2020 07 24 When trying to watch anything on SBS, a log in now seems to be needed.

I have tried a couple of times and not got it working.
(Not blaming you)
But their log in sequence is a bit ...... vague on what to type, so maybe it is me.
But this is a game changer for using it from my point of view.
Yes that is correct. It's a change on their end, not much we can do unforunately.
All you need to do is use the SBS website or mobile app to create an account, then once that's done and you've verified your email address with them use the same login/password in the Kodi add-on.
Let me know how you get on!
I am unable to login with the correct username/password. Successfully logged in on a browser on same Fedora32 Linux PC.
- kodi v18.9-1 from @rpmfusion-free-updates repo.
- SBS on demand v1.1.9_leia.
After user/pass get "Error getting stream info - please logout and login again".
Logout/login does not change things.
Let me know if you want a new issue created or some specific log data.
@webenhanced Had a look and can't reproduce here sorry.
You can get more info in your kodi log if you make a small edit here: https://github.com/aussieaddons/plugin.video.sbs/blob/master/resources/lib/comm.py#L485
Insert a line with utils.log(str(vs_data)) and make sure it's at the same indentation as the other utils.log line. Recreate the error and check your kodi.log for what SBS API has returned. I decided not to add this log in case any personal info is returned but you can check for yourself.
I've had this error when using an account that wasn't email verified. It works for a few weeks or so then ends up with this error. No idea though about how other account errors would come about so I'm interested to see what you come up with.
btw with any edits like this you will need to exit the addon and re-enter to trigger a new interpreter instance in order for the changes to take effect.
