All, I have been using this addon successfully for a while with Gotham. After upgrading to Helix, I started getting a script error immediately on opening Kodi.
I'm running Kodi RC3, but the problem has been present since the early beta versions.
log file is here:

This is the relevant portion of the log-file:
13:15:44 T:4640600064 ERROR: EXCEPTION Thrown (PythonToCppException) : -->Python callback/script returned the following error<--
Error Type: <type 'exceptions.ImportError'>
Error Contents: No module named simplejson
ImportError: No module named simplejson
-->End of Python script error report<--
I've gone through the the python code, and if I comment out the following lines, the script error goes away:
#if sys.version_info < (2, 7):
# import simplejson
#else:
# import json as simplejson
That removes the script error thrown at Kodi open and allows the Extras Screen to display from within the video info screen. Launching the VideoExtras addon by itself doesn't work, however.
I'm on a Mac Mini running Kodi RC3.
OK, this is simple:
replace if sys.version_info < (2, 7)
with if sys.version_info < (2.7)
I tried that, and the issue resolves.
