google.earth black screen - fail to get url

Running Kodi 20.3 on ArchLinux

Kodi was last updated at 16 Jan, but I am unsure if broken due to the update or afterwards...

At the log is seen:

2024-01-23 23:09:47.046 T:3646    error <general>: screensaver.google.earth-1.0.9-getURL, Failed! Expecting value: line 2 column 1 (char 1)
2024-01-23 23:09:47.050 T:3646    error <general>: screensaver.google.earth-1.0.9-setImage Failed! 'photoUrl'

Any ideas?

Same issue here running Kodi Kodi (20.1 (20.1.0) . Clearing the cache and reinstalling the add-on had no effect. 3 machines affected. All running windows 10 and same versions of Kodi and Python. Issue was first reported to me Jan 22

Looks like the google endpoint I was using is closed... for now this project is broken until I can find an alternative.

Oh man, that's a real bummer! My partner and I absolutely loved this on the lounge TV.

Is there anywhere or way I can follow updates on your Google Earth screensaver in hopes you're able to get it back up and running in the future?

@AstonishingAston if your notifications aren't muted, you will probably hear from @Lunatixz when he have news through comments on this issue...
