Open Connect CDN

To be used with caution. This parameter allows you to select a CDN server for streaming. It may help in some cases of stream instability, causing video interruptions or the failure to play some videos.

Then, use only if:

• You have streaming errors in log like this:

CCurlFile::FillBuffer - Failed: Timeout was reached(x)
CCurlFile::Open failed with code 0 for https://ipv4....
CVideoPlayer::OpenInputStream - error opening

• You have ISP network issue

Therefore the CDN Server 1 is the default choice, try to change only for the problems described above.

Enable IPC over HTTP

The IPC allows the communication between different processes of the add-on, not to be confused with internet communication. By default IPC communication is done by using the AddonSignals plugin.

In some cases the use of this plugin by many add-ons could cause timeout problems, so you can activate the IPC over HTTP to exclude IPC over AddonSignals.

• Try request/do a firmware update of device to the manufacturer

When you enable this option:

• If you can play videos, you can only see them only at SD quality.
