Hi,

This is an issue I can confirm, and IMO it's not related to this addon nor InputStream.

I think (but may be wrong) it's related to some patches in Kodi for Raspberry, as I never could reproduce the issue under Windows, nor LibreELEC for x86.

But I had the same issue with OSMC and Kodi 18.2.

For now, the only way I could fix it was to revert to LE 9.0.1.
LE 9.2.0 beta has the same issue, no need to try ^^

I'll gonna investigate on LibreELEC forums/IRC and keep you in touch.

After Updating the InputStream Helper to version 0.3.5 & updated the Widevine
The issue was fixed.
Thank You.

That's good to know. Thanks!

Well, I have no idea why after upgrading it's necessary to install Widevine again. I confirm it fixes the issue.

My test process:

• force install of Widevine on LE 9.0.1 (this should be the last version). Resume working.

• upgrade to LE 9.0.2 (Widevine should still be latest). Resume not working.

• force Widevine install again. Resume working.
