I get the following error when I attempt to watch a Crackle video via the Crackler add-on:

Code:

The movie never starts but the clip art does download. The error I get on the screen tells me to check the log file.

I'm new to Kodi and Android TV for that matter.

Can someone please help me resolve this issue?

The problem is that Kodi ships with python 2.6. This add-on uses the urlparse module to parse out queries. In python version 2.7 and higher, the query is correctly extracted. But not in python 2.6. This leads to an empty query string resulting in an exception.

This post contains a workaround that involves changing the source code of the add-on. http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=219432

edit the default.py and change the following (occurs 2 times):

from:
args_ar = urlparse.parse_qs(urlparse.urlparse(sys.argv[0]+sys.argv[2]).query)


to:
args_ar = urlparse.parse_qs(sys.argv[2][1:])
