Just for Info - not sure if related to problem node 23 is NOT supported, please use node.js 22 or 24

[mcm1957]

Admin 7.2.20 is outdated. Please retest with current stable release 7.7.19 or newer

[louisvangeldrop]

My mistake. The admin version is 7.7.20

[louisvangeldrop]

I am using node 23 already for a couple of months without any problems.

[mcm1957]

In regards to your node version:

Node.js 23 was an intermediate development release and is EOL / out of any support since May 2025 and does not get any updates any more including security updates. See https://nodejs.org/en/about/previous-releases

You should use either the recommended node.js release node.js 22 or node.js 24 which both are supported currently.

Hey there I'm using Node.js v22.21.0 and have the same issue.

Edit: It seems to be the reporsitory "beta". If I change to "stable", the Adapterlist will work.

I switched to this repo: http://iobroker.live/repo/sources-dist-latest.json and it will work this one failed: http://download.iobroker.net/sources-dist-latest.json

I am also running the beta-version

@Dickschieder Thanks for Info. The official path would be http://download.iobroker.net/sources-dist-latest.json. Thsi url redirects to http://iobroker.live/repo/sources-dist-latest.json (currently). Target url might chnage at any time (last change occured yesterday). So consider changing back http://download.iobroker.net/sources-dist-latest.json after problems are solved.

@GermanBluefox Just to collect infos: No problem with admin 7.7.20 and url http://download.iobroker.net/sources-dist-latest.json here. node.js v20.19.1, js-controller 7.0.6

[louisvangeldrop]

It works with the stable version

[GermanBluefox]

Yesterday the redirect for http://download.iobroker.net/sources-dist-latest.json was changed from http://repo.iobroker.live/sources-dist-latest.json to http://iobroker.live/repo/sources-dist-latest.json. You should restart the system (not only ioBroker) so it forgets the permanent redirect. When you change the repo it will try to read another URL link and it redirects to a new one and because of it, it works.

I did restart the system, but stil the same error with the beta-version
