Hello Kodi Python experts.
I'm attempting to write my first add-on, and learning python as I go. I've run into a thumbnail image issue that I can't seem to figure out.
I'm attempting to set thumbnails for items from the Internet Archive (for MAME). They have a great source of free and complete data available.
I'm trying to use images from this 'base' URL:
http://ia801807.us.archive.org/zipview.p...%2Fsnap%2F
Example 1941.png
But when I set it as a thumbnail I get the debug
DEBUG: GetImageHash - unable to stat url
Assuming it's a problem with my code, I tried a different source URL just to test:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/celso/...ame/snaps/
Example: 1941.png
URL #2 does work, but URL #1 doesn't. Are there specific limitations on using images from online sources? Is there any workaround for this?
Thanks!
