Linux XBMC 12.3 Curl Errors on Library Update
#1
So at some point over the past week, without changing anything on the system to my knowledge, library updates began to fail. ANyone know what could be the issue? I am running the latest build for my OS (Fedora 19).

I can actually use curl via the command line to download the URL in the logs below:

Code:
[localhost temp]$ curl -O http://thetvdb.com/api/1D62F2F90030C444/series/259372/all/en.zip

Anyone out there have any idea why this might happen?

It's rather annoying, the sudden inability to update any shows / movies.

Thanks.

try downgrading or upgrading curl. Might be the well know curl bug introduced in one version and fixed in the next.

I'm also seeing these errors on a Windows install - since the Jan 8th update to cURL to 7.4

Has anyone had success in fixing this issue ?

So I've tried downgrading curl, libcurl and python-curl to no avail. I was going to update the whole thing to Ubuntu 14.04 in a few weeks, but in the mean time this is rather annoying.

I'd like to get this sorted, even if it's just for posterity...

I also have to add that no updates were done to the system outside of addon updates that are automatic. I have tried removing and reinstalling most of the updates I have. Doesn't seem to solve it either.

this error is very generic:
CURLE_RECV_ERROR (56): Failure with receiving network data.
