Invalid package format when trying to update from version 1.7.2.1582

I have seen this issue when trying to upgrade from the MPEI Extensions Installer on one of my boxes but not on the other. I have no idea why this occurs, the error says invalid but I can't see any evidence of it.

I suggest you just use the link from the first post to manually download and install.

I couldn't explain why the MediaPortal web-server returned a 404 file not exists when downloading from MPEI Extensions Installer, the URL was pointing to the exact location as does the manual link.

I have uploaded again, but this time to a different location and it seems to have resolved the issue.

@high, the problem is back again.

Are you able to see what is going on from the web-server side? For some reason when MPEI Extensions Installer downloads the package the web-server goes to a 404 page, as a consequence it downloads an invalid file which is basically the contents of the 404 page. The URL is:

https://www.team-mediaportal.com/in...task=att_download&link_id=30&cf_id=65

It is fine from a web-browser for me.

What about using fiddler during downloading with mpei and web browser?

 

[Edalex]

Response from both MPEI and web browser:

HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Server: nginx
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Connection: keep-alive
Set-Cookie: **; path=/; domain=.team-mediaportal.com

X-Page-Speed: 1.8.31.4-4009
Cache-Control: max-age=0, no-cache

MPEI follows by new direction but it doesn't expect two directions:

GET https://www.team-mediaportal.com/extensions/movies-videos/moving-pictures/att_download-2,https://www.team-mediaportal.com/extensions/movies-videos/moving-pictures/att_download-2 HTTP/1.1
Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate,gzip, deflate,gzip, deflate
Host: www.team-mediaportal.com

result is 404 ofc
Looks like site bug for me @high

 

[high]

found a possible issue where the seo-component jumps in in special circumstances, can you please try again?

 

[Edalex]

It works for me from browser and from MPEI! Thx!
Now it returns HTTP 200 and mpei file by first link without redirection to another location.
I still hope we'll receive some more improvements (i.e permament links to all old versions, more readable download link, place to sotre specific downloads like streamedmp patches) to plugin downloading repo now when googlecode downloading feature deprecieted but it's another story
