Not much to go on unfortunately. Looks like a PIL3 error but I have not dug further to figure out the cause. Running Ubuntu 20.04, Elite running in Proton

Can confirm this as well. Running lastest EDMC and plugin. I've tried to reinstall pillow -> No luck Install python-pil via apt -> No luck Copy over the dist-packages file of PIL into PIL3 folder -> No luck

Sadly I have no time currently to dig deeper

I run into this problem too. I thought to replace the shipped PIL3 (which is version 6.2.1 of the Pillow library) with a newer one but then I run into the next problem. As far as I can see the problem is that the plugin is using Window specific wrapper library, e.g. line 25 of the load.py: from ctypes.wintypes import *

... which fails to work under Linux.

I wrote a much simpler plugin to replace this one, no cropping (well I guess you could use crop in the command), or display or timer, but it does convert. I use it with imagemagik's convert (but it'll run any command you ask it to): https://github.com/A-UNDERSCORE-D/edmc-screenshot-2/

Thanks, I will give it try.

[HalJordan]

@A-UNDERSCORE-D Is that a standalone plugin, or to replace the load.py in this one?

[A-UNDERSCORE-D]

Its standalone, and will likely only work on linux

[HalJordan]

Okay, so I must have done something wrong. Next play session I'll run edmc from shell and see if I get anything useful. Pretty sure I have imagemagick installed. But I've been wrong before...
