I'm getting Couldn't connect... error message, diving deeper tells me the error is certificate has expired

[RuurdBijlsma]

Without changing anything on my end, I'm running my code again after a few months and getting Couldn't connect to ffbinaries.com API. Check your Internet connection.

I looked into what's reporting this, it's this line:

ffbinaries-node/ffbinaries-lib.js

Line 166 in edb47e9

return callback(errorMsgs.connectionIssues);

Logging the err variable from there gives me:

"Error: certificate has expired
    at TLSSocket.onConnectSecure (_tls_wrap.js:1331:34)
    at TLSSocket.emit (events.js:210:5)
    at TLSSocket._finishInit (_tls_wrap.js:804:8)
    at TLSWrap.ssl.onhandshakedone (_tls_wrap.js:618:12)"

Which doesn't make any sense to me since I can access the url fine from Chrome/Postman. I'm getting the latest version of ffmpeg and ffprobe, and I've checked the url, it's correct. The url it's requesting is "https://ffbinaries.com/api/v1/latest"

Maybe the redirect has something to do with it? Anyway, I replaced the request function with fetch and it does work without issue, so maybe you could fix it that way.

This is what I cooked up real quick:

    fetch(API_URL + url).then(r => r.text().then(body => {

            var parsed;

            try {
                parsed = JSON.parse(body.toString());
            } catch (e) {
                return callback(errorMsgs.parsingVersionData);
            }

            RUNTIME_CACHE[version] = parsed;
            return callback(null, parsed);
        }).catch(e => console.warn('json err', e))
    ).catch(e => console.warn("fetch err", e))

No proper error checks here though.

I'm using node 16.20.0
