For some reason I cannot connect my windows build of 17.6 to the Kodi repo. I have been also having some problems with my internet connection which times-out frequently on my PC's browsers. I'm beginning to think my ISP may have blocked it unless it has been down. Can someone tell me what the url is of the Kodi repository so I can test trying to reach it with my PC browser please?

I've posted a log

**EDIT**

I cannot ping mirrors.kodi.tv (I got this address from another post with a similar problem) I assume this is a problem with my ISP but I really don't know that much about this.

I am able to connect with my firefox browser to mirrors.kodi.tv/ and download a nightly. But when I try to install from the repository using Kodi 17.6 I cannot connect. If I save  an addon from GitHub site using my PC and then try to install the zip to Kodi I fail to install dependencies which I assume come from the Kodi repo...is that right? Is the repository down? Anyone?

I can ping mirrors.kodi.tv, so that looks to be your problem. What happens if you visit this address in your browser?

In a browser see what http://mirrors.kodi.tv/addons/krypton/me...mirrorlist reports as the top ranked mirror, then check you can download from it.

Your log is no good as you’ve not enabled debug logging.

To receive meaningful assistance you will need to provide a full debug log.

The instructions are here... debug log (wiki)

If you are using the Basic Method, then ensure the following is applied...
1.Enable debugging in Settings>System Settings>Logging,
2.Restart Kodi
3.Replicate the problem.

If you are using the Advanced Method ensure you have correctly created and applied the advancedsettings.xml file.

In both instances, you should see the word DEBUG throughout the log.

Anyone? Please....

I tested pinging mirrors.kodi.tv using this app which is pingable

https://asm.ca.com/en/ping.php



and now I'm wondering if mirrors.kodi.tv has IP blocked me which I can't understand why they would.

 Any  thoughts?

So I installed a free VPN (with limited bandwidth) as a test and with it I am able to ping mirrors.kodi.tv and Kodi works...without the VPN not. My ISP tech is able to ping mirrors.kodi.tv and assures me it's not IPS blocked. I am also able to reach mirrors.kodi.tv without the VPN using my browser and download for example a nightly. So I'm very confused as to why I have this problem all of the sudden (last 10 days)?

Also check any firewall and antivirus/antimalware software you may have which could be blocking specific ports?

This post here from this thread helped somewhat...

At least now it lets me connect to the halifax repo to download after the address change in the xml file...however I believe because of the 2 lines under the changes with the "mirrors.kodi.tv" address I'm still having problems because the addons that now I can download won't play.
 

Hi,
In the last month or so I saw that I cant install any addon from kodi official repository.
I started to investigate it and I saw that 'mirrors.kodi.tv' is un-reachable from my PC.
I checked this address via my phone and it seems fine.

I found a workaround on my PC by going to Kodi installation folder, to file C:\Program Files (x86)\Kodi\addons\repository.xbmc.org\addon.xml.
I changed the 'extension' node to be: 'ftp://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/xbmc/addons/.....'.
This fixed the issue in My PC.
I still have the same issue in my Tv-Box (android), mainly because I dont find 'repository.xbmc.org' folder with addon.xml inside.


1. Can you please help me locate the folder on my android tv box ?
2. I called my ISP (HotNet from Israel) and they told me that Kodi blocked them. Is it correct ? If yes, what should I do ? Is there a work around? Can you unlock them ?

Currently, on my Tv-box I cant install addons from Kodi official library.

Please help,
Thanks.

 I tried changing the address in the 2 subsequent lines below that to the same halifax address but then the addons wouldn't even open.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<addon id="repository.xbmc.org"
        name="Kodi Add-on repository"
        version="2.5.10"
        provider-name="Team Kodi">
  <requires>
    <import addon="xbmc.addon" version="12.0.0"/>
  </requires>
    <extension point="xbmc.addon.repository">
        <info>ftp://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/xbmc/addons/krypton/addons.xml.gz</info>
        <checksum>http://mirrors.kodi.tv/addons/krypton/addons.xml.gz.md5</checksum>
        <datadir>http://mirrors.kodi.tv/addons/krypton</datadir>
        <hashes>true</hashes>

There is probably a way to edit this to make it work...I need somebody with better knowledge about this than I have to direct me.
