Same issue here...

The issue is that the latest extendedinfo script has been made to work with Kodi 18 Leia. In Kodi 18 Leia, the function System.HasModalDialog has been changed to System.HasActiveModalDialog. This causes the error "Could not find valid content type". To fix it for Kodi 17 look in your addon directory and open the file process.py ("C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\addons\script.extendedinfo\resources\lib") .

Look for the line:
if xbmc.getCondVisibility("System.HasActiveModalDialog")

should be line 263 and change it to

if xbmc.getCondVisibility("System.HasModalDialog").

Hope the original author can fix it in an update to work with both Kodi 17 and 18. 

bam! works like a charm, thanks!

question, how do i hide certain addons in the addons list? don't want the list cluttered with addons that aren't frequently used, for example the extended info addon is pretty much a set-it-once and forget proposition.... 

Doesn't work. no matter what kodi version on windows 10 or windows 7.

I've just figured it out! 
Goal was to build the youtube_dl from the second link , build it and then replace the built youtube_dl folder with the youtube_dl folder (aka. core) from the /.kodi/addons/script.module.youtube.dl/lib/ path 
Now everything works ! As for the quality i think there is a setting in the youtube_dl (a numeric value) that can set the vid quality if im not wrong.  

Can you please put ready folder (youtube_dl folder) in zip here? I guess I not so smart to buld it.  

youtube_dl.zip

get it directly from github  https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl
Use the "clone or download" button to download the zip.  Extract the youtube_dl folder from this zip and replace the one in script.module.youtube.dl

It doesn't work. You have to make some process to make it work... That's what I don't know how to do.
@Sharan123 did it... and posted the zip file for youtube-dl working. But then delated it...
I was wondering if he could reposted it... or someone who has it...

[hewwra]

Why bother with the youtube dl at all?
I just use the solution from xodi
This way you will use the properly maintained youtube addon where the dev will update it if there are any new issues.

Don't know what to say.  I just downloaded now from the youtube-dl repo (file dates seem to be June 15 latest) and replaced the files in script.module.youtube.dl and it works fine for youtube using the official youtube addon to find a video file.  I didn't need to make any "process".  I did delete all the .pyo files but I don't think that's necessary.

Jeezz... Maybe I'm doing something wrong...

But just to be clear... I have to download and copy the contents from the youtube-dl folder in github

and then

Replace the contents in the script.module.youtube-dl addon...


Just a quick observation: the contents are not the same. If I do as you say, the addon doesn't even launch...


Thanks for your patience Scott... Any ideas?

PS... all addons I have installed are official... except skin AeonMadnox.

You have to copy the content over in the youtube_dl folder like so: script.module.youtube.dl/lib/youtube_dl
not at the root folder of the addon

Thumbs up!!!

On Kodi 18.3 Portable Estuary skin with TheMovieDB scraper I'm getting "TVShow Info not available" for all series. Any solution, please?
