Broken Kodi 18.8.0 - Kodi fails to obtain images while scraping movies
#46
Oddly enough, on Win UWP kodi 18.8 it works as it should, on Android 9 kodi 18.8 picture scraping doesn't work, Sweden.

WInUWP doesn't have HTTP2 support.

The real fix is on TMBD side, they either should allow http2 without SSL, or either properly redirect such requests or deliver https urls from their API.

Exactly. The issue was already reported over there as well. We have to wait until they fix it...

Cant see that happening, they seem to be ignoring the issue from what I can see.....

Agreed. They acknowledge that unencrypted HHTP2 connections are broken, but express no intention to fix it. 
At least not from the current answer, that is simply suggesting a change on the client end.

If I do a manual curl on any TMDB artwork using --http2 or setting the headers manually I get the very same error: curl: (56) Recv failure: Connection reset by peer
With HTTP1.1 (default) it still works. Interestingly, HTTP2 over SSL also works. So this is very probably a server side issue.

There seems to be an option to disable HTTP2 in Kodi 19 (https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/16601), so you could try:
<advancedsettings>
  <network>
    <disablehttp2>true</disablehttp2>
  </network>
</advancedsettings>

But if you're using Kodi 18 (like me) you're out of luck, unless you want to recompile KODI without HTTP2 support.

I tried this with Kodi 19, did not work.

Still getting the same error here in Germany, since they asked at TMDB today.

For your Information, I will quote a post from Travis Bell (Staff Team of TMDb)
Quote:Cloudflare reported two issues within the last 24 hours:
  • A problem in LAX
  • A problem issuing new challenges (which could affect the image service)
Other than that I am not seeing any issues identified by our external monitoring, or our internal logging.
and
Quote:"...Sounds like an issue with Cloudflare's HTTP/2 then. I'll file a ticket and let you know when I hear back."

A workaround could be to use a proxy like nghttpx.

Or (not for the faint-hearted) you can comment out this line from xbmc/filesystem/CurlFile.cpp and recompile:
  g_curlInterface.easy_setopt(h, CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION, CURL_HTTP_VERSION_2_0);
Worked on my end...

my box doesn't have nghttpx, only nginx, and I have no idea how to use it (or even if it can be used to forward http2 as http1.1, or use it as both server and client).
seems like compiling from source might be easier  Tongue
thanks for the suggestions.

Looks like a ticket has been raised by Travis over at TMDb, hopefully this will be resolved soon.....

Workaround for now could be to use Universal Movie Scraper with all artwork from fanart.tv enabled.
...or else, I presume the new python scrapers are also equipped with such fanart.tv options.

The same problem here. I tried to use other addon the movie database python seems to be a workaround for now. Also universal movie scraper seems to be working.

I was thinking of trying the Python version but wasn't sure, so decided to wait. I might just give it a try if it works and may also try the other... thanks for the input, much appreciated. Actually, not sure if the Python version will work with Arctic Horizon Skin / TMDB Helper......

Is this the problem, that it requires https instead of http?

What database format is MyVideo116.db?

Will the links already be there inside the database and I just need to change each one to https?
