4k streams crashing with libvlc on Android TV

[Camzilla78]

4k streams play fine for a little with exo on android tv latest version, tries to switch to libvlc then crashes to homescreen on easynews +. Same file plays the entire way through with original easynews addon. Happens with every stream I've tried

Could be related to #23 (i.e. by letting the addon follow the Location header to the inner stream).

Sorry I didn't see this til now but thx for the response. I'm assuming it's an addon issue then I was starting to believe it was an apk issue? Gdrive does the exact same thing but both work fine on mobile that's the confusing thing.

It's a bit of both. We follow the addon SDK spec and return streamable links in a manner that should be supported by all Stremio players. But from What I understand it turns out Stremio for android TV in particular fails to handle them well for some reason. The issue can be fixed by either modifying this addon to handle streams a bit differently (linked issue) or by the Stremio team (android TV bug).
