No Film is playing: ERROR: Could not get secure URL for film xxxxxx

I'm getting the above error on my kodi. The whole debug error: ERROR: EXCEPTION Thrown (PythonToCppException) : -->Python callback/script returned the following error<-- - NOTE: IGNORING THIS CAN LEAD TO MEMORY LEAKS!

I have the same error here with Raspberry pi 3b, LibreElec 8.2.5 and Kodi 17.6

It seems part of the api has changed. the viewing url is not working anymore. Sadly I don-t have any way to rev eng the new url right now to try and help

[fabsmusicjunkie]

is there any way i could provide you with some info?

[Lars]

Thank but no this requires more time and a more complex setup. We'd need to analyze the traffic from the android app which the author based on to get a working api as far as I can see. We could try to reverse the app, or to intercept the traffic which could include doing MitM encryption. Anyhow right now I don't have the tools and setup to do this. The author surely does but they seem to be busy with other things or away. So mostly we'll have to wait.

Today I ran Android-x86 in qemu and installed the mubi app on it. I redirected the traffic to mitmproxy (https://mitmproxy.org/) and could intercept normal http and https traffic that way. However the mubi app didn't accept the certificate offered by mitmproxy, so I guess it provides its own cert. I'll try it again after installing the mitmproxy certificate as a system cert, but I'm not very confident that this will help.

I tried with a system cert, which didn't work either, so I assume the mubi app uses SSL pinning. While it's still possible to circumvent that, this means a lot of work for every API change. I guess the most pragmatic way would be to go back to parsing the webpage. The Android API was introduced with commit d02ba8d
