ZDF Mediathek ValueError("No JSON object could be decoded")

Hi,

I'm getting this error with ZDF. Not sure when it worked for the last time.

Did you find any solution? I have the same problem here on my odroid c2 (arm64) running Ubuntu with Kodi.

[WilliWichtel]

It's still pending. ZDF works but Arte makes these error.
