On a fresh libreelec installation, I am unable to access the official addon repository. Other repositories (e.g. libreelec) work.
Relevant logs:

Code:


2024-03-28 23:53:17.755 T:973     error <general>: CCurlFile::CReadState::FillBuffer - (0xee563680) Failed: Couldn't connect to server(7)

Note that when I ssh into the machine and curl the same url but with https (https://mirrors.kodi.tv/addons/nexus/add....gz?sha256) it works:

Code:


# curl http://mirrors.kodi.tv/addons/nexus/addo....gz?sha256
curl: (7) Failed to connect to mirrors.kodi.tv port 80 after 172 ms: Couldn't connect to server

I have this exact same problem, please help

[DarrenHill]

A trial fix is in place now.
Please try again, although as mirrors are involved it might take a while to roll out.

Seems to be reachable again for me, thanks.

Thread marked solved.

Sorry to re-open this, but I'm having same problem.

Fresh Kodi installation part of Batocera. Kodi is 20.2.0. On a raspberry4.

Cannot connect to repository (when trying to install from repository). Also I don't get "Get More" button when trying to change Skin.

If I do a curl or wget from the machine there's no problem I can download the .gz file. Kodi says it's connected to the internet and the connection on the machine works (Batocera, terminal etc.), apart from this problem in Kodi.

@opoloko can you show the output of curl -vvvLo /dev/null http://mirrors.kodi.tv/addons/nexus/addons.xml.gz

[opoloko]

curl -vvvLo /dev/null http://mirrors.kodi.tv/addons/nexus/addons.xml.gz

Sure, here it is https://paste.kodi.tv/raw/pamegipuhi

In Kodi System Information, it says it is connected to the internet.

Thank you for the quick reply!

[opoloko]

I should add that Kodi is connected also because it can retrieve information (images etc.) about my music library files.

Also, trying to add manually the mirror I get (cologne) as a source and then installing from zip, it works, so the problem must be somehow it tries to get the mirror (curl 28 is timeout but only in Kodi as it works from terminal...).

I would not mind installing from zip directly from one of the mirrors, but manually installing every single time all dependencies makes it impossible...

[opoloko]

I solved, somehow, restarting my wifi router (!).

[yol]

Can't really tell you what went wrong there... Since it worked from curl, I guess something in your router must have reacted to the specific header options that kodi sets (in contrast to curl). Or you were, by chance, getting a different mirror from within Kodi that you were not able to reach. Still pretty weird.

[yol]

If it happens again, if I'm not mistaken there is an option within kodi to enable libcurl debugging which might give us more info.

[opoloko]

Thanks, I'll look for it!
