For what it's worth, same issue when trying to load the favorites. Log see here: https://paste.kodi.tv/ohugatezim

May I guess: VRT has made some changes and communication is a dirty word ;)

Similar error in the logs for Kodi 18.9.0 on Linux ARM 32-bit and LibreELEC 9.2.8 and latest addon-version since today.

Yes, loading favorites doesn't work anymore. And today another VRT api stopped working. I made a workaround so the add-on doesn't crash on the http error. The workaround is already in the master branch and I'll release this.
