Yelo Play not working on Kodi abroad #20
Comments
It is still working fine for me. Could this be related to #16 ? |
Hello, Best regards, J. |
Hello, thanks for the fast updates, much appreciated. Thanks! J. |
@Jolle99 We have this documented for the VRT NU add-on here: |
Hello Dag, J. |
Exactly the same problem as Jolle99 here, got the "Check credentials" message with v0.0.9, update from the master to v1.0.0 and now only have the 2 dots, no channel list... this is on a RPi 4 running LibreElec with Kodi 18.6. EDIT
The only way to resolve this is to somehow generate a g-captcha-response... Frank. |
On my Nvidia Shield box - Kodi 18.6, the Yelo v1.0.0. worked yesterday evening. It did NOT work on my Mac, Kodi 18.7 and Yelo v1.0.0. Didn't have time yet to test is on my Xiaomi Box. |
I updated to Kodi v18.7 (LibreELEC v9.2.3) on my RPi and Yelo is still working as before. I noticed that the Yelo add-on stores a |
Tried again, Yelo only works on Nvidia Shield, not working on Mac, not working on Xiaomi. All three with Yelo v1.0.0 (installed add-on via zip-file). Removed data.json on Mac add-on, but still same error after retrying. New data.json file is showing, but still not possible to log in. I can send the log file via email if required. |
Well, I've been investigating a little more... |
I rebooted my (working) Nvidia before reading Fripsy's update and Yelo still seems to be working. |
Hmm, there goes my theory.... |
I have another idea... |
I'm not in Belgium either, but have a VPN running. |
Aha, will try that... Stay tuned... |
I have just enabled VPN on Mac and Xiaomi, I don't get the wrong credentials message, but it just shows the cursor turning and turning... |
Success !!! |
Got it working on LibreElec now! |
Final conclusion:If you get the 2 dots instead of the channel list, Kodi can not login at yeloplay. |
That's not the case for me. With VPN it works on Nvidia, but not on Mac nor Xiaomi. All three with the latest Yelo version v1.0.0, Kodi 18.6 and 18.7 tested. |
My vpn only allows 1 connection at the time, perhaps yours does too? |
I have not looked into this myself, but various content providers forbid the use of their services in their Terms of Use outside of a specific region where they have licensed the content. IIANM the EU mandates services to remain working within the EU, so this is mostly a problem outside of the EU. A violation of the Terms of Use is a personal and wilful act. |
@dagwieers Yes this is true, however I'm in France and, although they are bit... french, it is still a part of Europe... |
@fripsy I did not want to go into individual cases. My remark was mostly intended for readers passing by . |
@fripsy |
@timtilburgs
As I mentioned, I write this from memory, so it could be a little off, but that is basically the setup. Cheers. |
I just tried with Express VPN connected to US and France. When connected to France I do not experience any issues trying to watch the channel, so no reCaptCha.. In the US on the other hand I get the "You can only watch TV via tv-app in the EU. Is this only with specific channels? |
Indeed, this is only with specific channels, some channels work from within the EU without a vpn, for other a Belgian vpn is needed. I guess this has to do with the rights Telenet has for diffusing the station. |
Yes you are right, but some of the later code changes has broken the message box showing you the reason why it couldn't play the stream. (Will fix in later release) Example: https://imgur.com/iclaCXu |
The url
The request
The response
The return status is also 403, the way it is coded now, it will always try to register the device instead of raising an error, my bad. |
Just want to add something to this for people also having the issue that the addon says "check your credentials". |
Hi peno64 |
@Inloggedoe |
I have a separate router as well with Nordvpn on it, but it’s still on its way as some luggage was delayed. I hope to see it in a few weeks and will definitely test this out. However what would be the difference with a vpn on a router and a vpn on the firestick for telenet? |
Well but I don't mean that the router uses a vpn like nordvpn because then you will have the same problem. I mean that the router is a vpn provider to your own network. So from abroad you connect to the vpn of the router and then your abroad computer thinks and acts as he is at home. The internet will then also be as if it is connected to the telenet internet and not the one from abroad. |
Hi
I am not that tech savvy to fully understand what you mean with your answer.
I can install a router in Belgium with a VPN on it, but how do I connect
from abroad to that specific router? (But probably this is not what you
wanted to explain me)
But another option I guess, and for me probably easier, is to buy a
dedicated EU IP with NordVPN and than use that one on the firestick.
Or you think Telenet will block this as well?
Thanks anyway.

With nordvpn running on your router you will not accomplish this.

Hi, I've been trying to use the addon these past weeks in the EU where you should be able to logon and watch. Isn't a problem usually but I do get a "login failed"; my guess is due to a pesky Captcha you have to fill in to authenticate. I don't think you get that problem in Belgium. I tried a VPN connection but the captcha still appears when trying to logon through the app - and therefore I guess also in Kodi. In any case - it fails. Is there a workaround for captchas? Thanks in advance! |
@Inloggedoe On my router I have dd-wrt, an open source firmware which replaces the router firmware. It has alot more functionalities than standard router firmware and one of them is to setup your router as a vpn. See following printscreen: replace at the bottom user with a login name and password with a password. And then you can connect to this vpn and it is as if you are at home. |
Hi,
I have the same setup on one of my old routers (NordVPN installed with
ddwrt), but that router is still somewhere on the worlds oceans, hopefully
will arrive soon and then I can try it.
So, according to you that might work, even if the router is here in Africa?
(It did for TV Vlaanderen when we were out of the EU and wanted to use the
internet facilities, like recording and see program info) but as we now are
in a different country where TV Vlaanderen doesn’t reach the yelo app for
Kodi would be a good alternative, if I manage to get it working. (Strangely
it did for a few days in August, since then I get the message to check my
login... although on IOS all still works as before, only on the firestick I
get the error)
Let’s hope for the best.
Will keep you posted

I have NordVPN and when connected to that VPN, the telenet logon fails,
even if I connect to a Belgium VPN. So telenet sees this also.

replace at the bottom user with a login name and password with a password.
And then you can connect to this vpn and it is as if you are at home.

The router has to be in Belgium connected to a telenet internet connection... |
Hi
Thanks a lot for your reply and knowledge!
That’s what I actually thought as well, and then to work with dyndns I
suppose to get connected from here to my official home in Belgium (as this
is what I do to see the cctv from abroad).
Have to check my upload speed with Telenet then as the vpn will bring that
speed down as otherwise I will still not be able to see fluently from here.
Am wondering though if a static and dedicated IP (which I can buy from
NordVPN) in Holland would work, any idea on this?
Otherwise I will have to buy an Apple TV to stream from the iPad or a new
TV with Apple airplay2, but doubt that would be available here in the local
market...

So a dedicated private vpn server would be the only solution? Seems a bit overkill for a captcha? @dagwieers , @fripsy , @shycoderX , thanks for a great addon that kept on working until recently - is there really no other way? |
call it a work-around instead of a solution |
The strange thing is that I can logon and load all the channels; so I actually think I get past the captcha; but when I try to start a channel I get an error. In the log report that translates to:

I've not followed this topic for a while, but I can confirm one of the above statements. |
Hi Jolle99
Good to see your work around actually works!
So may I ask you how you made the
‘VPN connection to my Telenet router in Belgium’
As, because of Covid, we will not return to Belgium very soon, I was
wondering the correct way to achieve this.
1/ Does the original Telenet router work with a vpn, so can you put
openvpn/NordVPN/... easily on that router or did you connect a separate
router with vpn on it to the Telenet one?
2/ Did you know how to do the whole procedure yourself (I suppose you have
to work with a dynamic dns or not?) or did you use a certain website with
all the explanation ‘how to’. Please share if it’s the latter.
Thanks!

I'm outside the EU and I couldn't login to the Yelo add-on (check
credentials error), although I was on a ExpressVPN connection with a
Belgian IP.
However, I now have a VPN connection to my Telenet router in Belgium (via
OpenVPN) and then I can login on the Yelo add on with Kodi, so the captcha
check is passed when you have a Telenet IP it seems.

Not sure if this is the right topic for that but I have a Raspberry PI connected to the Telenet router and run a VPN on that device. Configuration can be done with this process (it's Dutch but there must be English versions online as well): |
@Jolle99 Is indeed also a possibility. Has the same effect as having a vpn on the router as I described. |
@Inloggedoe It is for sure not possible to put a vpn on the telenet router itself. We are not allowed to change much settings of the telenet router and this via the telenet webpages. I use a separate router next to the telenet router. In fact I use that router only to provide me internet and connect it to the digibox (because telenet only allows a direct internet connection to the digibox from their router and not from an own router after telenets router. All my other internet connections, also wifi I all do via my own router. |
@peno64
So, as a resume you have done following:
- ddwrt on own router
- add NordVPN credentials to it
- added dynamic dns (
https://www.howtogeek.com/66438/how-to-easily-access-your-home-network-from-anywhere-with-ddns/)
to the ddwrt setup
- connect it to Telenet router
-> done: access from everywhere to your home network
Correct?

@Inloggedoe No totally

Ok, got it! Thanks a lot for the whole explanation.
Unfortunately it will take a while before I’m back in Belgium due to the
Covid restrictions before I can set it up at my own house.
Hopefully the current Kodi add on might be working again before ;)
If not, I definitely try this work around!
Cheers

- ddwrt on the router and configure ddwrt that itself acts as a vpn
and indded added a dynamic dns.
No other vpn service involved because then it will not work. the addon
must see telenet and that is done via the vpn on the router, not via a 3rd
party vpn which connects to another kond of internet.

I think the biggest problem will be that yelo will not be there anymore for a long time. |
Than it will be streaming from iPhone/iPad through Apple TV or Airplay 2...
or a hdmi from laptop to tv or a new Kodi addon!

The new telenet digiboxes use another system *and* another app for which
even no kodi addon doesn't exist yet...

Where has that been announced? I'd love to have an AppleTV/AndroidTV app for Yelo. Although the Kodi add-on is a great alternative for now. |
Is niet niet echt aangekondigd maar zoals je oa op https://www2.telenet.be/nl/klantenservice/yelo-app-downloaden/ kan zien is er nu naast de yelo app ook een telenet tv app en deze is enkel voor de laatste digicorders. Telenet kennende zullen ze dus die oude yelo app niet all te lang meer onderhouden en de vraag is dan maar als de nieuw tv app dan ook nog de oude digicoders zal supporteren. Nu in ieder geval niet. Je kan niet met uw yelo login inloggen op de nieuwe tv app en omgekeerd. En als de yelo app verdwijnt zal ook de kodi addon niet meer werken... |
Hello, since yesterday the Yelo Play app doesn't work anymore on Kodi 18.6.
It just keeps loading it seems. Same issue on Kodi 18.6 on different devices (Macbook, Nvidia Shield and Xiaomi box).
Sometimes (not always) it complains about wrong credentials, but I'm sure that the credentials are correct as I used them on a browser as well. In the browser, it also asks for a "are you not a robot" check, maybe that's causing the issue on Kodi now?
Could you look into this please?
