There is another addon in development
kpl-addons/plugin.video.odysee#3

It looks like you are working on the same thing.
Maybe you can colaborate?

Odysee addon development is far behind LBRY. There are no settings available to use local server, no possibility for subscription even locally. I tried it in hope to resolve no videos playing in LBRY, but using local server resolved it. Anyway, credits to Odysee developer.
It would be better if both developers could joint their forces to improve LBRY addon which needs to add login sync and live videos. Credits to @accumulator so far because LBRY is a safe heaven for freedom.

great, thank you. Could you please add to the plugin description LBRY and Odysee or something like that. Because when I searched I was confused.

@karlo2105:
Hi there, i also have the problem with the public server that not all videos play. Could you please give me a hint on what i have to install to run a local lbry server? I am into linux, just not into lbry ;) I just need a starting point, if you could give me a direction it would be very great.
Thanks and greets!

1. Install LBRY for your operating system from here : https://lbry.com/get?showall=1
2. Launch it and let it running in background after closing.
3. In LBRY addon, replace public server by http://localhost:5279 It will load faster and all videos shall play.

You won't have anymore to launch lbry app as local server will be running in background as long as you don't stop it.
Subscription is currently supported in local only.

Wow, thanks a lot mate! That sounds very good. Trying it out now ;) Thanks for your help.

Uhm, i am running the plugin/kodi on a Raspberry Pi 64bit ARM. And unfortunately this architecture is not supported/precompiled by lbry. I am currently trying to build lbry-desktop on my own for arm64, but, is lbry-desktop really required? Or is there just an other (maybe smaller) package to just run that daemon? I searched docker for images, but there is so much, might be only lbry-sdk or lbrynet? What package provides that daemon needed?
Thanks for any hint.

Try with : https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-sdk

Really thanks a lot! Also had to compile it myself, but that worked without any problems. After running "lbrynet start" and changing the plugins url to http://localhost:5279 i can play all videos again, very nice!
I think the hint with lbry-sdk should be placed it plugins description, or somewhere you cant miss it ;) especially because you seem to need it to play all videos. Thanks again for your help!
