Hi,

In Kodi 17.6 I could play url such as:
http://127.0.0.1:65007/?url=plugin://plu...=2&mode=11

But in Kodi 19 when I try to play it, kodi crashes.
Why is that?
How can I solve this?

It seems that in Kodi 17.6 it used InputStream to open it.

Thanks.

But in Kodi 19 when I try to play it, kodi crashes.

Running that same plugin will crash because Kodi is Python-3 dependant as per v19.
If it is already a Python-3 script/add-on, provide a debug log (wiki).

I'm trying to play it through "plugin.video.playlistLoader" order an item from "plugin.video.israelive" addon.
(Basically it should be used as a url in my pvr list for Live TV)

Both addons are Python-3 supported.

65007 is the LiveStreamer port.

As I wrote, in Kodi 17.6 it seems to use InputStream to open it.
Maybe it relates to that?

It's a bit difficult to debug without the source file but I am seeing a number of errors related to is and is not being replaced by == and != .  I'd suggest fixing these first.  I'd suggest you run the Python 2to3 script against your Python files as part of the porting process from Python 18 to 19.  It's included with Python 3.  Here's the steps I go through to create a Kodi 19 version of a Kodi 18 addon:

1.  Run the Python 2to3 script against all .py files
2.  Update any Kodi 18 deprecated calls and changes
3.  Update the addon settings file to the new format using the conversion script
4.  Update the addon.xml file for the Python 3 dependency

Regardin (1) and (4) The addons are already after using 2to3, update addon.xml to python3, fixes alt the errors I get from the log file.
Regarding (2) If I don't get error in the log I can't know what else I need to fix.
Regarding (3) what is the conversion script for the seeting file?

This is the addon that the item exist there: https://f2h.io/d4mbz6ea7la2
The addon_data for the addon: https://f2h.io/ln03npzx8r4k
When I'm inside the addon the it plays it ok, but when playing it using the "http" url from another place in kodi (Playlist Loader / Live TV), it crashes.

Here's the link to the settings conversion script between Kodi 18 and 19.  The old format still works in 19 but you'll see the log messages.

Thanks.
I installed the addon but when using it I got this error:

Ronie will likely need to look at this.  He owns the settings conversion script.

Ok, I posted the error in the other thread.
After the settings will be in the correct format I will test it again.

Ok so I found the problem, it was because in the settings.xml there were & chars instead of &amp ; 

Now I don't have this problem with the settings format regarding this plugin,
but kodi still crashes when using this external url:
http://127.0.0.1:65007/?url=plugin://plu...=2&mode=11
(By the way I tried it also in this &amp format, but it still the same)

Updated kodi log: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Xxd6H7dqzZ

There is an error there that I don't know why:

Code:

ERROR <general>: int() argument must be a string, a bytes-like object or a number, not 'NoneType'

In Kodi 17.6, after this log line it starts playing:

Code:

ERROR: 127.0.0.1 - - [31/Aug/2021 15:57:40] "GET /?url=plugin://plugin.video.israelive/&channelid=2&mode=11 HTTP/1.1" 200 -

Another different that I found is:
In Kodi 17.6:

Code:

DEBUG: XFILE::CPluginDirectory::StartScript - calling plugin GlobeTV('plugin://plugin.video.israelive/','20','?channelid=2&mode=11')

Code:

DEBUG: XFILE::CPluginDirectory::StartScript - calling plugin עידן+ פלוס('plugin://plugin.video.idanplus/','21','?mode=5&url=ch_12')

(The external URL should calling to "plugin.video.israelive" which there is an item that should calling an item in "plugin.video.idanplus")

While in Kodi 19 in different format and params, and doesn't call the second addon (It calls twice to the same addon instead):

Code:

DEBUG <general>: XFILE::CPluginDirectory::StartScript - calling plugin GlobeTV('plugin://plugin.video.israelive/','1','?channelid=2&mode=11','resume:false')

Code:

DEBUG <general>: XFILE::CPluginDirectory::StartScript - calling plugin GlobeTV('plugin://plugin.video.israelive/channelid=2','2','?mode=11','resume:false')

Just to mention again: Everything is work when I enter to the addon manually, the issue is with the external URL.

[jbinkley60]

This error, means there is no value assigned to something you are trying to use or compare:

ERROR <general>: int() argument must be a string, a bytes-like object or a number, not 'NoneType'


Typically when I face these I start instrumenting my code to find the offending call.  I'll add something like this:

 xbmc.log('I am here instance 1  ', xbmc.LOGINFO)

in various parts of the Python file and then look in the logs to see where the error occurs (i.e. between instances 3 and 4) and then I start narrowing the range till I find it. 

The &amp is UTF-8 encoding.  You might try UTF-8 encoding your URL call prior calling the addon to see if that works.

@jbinkley60 

I think I found the problem in the code:

Code:

listItem = xbmcgui.ListItem(path=url)

When the url is:

Code:

"plugin://plugin.video.idanplus/?mode=5&url=ch_12"

How can I know if listItem was set and set correctly?

Because after that there is "listItem.setInfo" function but the log after that function isn't running.

Code:

    listItem.setInfo(type="video", infoLabels={"mediatype": "movie", "studio": channelName, "title": programmeName, "plot": description, "tvshowtitle": channelName, "episode": 0, "season": 0})

Code:

DEBUG <general>: programmeName: [COLOR yellow]ערוץ 12 - קשת (HD)[/COLOR]
DEBUG <general>: description: 
DEBUG <general>: channelName: [COLOR yellow]ערוץ 12 - קשת (HD)[/COLOR]

(description was orinally set as None, I change it to empty string "", but still the same)

So I guess there is a problem with the "xbmcgui.ListItem" or with the "setInfo" that makes setInfo to fail.

Thanks for your help.

[jbinkley60]

Glad you got it working.  I don't count on debug to articulate variable information without some help.  I instrument my code like so when I want to see information during debug:

xbmc.log('The variable value I want to see is: ' + str(variable), xbmc.LOGDEBUG)

The only time this won't work is if the variable is a None type but you'll get an error so you know it hasn't been set and can fix it in code. 

Here's my code for setting the description and it seems to work even when thee is no description from the source:

description_text = ''
description = container.find('.//{urn:/schemas-upnp-org:metadata-1-0/upnp/}longDescription')
if description != None and description.text != None:
     description_text = description.text

I then use description_text to set the plot in the info dictionary.  In my case I am parsing an XML response from a uPNP server.
