The pity is AB did more then just scrape extra artwork that now will not be possible without it. I wish I had any coding skills, otherwise I'd get AB to be v19 compatible

EDIT:
I guess changing <import addon="xbmc.python" version="2.19.0" /> to <import addon="xbmc.python" version="3.0.0" /> isn't all you need to do.

Code:

i actually went a step further, i updated same settings as you and some other requirements to bring up to Matrix versions, then i used an online updater to convert all the .py files inside the addon to be python v3...but still it didn't work :-(
