problem with live channels
Hi, I'm using latest LibreELEC minimal OS for Kodi on rpi4, but had some problems with Live Channels in this plugin/addon for tv3cat (symptom: clicking live channels in the addon ui would just display an error in the top right saying to check log). Here is a log snippet:

I edited plugin.video.tv3.cat/resources/lib/tv3cat/TV3cat.py to add try/except around line 314 and following, and then the error changed:

so I just initialized like infotv3 = 'n/a' (and the other similar variables) before the blocks where they are set/used...
Here are all the changes I made that got live Catalan TV working for me:

Thanks very much for your work on this plugin/addon, it's really appreciated. If you would prefer, I can make a pull request with the above changes.
This fix no longer works.
I think TV3 have changed their streaming system, now the web-based player accesses separate playlists of sound and video fragments (each about 6 seconds long, with slightly different start times) that need to be downloaded and multiplexed somehow.
I'm in the UK, testing the international broadcast streams.
Hey, from the new website, I made a first iteration. https://github.com/mcr222/plugin.video.3cat/releases/tag/v1.0.0
I have not done live channels though if you wanna collaborate on that.
