ask for the stream format before play" option), the videos are still played only in the original quality. it's the same issue that was reported in post #253 with Kodi 19 before Google Drive Add-on was updated to 1.4.11 kodi-issue-transcoded-stream-format.log

Also, if I play a video (with stream other than original) and the name of the video containing a special character or an accent , an error is displayed and the video does not play. (I am attaching a screenshot and debug log) kodi-error-accents.log

it's the same issue that was reported in post #261 The solution reported by a user is replace the following string at "resources/lib/addon.py" response_params = dict(urllib.parse.parse_qsl(response_text)) with response_params = dict(urllib.parse.parse_qsl(response_text.decode(' ASCII')))

It might work.

Thansk!

Hi Carlos, I noticed that the same issues are now also present in Kodi 19 Matrix after the automatic update to the official repository.
