Ok, I was running Kodi v17.6 on android boxes. Everything was working as it should. I updated one of the boxes to v18 Alpha. I went to the default skin, installed Kodi update, then installed skin update, changed back to Sylvo skin, it rebuilt and looks correct.
Since doing so I have encountered 2 problems so far:
1. I had a couple smart playlists as sub-menu items, had them set to play, such as playing some random cartoons or crime shows (actual files of mine, not streaming). They worked fine in v17.6. In v18 I just get a "One or more items failed to play, check log". I even tried to create new playlists with same issue. That brought me to second problem
2. The log viewer just opens up blank.
I have tried installing the latest skin version from GIT, as well as trying the latest nightly of Kodi v18. (after installing the nightly of kodi, I no longer got the error, but it would crash kodi after a minute or so)
Anyone have any ideas or suggestions or know of similiar issues before I wipe it all out and spend hours rebuilding everything fresh again.
I am trying to get v18 to work to use with voice.
UPDATE:
I took the plunge and started from scratch sorta. I installed a re-branded fork of Kodi v18 Alpha for testing. The log viewer is now working correctly.
I am still not able to get my playlists to auto-play when using them as a sub-menu. When I navigate to playlists in kodi (using the list view), they all appear correctly, I can add them to queue and they will play correctly. But when I set them up as a sub-menu item or even a menu item and set it to play I get the "One or more items failed to play. Check the log for more information about this message."
If I select DISPLAY instead of PLAY when create the menu item it works as expected.
Here is part of the log it's creating when I get the error:
