disable Inputstream Adaptive prompt

[blahblahblug]

Is there any way to disable the prompt to install Inputstream Adaptive? Cumination now prompts to install Inputstream Adaptive when playing a video, it didn't before today. I tried it but found the video freezes after awhile with no way to back out, Forcing me to restart kodi. I disabled Inputstream Adaptive in 'system settings>addons>my addons>videoplayer inputstream' but I get the prompt to install it every time I play a video.

cumination v1.1.77
kodi v19.3
android 9

Every time on every video on every site? What site are you trying?

The dialog to install Inputstream Adaptive is from Inputstreamhelper.
Some sites need Inputstream Adaptive, and not every user knows how to install it, hence that it checks if it's installed.

It's possible to add in the settings an option to bypass IA for m3u8 streams.
But you have an outdated Kodi.
In 20.1 I haven't noticed any problems with playing m3u8 files...it even improved some streams.
So that would be a fix, until something else comes up that doesn't work properly because of an outdated Kodi.

Also, could you make a debug log when it happens that it hangs?

I've added the skip Inputstream Adaptive option: 03e01ec

I also experience this issue on a ShieldTV running kodi 20.1

inputstream adaptive is a lot snappier so I'll try to help debug if I can

on camsites sometimes it just drops randomly and with specific models it happens quicker, like the next segment just doesn't get into buffer or something
and sometimes when this happens it doesn't auto close video but hangs instead and only way out is to force close kodi, I experienced similar "hang" issues when accessing a site without disabling http2 previously

maybe it's SSL related and not playing well with AndroidTV or something?

log from an MFC model where inputstream adaptive always fails, works fine without inputstream adaptive:

I just tried MFC here on Kodi 20.1 on my laptop, and it works. Also on my Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra running 20.1, it works.

I notice that it picks a Nvidia codec, maybe that is the problem!?

[hehewtf]

model is DallasOhMy btw, just randomly clicked a few to find one where it just doesn't load segments and buffer stops

edit:
loaded up her stream on both phone and Shield at the same time, they both cut out at exactly the same time

then I disabled IA on shield and loaded them both up again side by side

kodi crashed on phone when IA stopped getting buffer: https://paste.kodi.tv/ecocowalan

Shield had zero interrupts and is still running the stream as I'm typing this

nvidia codecs, definitely not the root cause of the problem

[frankee123]

Came here to just say it froze while watching two different girls on chaturbate when I tried to close them out. Kodi froze and had to restart.

[ErosVece]

Weird, it's running fine here.

Anyway, for the people with problems, the option to bypass IA is added.
I'll reverse it, let m3u8 play without Inputstream Adaptive, and an option to enable it if you want it
MPD files will go through IA though.

any chance to only disable it for livestreams (cams)?
because it works flawlessly for plain videos, way better than before and I never had problems using IA with videos afaik

maybe that's too much extra work tho

[ErosVece]

Which plain videos, got an example?

Before this was changed, IA was only triggered with .mpd streams (and the Naked streams).
mpd isn't used by many sites in Cumination, if any....besides Hentaistream.

javguru cambro and possibly camwhoresbay, not sure if I tried others

but everything just loads up quicker, starts instantly when IA is enabled and less buffering time when skipping

maybe that's a problem here? in 1.1.77 everything became snappier so maybe IA was triggered on more places for me or something I dno

edit: cam livestreams start pretty much instantly too, if I disable IA in addon settings mfc for instance takes a long time to open up a stream

[ErosVece]

Yeah, I know. But a couple of people have problems with IA.
So for them it's with the latest commit now still the same.

But for us, we can now enable it in settings...and enjoy the snappier loading 🤣

yeah only livestreams having weird behavior with IA for me so if I'll watch videos I'll just enable it and disable it for livestreams moving forward 👍

Every time on every video on every site? What site are you trying?

The dialog to install Inputstream Adaptive is from Inputstreamhelper. Some sites need Inputstream Adaptive, and not every user knows how to install it, hence that it checks if it's installed.

It's possible to add in the settings an option to bypass IA for m3u8 streams. But you have an outdated Kodi. In 20.1 I haven't noticed any problems with playing m3u8 files...it even improved some streams. So that would be a fix, until something else comes up that doesn't work properly because of an outdated Kodi.

Also, could you make a debug log when it happens that it hangs?

Here is a debug log when it happened today. I had to force close kodi and relaunch it. I noticed the debug overlay also froze a bit after the video froze, after I tried to stop the video normally.

Do debug logs get overwritten on restarting kodi? Looking at the timecodes on that log don't seem right, it only spans 1 minute.

if you use kodi logfile uploader addon, go into settings and enable post old logfile, you'll get a second prompt after viewing the first(current) log to view/upload the second(previous run) log

don't know for sure if it's a fix but I changed InputStream Adaptive settings and I'm not getting crashes or freezes anymore

unchecked "Auto determines initial bandwidth" and set Initial bandwidth to something ridiculous like 48 megabits

everything else is default

myfreecams is for sure b0rked with IA tho, some models work but many just don't get updates to the buffer and just stop quickly, full cache just ticks down to 0% and stream stops
