[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Helvetica]Cloudflare is improperly handling h2c upgrade requests over


This is an issue with cloudflare not supporting http2 without encryption(which is allowed by internet standards). Every http2 request to http:// urls fail, resulting in peer(56) errors in kodi.This affects every http:// request going through kodis curl when the target is behind cloudflare, so it's not limited to addons.
The workaround(it's not a fix, because following RFCs would be nice) is to switch curl to only use http2 for https:// URLs.
...
Cloudflare is closing connections when an h2c upgrade is attempted. It should simply ignore the upgrade request. To reiterate, this isn't a problem with kodi, just one that was discovered.

My new routing number playlists do not work on my Firestick/Kodi but works on my WIndows Computer Kodi.
Could you detail the work around? -
I hope Cloudflare gets this straightened out.

Everything is working fine now if you install the latest KODI 18.8 from mirrors.kodi that Shooty has posted today. Just install the new KODI version on top of the old one (as an update). I am able to play m3u for this service now with no problems.
