MP-TVSeries v4.3.6 Release [2020-01-24] (9 Viewers)

[ajs]

Can't connect to http://thetvdb.com/api/<apikey>/mirrors.xml: The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.

The some error and No Mirrors, no Data by TVSeries Online API ...

 

[Scott Zsori]

We're fixing the mirrors.xml right now. It shouldn't take too long because it's static content.

Hi Scott,

Can you give us a heads-up when the fix has been applied, so we can check?

 

[xppx]

Well, let's hope so then. For now it still isn't working.
Kind of funny that I am the only one noticing?

No, you're not the only one.

API v1 of TVDB had already issues the week before. You had to scan multiple times to finally get some output.

And as of Friday you get this message in the MP-TV Series log:
"Can't connect to http://thetvdb.com/api/<apikey>/mirrors.xml: The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden."

-- update --

Found this on the TVDB API forum. It's from Saturday. It's not just a change to a static xml. Guess it may take a while before it will get resolved.

So the mirrors error is fixed however I guess we need a rewrite of the addon to use https now and that might be the reason to why we get the
"can't connect to http://thetvdb.com/api/<apikey>/updates/...."
the TVDB have stated on the forum topic: Update for v3 - Sunday 11/17 9 am PST - TheTVDB.com
that it is now mandatory to use Secure connections.
I have tried to change to https:// in the settings but it is just for the mirror download.

Are there any developers that can help with this? ltfearme seems to not be that much involved anymore?

Maybe wait though until thetvdb states all is working before a updated addon?

Are there any developers that can help with this?

I think we need add HTTPS support in:
damienhaynes/mptvseries
Like:

WebClient webClient = new WebClient();
// .NET 4.0: Use TLS v1.2. Many download sources no longer support the older and now insecure TLS v1.0/1.1 and SSL v3.
ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = (SecurityProtocolType)0xc00;

damienhaynes/mptvseries
Like:

WebClient webClient = new WebClient();
// .NET 4.0: Use TLS v1.2. Many download sources no longer support the older and now insecure TLS v1.0/1.1 and SSL v3.
ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = (SecurityProtocolType)0xc00;

damienhaynes/mptvseries
Like:

// .NET 4.0: Use TLS v1.2. Many download sources no longer support the older and now insecure TLS v1.0/1.1 and SSL v3.
ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = (SecurityProtocolType)0xc00;
request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(sUrl);

 

[ajs]

And in:
damienhaynes/mptvseries

WebClient webClient = new WebClient();
// .NET 4.0: Use TLS v1.2. Many download sources no longer support the older and now insecure TLS v1.0/1.1 and SSL v3.
ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = (SecurityProtocolType)0xc00;

damienhaynes/mptvseries

WebClient webClient = new WebClient();
// .NET 4.0: Use TLS v1.2. Many download sources no longer support the older and now insecure TLS v1.0/1.1 and SSL v3.
ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = (SecurityProtocolType)0xc00;

I can try to make these changes in the evening (if I have time and there will be free time). But can someone make these changes now? Then we can check faster. And it is possible to solve this problem.

 

[ajs]

I make changes ...
