Seems like the API URL reused from Kodi addons isn't working properly anymore and return a 404.

@GermanG are you able to take a look at it and see if there's something we can do about it? I'll try to contact the site admin by email.

Confirmed, the API as I knew it is not there anymore. The host api.regilive.ro is still there but it's just a "hello" result there and nothing else, my provider was based on the kodi plugin because I couldn't find any better documentation, just looked again and found my own gist as a top result in google. :/ Played a while with urls with no luck, I hope you have better luck contacting the site admin @morpheus65535 The only alternative I can see is rewrite a scrap based one.

@GermanG thanks for your time, I'll keep you informed if I ever get any news from the site admin.

I created a "wrapper" for the regielive API with local caching (in order to make it light on the regielive website). It's a drop in replacement, so if anyone wants to use it they can just replace the URL and it magically works. I used it successfully on my local machine since the api stopped working.

I can post the URL if morpheus thinks it's okay.

[GermanG]

Or you can create a PR with the new url, is it still regielive.ro?

[morpheus65535]

@alexandrucatalinene of course I'll be happy to receive a PR for this. :-)

[morpheus65535]

Should be fixed by @alexandrucatalinene PR. Feel free to test and confirm!

Fixed in development branch by #2032
