Hi Millhouse, I've stopped using RPi (usb died) but thanks for your hard work with these releases

And an FYI, currently i'm using a windows OS with Kodi v 19 daily which has been working well.
Working well that is until the python 3 update  in master branch you mentioned above.

Sadly, unlike your build, the windows 19 build doesn't seem have a build thread to report issues that I've found.
But as the problems i'm having are add-on related, it will no doubt impact RPi uses just as it is impacting me.

The addon's i'm using are "Kodi Windows Installer" and "Log File View for Kodi" (amoungst others) which are broken for all platforms based on Kodi master (i assume).
Do you know if the Kodi team has any strategy or are doing anything to assist the addon autors in updating their wares to python 3?
I ask becasue these above mentioned addons haven't been touched for 9 months and 2 years as i can see.

There's a "Python3 Migration" sub-forum here which may be worth monitoring. However I think it's intended as a shared resource add-on developers, rather than end-users so it may not be appropriate to post about individual broken add-ons.

Team Kodi will help add-on developers to migrate their add-ons (as much as possible, without actually becoming the maintainers) but if an add-on is abandoned and not migrated to Python3 then it's highly likely it will simply be killed off (removed from the Kodi 19 repository). There is an expectation that some add-ons will never be migrated. If an add-on appears to be abandoned hopefully a new maintainer will come forward.

Thanks for the heads up.

Hope that the add-on authors/maintainers are able to spend the required time to update from python 2 to 3 but sometimes life means such tasks take a back seat
Guess i'll monitor the situation but for the moment revert to an earlier release that copes with python 2 (i need my netflix)

Thanks again to all the volunteers for all their efforts in bring us Kodi and it's various add-ons

With ref to recent post from skylarking with Milhouse response about python 3 impact to suspended nightly builds. With #1012 installed on my rpi3 b+, I hit issue at end of last week with a number of kodi add-ons being automatically updated, impacting other kodi add-ons I had personally installed.

I rolled back to current latest official LibreELEC 9.2 LibreELEC-RPi2.arm-9.1.501.img.gz build, but this did not resolve issue. (I was not clearly thinking through issue, that any installed add-on would remain at latest installed version and rolling back to an earlier official build of Libreelec; not a quick fix)
I then from PC over network to rpi, checked for recent updates to kodi add-ons within .kodi\addons folder, rolled back to previous version of couple of add-ons in list below (known add-on dependencies to an installed add-on with issues) and everything working correctly again for specific add-on.

Following is list of addons noted as updated since 12/10. (popping into packages folder, able to find previous version of each addon within zip and replace over version held within addons folder etc)



Thought it useful to mention here for anyone else who may wonder why an addon is not working anymore on an installed Nightly, with method to resolve without complete rebuild/refresh.
Will stay on latest official LibreELEC 9.2 build, whilst nightlies suspended for kodi Python 3 update focus.

Yeah.... I guess addons in the Kodi master repo (not under LE control) may be being updated with new versions that now include "Python3" support, but this support is breaking Python2-based Kodi 19 installs.

It's likely developers have decided to branch their addons, continuing to support Python2-only for Kodi 18 and older, and supporting only Python3 for Kodi 19+ - aside from the extra effort of maintaining two versions of the add-on, it does mean the Kodi 19 version is "cleaner" from a Python point-of-view (ie. no Python2 compatibility hacks).

I'm hopeful that we can soon resume nightly testing on Sunday with a Kodi 19 build based on Python 3.7.5, and Samba 4.11.1. The only missing piece right now is the LibreELEC Settings add-on which makes upgrading/downgrading tricky (as there's currently no LE Settings GUI), but I may provide a command line alternative as a short term solution until the add-on is ready for testing.

   Aaaand we're back... - thanks for your patience! :)
   
   Python3
   This is the first test build with Python3, and without Python2. A lot of addons that haven't yet updated to (or added support for) Python3 will now be broken. Kodi 19 addons and scripts that have updated to support Python3 (and no longer support Python2) may now be working better than before (with #1012 and older builds).
   
   The migration to Python 3 is likely to be a bumpy road - please raise add-on issues with the respective addon/script maintainers in the first instance. If there are issues with the LibreELEC implementation of Python3 then I'm more than happy to investigate.
   
   The YouTube addon appears to be working normally with Python3 in LibreELEC #1028, so hopefully there aren't too many implementation issues that remain.
   
   LibreELEC Settings Addon
   One temporary casualty of the Python3 change is the LibreELEC Settings add-on - this is being actively worked on, but still maybe a week or so away. Expect to see errors when trying to access it.
   
   As the LibreELEC Settings add-on is required to upgrade/downgrade, I've added an alternative command line solution called mhupdate to allow upgrading/downgrading, just run mhupdate 0 to upgrade to the latest release, specify a relative offset for an older release (ie. mhupdate -1 for the previous release), or a specific build code eg. mhupdate 1028. Run it without arguments to see a list of the 7 most recent releases.
   
   Samba
   This build includes Samba 4.11.1, which is quite a big update from Samba 4.9.13.
   
   SMB1 support is now disabled by default as the defaults for client min protocol and server min protocol have been changed to SMB2_02.
   
   This change is unlikely to affect most users that have already disabled SMB1 in their networks.
   
   From the 4.11.0 changelog:
   

   text:
   
   
   SMB1 is officially deprecated and might be removed step by step
   
   in the following years. If you have a strong requirement for SMB1
   
   (except for supporting old Linux Kernels), please file a bug
   
   at https://bugzilla.samba.org and let us know about the details.

Build Highlights:

1. New firmware (arm_loader; display power mailbox call)
   
2. New 5.3.7 kernel
   
3. Replace Python 2.7.16 with Python 3.7.5
   
4. samba-4.11.1; openssl-1.1.1d; gnutls-3.6.10; zstd-1.4.3; curl-7.66.0; sqlite-3.29.0

   Aaaand we're back... - thanks for your patience!
   
   Python3
   This is the first test build with Python3, and without Python2. A lot of addons that haven't yet updated to (or added support for) Python3 will now be broken. Kodi 19 addons and scripts that have updated to support Python3 (and no longer support Python2) may now be working better than before (with #1012 and older builds).
   
   The migration to Python 3 is likely to be a bumpy road - please raise add-on issues with the respective addon/script maintainers in the first instance. If there are issues with the LibreELEC implementation of Python3 then I'm more than happy to investigate.
   
   The YouTube addon appears to be working normally with Python3 in LibreELEC #1028, so hopefully there aren't too many implementation issues that remain.
   
   LibreELEC Settings Addon
   One temporary casualty of the Python3 change is the LibreELEC Settings add-on - this is being actively worked on, but still maybe a week or so away. Expect to see errors when trying to access it.
   
   As the LibreELEC Settings add-on is required to upgrade/downgrade, I've added an alternative command line solution called mhupdate to allow upgrading/downgrading, just run mhupdate 0 to upgrade to the latest release, specify a relative offset for an older release (ie. mhupdate -1 for the previous release), or a specific build code eg. mhupdate 1028. Run it without arguments to see a list of the 7 most recent releases.
   
   Samba
   This build includes Samba 4.11.1, which is quite a big update from Samba 4.9.13.
   
   SMB1 support is now disabled by default as the defaults for client min protocol and server min protocol have been changed to SMB2_02.
   
   This change is unlikely to affect most users that have already disabled SMB1 in their networks.
   
   From the 4.11.0 changelog:
   

   text:
   
   
   SMB1 is officially deprecated and might be removed step by step
   
   in the following years. If you have a strong requirement for SMB1
   
   (except for supporting old Linux Kernels), please file a bug
   
   at https://bugzilla.samba.org and let us know about the details.

Hi, a big compliment to your tireless work. After the #1012, important addons like Netflix, Amazon VOD and Hyperion have broken for me. I think it`s the change from Python2 to Python3. Especially Hyperion makes me a brain.

Is there a timely solution?

[Milhouse]

Is there a timely solution?

It entirely depends on the add-on maintainers updating their add-ons.

The Netflix add-on is under new management and Python3 support is being added (work in progress) - keep an eye on https://github.com/CastagnaIT/plugin.vid...x/pull/211, and switch to the CastagnaIT repo as the original asciidisco repo is now deprecated.

Thanks for the hint! Is there anything about Hyperion in relation to Python3?

I don't really know, never used it... your best option is to find the Hyperion support thread (if there is one) and ask the maintainer.

@Cosmicbase - with apologies to Milhouse to ask here, but can you please reduce your signature size?

Our forum rules (wiki) allow a maximum of 4 lines of standard size, yours is too large.

[J_E_F_F]

As the LibreELEC Settings add-on is required to upgrade/downgrade, I've added an alternative command line solution called mhupdate to allow upgrading/downgrading, just run mhupdate 0 to upgrade to the latest release, specify a relative offset for an older release (ie. mhupdate -1 for the previous release), or a specific build code eg. mhupdate 1028. Run it without arguments to see a list of the 7 most recent releases.

Is this the mandatory way to upgrade now? I used to use the command line, and wget the latest build to .update and reboot.
