Login at Kodi Home

I am using Kodi v17 since a few weeks.
I often encounter crashes at the end of video/music playback.
They seem to occur after longer playing time.

I enabled debug logging and installed gdb for more error information.

Here is a kodi crash log after watching a longer movie:

I will try to reproduce the error with music playback tomorrow!

please try disabling openweathermap

**enolive** · 2016-09-18, 19:25

Thanks, no more crashes after disabling this feature!
I hope this issue gets fixed soon. I kinda like the weather functionality in Kodi Wink

**enolive** · 2016-09-27, 19:43

FYI, Kodi v17 nightly still crashes when I reenable openweather. No playback is needed at all to trigger this
Changed the subject, so it does not mislead possible readers.

Should I file a bug on trac.kodi.tv?

running linux as well, but never experienced a crash with openweathermap.

@wsnipex: i'm not an expert in reading crashlogs... is this PIL related?
if you have any pointers on how to fix this in the addon, i'm all ears.

yes, it seems to fail initing PIL, then some exit handler runs which destructs Settings, which somehow fails.

Code:

you simply read this from bottom to top, #6 being the last part of kodi code before it goes into libc.

install the new kodi 17 and controls not play, forward, subtitle, pause, stop appears below the video
Can you help me how to install
regards

Compared the stacktrace from my original post to my latest crashlog, looks the same so I won't upload it.
I've switched from OpenWeather to Yahoo and so far did not encounter any crashes, so I guess this is my workaround for now.

Let me know if you need any further information to analyze this problem!

@pedreas: I think you should open a separate topic Wink

are you using kodi from our ppa or a self-compiled version?

**wsnipex** · 2016-09-29, 10:16

looks like PPA build

**ronie** · 2016-09-29, 10:39

ok, thx..

this line caught my eye in the log:
01:23:17 T:139991814252928 NOTICE: Kodi compiled Nov 4 2012 by GCC 5.4.0 for Linux x86 64-bit version 4.4.16 (263184)

and made me wonder if perhaps an incorrect date/time on his machine could cause issues.
but if it's a ppa build, that's not the case.

@ronie there are other users reporting this problem, not only on Linux. I know about at least one case that happens on Windows. Sorry, don't have the respective forum thread at hand, atm.

as far as i can tell from the logs, the script runs correctly the first time.
when it gets started for the second time, kodi apparently crashes right at the start of the script, when it imports the PIL module.

no idea if there's actually an issue in the addon or if it's a bug in kodi...
