Any solutions to this issue? I am having the same error with Joomla 3.7.

Same problem here on Joomla 3.7.1 However v5.0.0_beta-2 works fine.

Found the culprit ! If you remove this section : `

https://static.htk.io/files/files/videobox/updates-joomla.xml 
</updateservers>`

from the file pkg_videobox.xml, Joomla 3.7.1 will install it correctly.

I had same problem, and found partially the cause and temporary fix: If I am not mistaken, it has to do with that PHP 7.1.0 changed how they handle string vs array-indexes. Now, I do not know what needs to be changed in the installation code itself, but I tested it with setting the PHP-version to 7.0 and videobox installed OK. It still reported some problem ("JInstaller: :Install: Can't find Joomla XML setup file." ) but did install anyway. At least partially, haven't tested it much yet.

I hope this helps others to install it and maybe developer to find the cause of problem and update it to support PHP 7.1.0
