Fails to play for more than a few seconds

[FransUrbo]

Description:

I've been trying to get Plex4Kodi to work on my RaspberryPI3 the whole day, but no matter what I do, I can't get it to play more than a few seconds, a minute at the most.

Sometimes, I get

I've tried almost every combination of Local Quality, Allow Direct Play and Allow Direct Stream without any major difference between them.

My server (v1.13.9.5456-ecd600442 - not very latest, but all other clients work just fine - web browser, Android, iOS and an old/ancient Samsung SmartTV in another country!) only say that the remote end (i.e. the RPi) closed the connection.

The RPi and the server are on the same network (via Cat6 and two high quality - Cisco - switches). My laptop, with Plex in the browser is connected on a different network, via a cheap WiFi router and then one of the Ciscos have no problem to play, so I'm certain the network is fine.. ?

I have plenty of logs, but they contain VERY sensitive information (among it, my token in clear text as well as addresses to my friends servers). I can provide them on private email if needed. If sanitised logs is fine, I can do that as well.

I can even give remote access to the RPi for debugging and development if requested.

Details:

• Add-on version: Tried released (via the Kodi Add-on installer), master as well as develop.
• Kodi version: 17.6
• OS Platform: Linux/4.14.78-4-osmc (debian 9.7)
• Hardware: Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Rev 1.2
