LibreElec repository unavailable

Hi,

I'd like to install a PVR client from the LibreElec Add-ons repository included in my Kodi but when I try to access this repository it says it is "unreachable".

So I searched for the configuration of this repository in the filesystem and I found the /usr/share/kodi/addons/http://repository.libreelec.tv/addon.xml file which contains :

XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<addon id="repository.libreelec.tv"
                name="LibreELEC Add-ons"
                version="9.0.1"
                provider-name="Team LibreELEC">
        <extension point="xbmc.addon.repository"
                name="LibreELEC Add-ons">

Can you tell me if the url of this repository is working for you ? Or is there something I am missing ?

Thank you in advance

I don't understand why this repo is unavailable since months and nobody cares I mean this is LibreElec's repo not just an extra repo from unknown source..

Because you are using an not official build where the repo links into nowhere

There is no H3 addons at all for 9.0 or 9.2, if you want addons you need to update the LE build to some recent version that also includes addons now.
