I made an installation on a new Google Chromecast device. When I open the VTM GO addon I have to make an authorisation via another device. Each time I get a notification "Login failed, check log file".
Installing VRT MAX was without any problem.

  • Google Chromecast 4K
  • Addon version: 1.4.4 matrix.1
  • Kodi version: V. 21.1
  • Operating System: Android

You should dowload the zip from the API-17 branch:

https://github.com/add-ons/plugin.video.vtm.go/tree/api-17

on the right, you see the tab "code". Click on it and download the zip. Use this zip to install vtm-go.

Solution works perfect on mediaplayer. Thank you very much therefore. However how can I solve the problem on my Google Chromecast, having no USB port ?

Connection problem solved by using a powered usb-c hub. No further actions needed on this issue. Thanks

Hi,

I am having the same authentication issue as above.
Addon version: 1.4.4 matrix.1
OS Kodi: LibreELEC 12.0.1 with Kodi (Omega) v21.1

I have this addon installed from the official Kodi Addon repository. When do you push the fixed version to the Kodi repo?
Thanks.

Same problem: VTM GO authenticitation on my 2 different TV-boxes, my satelite decoder, and my Windows 10 pc have not worked for about 2months now.
Installing the API-17 zip solved the problem on the W10 machine and 1 of the boxes.
I will try the rest later tonight but they run older Android systems so they might not meet the requirements anymore for dpg-media (VRT MAX still works on everything but VIER via Retro does not work anymore on the older boxes, neither does PLAY).

Hi,
Where can I download the API-17 zip? The link above doesn't work for me.
Even better if the new version could be published to the Kodi Addon repo, so it updates automatically.
Any help is appreciated.

You are right. I see that the branch was deleted two week ago: #388 @michaelarnauts Have you more information?

I'm sorry but I have removed that branch.

Apparently, that branch could be used to play VTM Go programs without advertisements. This is something I have always attempted to happen correctly. I'm not sure what has happened, I guess it's due to a changed API version or maybe we are using a wrong API key.

DPG Media has contacted me about this, and since I don't have the time to make the necessary changes so the Add-on works on the latest API version and plays the advertisements as required, I have removed that branch.

I think the only changes needed are the ones that DPG requested in #389, and a bump of the API version to the latest version.

If anyone has the skills and free time to investigate this, please go ahead and create a Merge Request.

Maybe @mediaminister is interested in picking this up? He recently revived the GoPlay add-on. ❤️

I'm really sorry for not keeping up with the dedication I once had for maintaining the Add-ons. I started these Add-ons when there where not alternatives like the Android TV app we have today. I am not using Kodi anymore for quite a while.

Thanks everyone for the support over the years!

I'm sorry, I currently have no spare time to work on something I don't even watch.

Maybe another time...

Doing what is requested in #389 is not enough. With the code in the deleted branch and this HEADER-adjustment, it not bring advertisements, as requested by DPG Media. To comply, a deeper dive is necessary.

Just curious: what do you use now (instead of Kodi)?

Thanks everyone for the support over the years!

Thank you for maintaining this add-on for all these years. Kodi & all those add-ons did make us NOT using cable for television - no need for me the cut the cable. ;-)

Probably, however I think there is a API key configured somewhere, and that has changed probably. I think this needs to be rolled back. DPG has made an API key for this add-on.

The LG WebOS app for VTM and VRT, and I still have a Chromecast with Google TV hooked up for GoPlay. If only Play Media would release a LG WebOs app...
