First of all, appreciate for such a good playback programe created.

this morning the latest KODI 19.3 was installed in my XSX under retail mode (not DEV). the video files including 4K HEVC could be playback well, some bugs had been found as below:

1. If changed any setup, like Settings / System / Audio / Audio Output Device from default to HDMI-digital output, the playback for video files will be abnormal, it appears the playback of video files (including 4K HEVC or 1080) would be seized after a moment. Under such condition, KODI will be stillness if exit via power off of KODI. However the abnormal will be disappeared after restart KODI from xbox menu.

2. Much Addons are reported ERROR when running, like scrapper: The Movie Datebase Python; Subtitles: Opensubtitles.org; Weather: Gismetro, Programe: backup, Video: Plex. not sure for others.

See the announcement thread and the various other in this section.

There is currently a permissions issue on XBox for Python access, which is screwing things up. This is only for retail mode (ie normal user mode), in dev mode (in which the app is developed and tested) everything works fine.

We are currently looking into this, and hopefully soon we can get a functional fix and release a new version that works also in retail mode.
This is affecting all addons (as they are written in Python) and the newer Python-based scrapers. The earlier XML-based scrapers are still working, and can be used if just local media playback is required to get stuff into your libraries.

Thanks for your answer. Looking forward for new version
