Hi there

I'm using https://bintray.com to host my Kodi add-on PlexKodiConnect. Either Bintray or Kodi seem to have changed something - I get the Kodi 17.6 error "Could not connect to repository" and the following log files:

Code:

Weirdly enough, you can easily use curl or your browser to download e.g. https://dl.bintray.com/croneter/PlexKodi...ns.xml.md5

Any pointers as to what's going on here?

Many thanks

dl.bintray.com blocks the Kodi user agent.

 Thanks for this. Already moved the PKC repository to Github. How come bintray blocks Kodi - can't generate that much traffic?!?
