Hi,

I just uninstalled V16, removed everything for it and installed V17 fresh. With this fresh install loaded up I tried to access the built in Kodi Add-on's repository but I get an error in Kodi saying "Could not connect to repository."

Here is the snipit from my log file.

Code:

22:50:32.654 T:8320   DEBUG: CGUIMediaWindow::GetDirectory (addons://repos/)

If I cut and paste http://mirrors.kodi.tv/addons/krypton/addons.xml.gz.md5 into Chrome or IE the URL loads just fine. I can browse the repository in those browsers just fine as well.

I had this problem with my own repo last week. I had to add an extra empty line in the MD5 file to get it to work. But next time I updated the repo I didn't add the extra empty line and it worked fine again. So this, unfortunately, was my really long way of saying ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You didn't mention if the Kodi version from the windows store or from the link upper left? Snippets of logs are frowned upon, complete log (wiki) with debug turned on gets the eyes.

Thanks for the information. Here is my log file of a fresh startup, up to the error and then closing the app.

MOD EDIT: do not copy paste complete logs in the forum, just the pastebin please.

This Windows install was from the link in the top left.

Here is the link to my debug log.

Where is the MD5 file that you added the extra line too?

So I have determined my problem, or rather found another thread that gave me an idea and it turned out to be the right fix. (http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=298504)

I have a VPN running and while the VPN is active I get the Error 503. When I turn the VPN off I no longer get the error.

Why doesn't Kodi work to access the repo from while my firewall is active but accessing the repo through Google Chrome works just fine while my firewall is active?

If you are accessing the internet through a VPN, it is possible we blocked that specific VPN endpoint on the server because it was misusing our infrastructure.
It's also possible you set something up wrong on your side. Hard to say with this little data.
