Hi, my OSMC Vero 4K+ just won’t connect to any repository except for the default kodi repo, I’ve tried many and get the same error “could not connect to repository”
It’s doing my head in now, I just can’t find a solution. I can connect to any of the repo urls from a browser so they’re not blocked.
In the log there lots of errors like “Error opening https://raw.githubusercontent.com/…” (different for each repo) but again I can connect to these urls from a browser without any issue.
To get a better understanding of the problem you are experiencing we need more information from you. The best way to get this information is for you to upload logs that demonstrate your problem. You can learn more about how to submit a useful support request here.
Depending on the used skin you have to set the settings-level to standard or higher, in summary:
enable debug logging at settings->system->logging
reboot the OSMC device twice(!)
reproduce the issue
upload the log set (all configs and logs!) either using the Log Uploader method within the My OSMC menu in the GUI or the ssh method invoking command grab-logs -A
publish the provided URL from the log set upload, here
Thanks for your understanding. We hope that we can help you get up and running again shortly.
This might be part of the issue 2020-10-07 11:48:32.793 T:3791917792 DEBUG: DEPRECATION: The OpenSSL being used by this python install (OpenSSL 1.1.0l 10 Sep 2019) does not meet the minimum supported version (>= OpenSSL 1.1.1) in order to support TLS 1.3 required by Cloudflare, You may encounter an unexpected reCaptcha or cloudflare 1020 blocks.
But further than that we can not support/discuss this on this forum due to our piracy rules.
Thanks, I appreciate that but my issue is not piracy related. It happens with every repository I’ve tried.
I assume the OpenSSL being used by this python install is part of the osmc/kodi build ? My device says there are no updates available. Is it possible for me to update the OpenSSL ?
Well the two repositories that you have installed are both falling in the “no support” category. Can you reproduce with a legal Repo? E.g. Index of /repository/
It will be updated automatically with the next major update for Buster which should come in the next 2 weeks.
OK, I’ve upgraded my Vero box to the latest Buster build and removed all “pirate” sources. I’ve installed the yatse repo and I’m getting the same error when trying to use it “Could not connect to repository”
Connect via SSH to the Vero and run wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Tolriq/repository.yatse.kodi/master/zips/addons.xml.md5 and check what happens
Well then something must be going wrong within Kodi.
Maybe try to enable debug logging in Kodi and then upload the logs again after trying the Repository maybe that gives more details what goes wrong.
I’ve got to the bottom of it after a day of debugging and googling.
I had an incorrect setting in my advancedsettings.xml for increasing the video cache. I had the wrong number in there and was asking for more ram than the device has. After a lot of googling I came across this thread on the kodi forums that helped me solve it. I’ve changed the memorysize number and it’s all working now.
