pvr.stalker not loading stalker portal

Hi,

I upgraded to the latest Kodi release 16.0 Alpha 4 and compiled this addon and it wouldn't connect to any of the stalker portals that I use.

pvr.stalker.master.error.kodi16.txt

After I reverted the "dropped http redirect. protocol options for http(s) stream urls only" commit face067 the addon would connect to the portals I use again.

Thanks.

That was an intended change done in that commit. Before the add-on would try to follow redirects by parsing the html in the initial http response. This always felt 'wrong' to me since there are many ways a redirect can occur in html, and it's just not practical to do so in the case of this add-on. Also, only the first redirect was considered. I think it's best that the full url be entered by the user in the settings dialog.

So, for example if you used to enter 'server.example.com' you may now need to enter 'server.example.com/stalker_portal/c/'.

The simplest way to get the final/full url of your portal is to enter it into a web browser and copy the new address from the address bar.

Hi,

Thanks for the explanation.

I have been using the add-on for a while now and it's working great. Thanks.
