Have you tried updating the certificate chain on your Ubuntu 16.04 box? |
The issuer in the intermediate CA and not the root CA. The Web-Server is supposed to include it within the data it is sending to the client, as clients only have the root certificates. The intermediate certificate is required to build the complete trust chain from the server CA over the intermediate CAs up to a root CA. This is a upstream bug: www.epgdata.com must include the intermediate CA. I'll try to contact them. |
I am using Ubuntu 16.04.7 LTS with ESM enabled and up to date. |
It's a upstream bug, not a bug in XMLTV, OS component or browser. They must fix their web server. If you need a work-around, you can install the intermediate CA manually on your host: # You must be user root:
suod -s
# Download the intermediate CA from the official Web-Site of DigiCert
wget -O /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/xmltv.crt https://cacerts.digicert.com/ThawteRSACA2018.crt.pem
# Verify the certificate against the Root CA shipped by the trusted `ca-certificates` package
openssl verify -trusted /etc/ssl/certs/DigiCert_Global_Root_CA.pem /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/xmltv.crt
# Update the CA trust store
update-ca-certificates
# Become normal user again
exit
# Verify download works again:
wget -O/dev/null https://www.epgdata.com/ Afterwards you should be able to update your schedule again by running |
Is there also a workaround using the windows binaries from http://alpha-exe.xmltv.org/? |
Sorry, I'm Linux only since 25 years and do not know how Windows or Perl their works regarding to CA certificates. epgdata.com claimed to have fixed the problem by private mail to me, but the certificate chain is still incomplete as of today; I have contacted them again. |
I finally decided to recompile the Windows binaries and make the https request ignore all certificate errors. Maybe not the best solution but works. |
@witesbk Good to know someone else can make binaries.. I assume you followed the procedure I put on xmltv.org? I tried to replicate the problem with tv_grab_eu_epgdata, but I didn't have an account. |
egpData discontinues its service. It is no longer possible to purchase a new annual subscription. According to their website existing subscriptions remain valid until the PIN expires :-(

Regarding "existing subscriptions", I get the following error message (still using xmltv 0.5.69 on Ubuntu 16.04):
Any alternatives?
