v16 Crashing when playin music
#1
Hello there,
Big fan of your skin, I have been using it for a few months now and I really like it. However I've been having some issues when playing music. When I select an album to play, the music starts and every now and then, the skin freezes, however the song keeps going, then the whole kodi crashes, and I can't control it anymore.
It doesn't always happen but it have been a persistent bug, I usually just reboot the system and play something else, but today I decided to check what is causing the issue. The the only error in the crashlog file is:
Code:
ERROR: CPythonInvoker(6, /home/gustavo/.kodi/addons/script.skin.helper.service/service.py): script didn't stop in 5 seconds - let's kill it

And checking the kodi.log I found the log of the error below many times.

Code:
10:20:15 T:2491878208   ERROR: Skin Helper Service --> ERROR in setMusicPlayerDetails ! --> 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xed in position 90: invalid continuation byte
10:20:15 T:2491878208   ERROR: Traceback (most recent call last):

10:20:15 T:2491878208   ERROR:     playerFile = xbmc.getInfoLabel("Player.Filenameandpath").decode('utf-8')
10:20:15 T:2491878208   ERROR:   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/encodings/utf_8.py", line 16, in decode
10:20:15 T:2491878208   ERROR:     return codecs.utf_8_decode(input, errors, True)
10:20:15 T:2491878208   ERROR: UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xed in position 90: invalid continuation byte

I am not sure if this is what is causing kodi to crash, but is what I have found so far.

My system is a Lubuntu 15.10 And I'm running Kodi 16.1.

Hope you guys can help me,

Thanks,

Gustavo
