Downloading Actor Images Fails

  • i have a RPi4 setup with LibreElec/Kodi, and am trying to populate the databases with my media and there are issues fetching the actor profile pics from internet destinations. in my logs i get "

    ERROR <general>: CCurlFile::Exists - Failed: HTTP returned error 403 for http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BO…_V1._SX400_.jpg" which is a HTTP URL. looking at the URL in a browser shows an error page, but using the HTTPS version of the same URL show an actor's picture.

    where and/or how can i change the configuration of this media grabber to use HTTPS and not HTTP?

    much appreciation, in advance.
