New finding (key observation):

The problem completely disappears when I enable Cloudflare WARP (VPN). This strongly suggests that my ISP (Greenwave, gwt.su) is using DPI (Deep Packet Inspection) that interferes with the connection to addons.libreelec.tv, likely by throttling or selectively blocking the traffic.

Subject: Timeout and digest mismatch when accessing official LibreELEC add-on repository

LibreELEC version: 12.2.1
Platform: ARMv8 / aarch64 Raspberry Pi 4,

Problem description:

When updating the official add-on repository, I get timeouts and checksum errors in kodi.log:

text

CCurlFile::CReadState::FillBuffer - Failed: Timeout was reached(28)
CRepository: https://addons.libreelec.tv/12.2.0/ARMv8/aarch64/addons.xml.gz index has wrong digest ... expected: ...

The issue occurs every time.

Diagnostics performed:

• Ping to 8.8.8.8 – OK (0% loss, ~22 ms).
• Ping to addons.libreelec.tv – OK (resolves to 116.203.139.247, 0% loss, ~44 ms).
• System time is correct (date).
• curl over HTTPS – extremely slow (~1.6 KB/s), times out after 10 seconds with only 16 KB received out of 355 KB.
• curl over HTTP (port 80) – no response, timeout.
• MTU check – ping with 1472 bytes succeeds; changing MTU to 1400 did not help.

What I've already tried:

• Added advancedsettings.xml with increased timeouts (curlclienttimeout and curllowspeedtime up to 180 s).
• Cleared repository cache (addons*.db, packages/, temp/).
• Rebooted the device and router.
• Switched DNS to public servers (8.8.8.8, 1.1.1.1).

None of these resolved the problem.
