slyguy.addons Featured sports streams stop playing during ad breaks

Hi Matt,

Long time fan of your plugins! Thanks for all that you do :)

As you may be aware, TVNZ currently has the broadcast rights for NZ cricket. When there's a live game, it is streamed on Duke which is streamed in 720p. This stream works fine, albeit lower quality.

They also have a popup stream which can be found in 'Sport' -> 'Live & Upcoming Sport' where you'll find a full 1080p livestream of the cricket. Unfortunately when I pick this stream, it stops playing whenever there is an ad break.

Version information:

TVNZ+: 0.22.1 Slyguy Common: 0.85.52 Slyguy Dependencies: 0.0.22 Inputstream Adaptive: 21.5.7

Environment:

Android TV 11.0.0 (arm64) Kodi: 21.1.0

Thanks! :)

issue with inputstream adaptive that is used for playback i suspect. Pretty known issue that it doesnt support sever side ad injection very well If its an HLS stream, you could try turn off "use inpustream adaptive for hls" in the addon playback settings

Thanks Matt. I gave that setting a go, to no avail unfortunately. I can always use the native TVNZ app, but it sucks compared to yours :)
