I can't recreate, but I think what might be happening is that kodi is quitting before the task gets executed.
This can happen because of the threading model. You can try decreasing the task frequency under the general settings.
if that doesn't work, let me know and I'll see if lengthening the join timeout for the dispatcher thread helps, however, with a task frequency of 100ms and the current timeout of 500ms, there really shouldn't be any reason the shutdown message doesn't get taken out of the queue and processed.

If it's neither of those then I'm not quite sure why it is only intermittently working for you. These intermittent bugs in a threaded script can be difficult to sort out because they are often dependent on the processing state of external programs.

Good news!!!

The addon has been accepted to the official repo.
Thank you all for your patience in pointing out bugs and helping me get this to this point.
I couldn't have done it without you.

Congratulations, thanks again for your time

Dear Ken,

first of all thank you for creating this addon!

There is a minor issue if a audio-file without mp3-tag is started. (Event: onPlayback started)

Code:

14:25:35 T:7112   ERROR: EXCEPTION Thrown (PythonToCppException) : -->Python callback/script returned the following error<--

FYI: With "onPlayback resume" there is no error - it works fine!

I've read your howto and I know that new events are very unlikely. Never the less I just want request "onVolumeChanged" to the event-list, if its not a big deal for you,

Thank you!

Hello

sorry for my English

I find really extra addon, but crash with the accent (é, è, à , ...) would it be possible to fix that ?

Thanks for the feedback. I'll provide a fix for that shortly on Github and post back. Will be a little while before it's available via the repo.

Thanks for letting me know. This may take a little while to fully track down. These unicode errors are notoriously bad.

Don't apologize for being French
I have visited several times (Strasbourg, Colmar, Paris, Lille, Lyon) and I love your country. Everyone has always been so nice to me and I have made many friends. Marseille is next...

[KenV99]

I pushed a new version to Github master.
With this update:
Better po file formatting
Fixes bug with unicode strings
Fixes bug with mp3 files with no tags
Improves onShutdown task

Please try it out if possible and let me know before I request it gets pulled into the repo.
Thx

Hi,

Firstly thanks for the great addon

I seem to be encountering an error on startup:

I can't seem to get this version working with window open detection, this works fine on the old v2 version.

Thanks,

[KenV99]

I pushed a fix for the windowid error to github master.
Please download, give it a try and let me know.

[KenV99]

I have to apologize - I realized I've been pushing fixes to the wrong archive.

All fixes are now in both the master and non-repo branches on Github.

Please give them a try and let me know.

Changelog:
Better po file formatting
Fixes bug with unicode strings
Fixes bug with mp3 files with no tags
Fixes bug in reading windowsids from settings
Improves onShutdown task

[delphiactual]

@KenV99, is it possible to have a task that runs as plugin:// ?

Edit: The answer is yes
Kodi builtin
RunPlugin(plugin://......)

Any idea? Is this something fixed in the github version but not on repo?

[KenV99]

I need to see the entire log.

See: http://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:Kodi_Callbacks#FAQs

[rroos]

So I've wrote a Python script that can monitor network usage, and I want to execute the script when the 'shutdown' event kicks in. The idea is that the script determines if there is network activity and if so, prevent the shutdown from taking place.

But I'm having problems getting that to work. I'm pretty confident about the script, and I'm presuming it gets executed, but I'm also presuming that nothing is preventing Kodi from executing the actual Suspend action while the script is being executed: the script probably doesn't replace the Kodi action. Are there ways in the plugin to prevent Kodi from executing the actual event?
