that's a real issue unfortunately, thx for reporting. looks like xdmovies locked down their api further :/ will have to investigate

tried to adapt and failed, expect this to stay open for a while. and when cache goes empty most of xdmovies will not work anymor

Update: had a hunch but no time to keep looking further and now it seems sootio has fixed it first, so props to them. And I think we can get it back soon too :)

Was just going to see if there was an issue for this. Sometimes I get this error, other times the flaresolverr step takes so long that the addon times out! Title tt35307139 for example.

sorry, decided against trying to work around this and removed xdmovies in ff39c59. sootio does it already it seems, but it needs a websocket connection staying open for over 10s and this is something I don't want to do in webstreamr. combined with the fact that it needs flaresolverr too, xdmovies is currently not worth it anymore IMO
