Channels not working with official docker images after 927c37ce3eb306fe6a02c0fdb9e3ee0a837e84d2 (01/2023)

[MusterGit]

I am self-hosting an invidious instance using the official docker image. After version quay.io/invidious/invidious:927c37ce3eb306fe6a02c0fdb9e3ee0a837e84d2 from 2023-01-08 (latest working) the addon cannot show channels anymore.

The following error is thrown:

When I use an older docker image, the addon can show channels, but does not list all videos. Only the first page is shown.

I'm having the same issue. I wonder which version of the docker image is recommended for use with this Kodi addon.

[bjoern-vh]

Here the same. Not only self-hosted instances are affected, but also all public instances I tested. Since I actually only work through channels, the addon is unfortunately useless for me in its current state. I hope that this is not a major problem and there is a simple solution so that we can use this great addon again as usual :-)

Thanks for the fix, @lekma. I can confirm it's working now for me!

@MusterGit , @TakTraum , @bjoern-vh sorry for the delay, guys...

[bjoern-vh]

Thanks a lot. Works like a charm :-)
