ive noticed on kodi17(not sure about any of the RC's as i notice it until later) that when u install an addon from zip it runs the <extension point="xbmc.service" library="startup.py" start="startup" /> twice within a second of each other.

Bump

Hi guys,

I would like to "bump" this thread since there was no answer to it.

I have developed and released an add-on (Light IMDb Ratings Update) that runs as a service to update Movies and TV Shows ratings. As already said by Surfacingx, when installing the add-on from the .zip file, the add-on itself is launched two times...In order to have the normal behaviour (i.e. the service is launched just once), I have to close Kodi and reopen it again. So I guess the issue is related to the installation procedure (both Kodi 17.x and 18 alpha are effected).

My addon.xml file includes the following line:

Code:
<extension point="xbmc.service" library="service.py" />

Can you please provide a feedback as soon as possible? Thanks a lot in advance!

Mind filing a new bug ticket so we don't forget about it?

Thanks a lot for the prompt response mkortstiege...I'm going to open the ticket in a while.

Have a great day!

You're welcome. From a brief look we're indeed starting service addons twice. I'll ping the team members doing the addon work.

Really appreciated!

Hi mkortstiege,

Just to notify that I have opened the ticket. Do you think that the information reported are clear enough?

**mkortstiege** · 2017-06-16, 15:33

Jep, that's fine. Thanks!

Hi mkortstiege,

Just to notify that the bug has been solved on Kodi 18 nightly (for Widows; I'm not able to check on other platforms) but is still present on 17.4 nightly for Windows and Android (at least...).

I have opened another tiket. Please check if everything is ok.

Thanks,

Alex

Won't be fixed in 17.4

Thanks for the notification.

Have a nice day.
