Microsoft Connect Test failed #16129

Where did you get the info that http://www.msftncsi.com/ncsi.txt is obsolete? It works fine here. |
|
Also, have a look at this registry key and values to see the adresses used: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NlaSvc\Parameters\Internet |
|
While it is true that Microsoft switched to a more complex scheme to check for internet connection with Windows 10 (first checking a dns request against dns.msftncsi.com and thén moving on to check a simple http get against the new address http://www.msftconnecttest.com/connecttest.txt) , that does not mean that they deprecated the domain or usage of http://www.msftncsi.com/ncsi.txt which was hardcoded into Windows releases until Windows 8.1. Extended support for Windows 8.1 is until January 10, 2023 so we have at least 3,5 more years to change the URL- although it is very unlikely they will stop hosting the site immediately after support officially ends. The bug report in itself is completely inaccurate: the address is not obsolete and cán be reached unless your network infrastructure is incorrectly configured. We should probably change the URL though, @Rechi :) |

Bug report
Describe the bug
Into the Kodi windows .exe for some reason there is a Microsoft connect test incorporated which tries to connect to http://www.msftncsi.com/ncsi.txt
This address is obsolete and can never be reached, leading to Kodi becoming unresponsive for short periods of time. If this really is needed, the correct updated connect test uses www.msftconnecttest.com/connecttest.txt
