Running kodi 16.1 Git:c327c53 on mythbuntu 16.04.1 (up to date as of 25-sep-2016)
CPU/GPU i3-3225 x86_64

Current skin: Amber
This error does not occur all the time, but frequently on startup
At first I thought it was an amber issue, but swapping to confluence and restarting kodi showed the same error.

Error appears in log, nothing on screen.

Thanks Derek

looks like a bug in service.skin.widgets

[glubbish]

Thanks Wsnipex

I installed kodi 17 beta 3, and still get the error. So its relevant to the latest code.
Is there any more data I can provide to help fix this?

Thanks Derek

[glubbish]

Can someone let me know how to log a bug on this?
I cannot find a bug report section for linux/live support

[fritsch]

trac.kodi.tv is the way to go.

Edit: From the log it seems just a query to the DB is nuts :-) ... reproduce with 17 nighty (not beta6) and if still happens -> trac.kodi.tv

[glubbish]

Hi Fritsch,

logging in to trac.kodi.tv gives:
Missing or invalid form token. Do you have cookies enabled?
I tried removing the cookies, but get the same problem.

I reproduced on the latest nightly, the debug log is in https://paste.ubuntu.com/23607020/

Thanks Derek

[fritsch]

Try again. As trac tells you, you need to remove cookies from all xbmc / kodi domains. If it does not work use ctl alt n to open a private browser window.

And your current log has nothing to do with the old bug you had, it's an addon issue:

File "/home/derek/.kodi/addons/weather.ozweather/default.py", line 524, in buildImages

It happens, cause i throws an expection when it cannot receive data from the ftp server. That is more something for the Addon forum.

Let's move this thread here.

not a kodi error

Removed weather, seems it can appear in more than one place.

Seems to happen mostly on a reboot.

The new debug log without weather still shows it.

Log is https://paste.ubuntu.com/23607253/

Let me know if this is valid and I will log the bug

Thanks Derek

It happens when it wants to make a network connection which is not there yet. Make sure you have networking correctly setup before starting kodi.

[glubbish]

I could not get a systemd startup to work, so am using a delay in kodi.desktop.

The delay was 10 seconds, and I saw the network connection message prior to kodi starting.
I increased to 20 seconds, but still get the same error.
Increasing to 60 seconds, same error.

I set the original 10 seconds because it was starting before mythtv started (which is why I tried systemd) (its running on an ssd with an i3)
But even with the 10 second delay, I was able to play movie trailer and use youtube, which indicates that the network is working.

looks like a bug in service.skin.widgets

[Martijn]

There should be an update in repo which hopefully fixes this
