plugin.video.sbs - (from bs4 import BeautifulSoup - ImportError: No module named bs4)

Hi guys,

Firstly, thanks for your hard work on these addons.

Recently started using plugin.video.sbs 1.1.1 with Kodi 15.3 on OpenELEC on an RPI3. Initially installed from the AussieAddons repo. Auto-update fired night-before-last and 1.1.2 came down. The addon has since failed to launch and re-installing from repo has no effect.

On launching the addon:

ERROR: EXCEPTION Thrown (PythonToCppException) : -->Python callback/script returned the following error<--
     - NOTE: IGNORING THIS CAN LEAD TO MEMORY LEAKS!
    Error Type: <type 'exceptions.ImportError'>
    Error Contents: No module named bs4
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/storage/.kodi/addons/plugin.video.sbs/default.py", line 29, in <module>
        import categories  # noqa: E402
      File "/storage/.kodi/addons/plugin.video.sbs/resources/lib/categories.py", line 19, in <module>
        import comm
      File "/storage/.kodi/addons/plugin.video.sbs/resources/lib/comm.py", line 28, in <module>
        from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
    ImportError: No module named bs4
    -->End of Python script error report<--

Downloading and installing the 1.1.2 .zip from the plugin.video.sbs repo results in successful installation of the BeautifulSoup4 addon but failure of the SBS addon (ERROR: CAddonInstallJob[plugin.video.sbs]: could not read addon description of special://home/addons/plugin.video.sbs).

However, adding version="4.3.2" to the bs4 import in addon.xml and installing from zip results in the successful installation of both BS4 and SBS, and the SBS addon launches and plays streams.

I'm not a Kodi dev so I've just been poking around trying to get it going. In trying to figure it out, I noticed this line still refers to BS3. Not sure if this is why the install from repo fails, or if the lack of version attribute is related.

If I don't hear back I'll write a patch but it might be easier for someone who's already set up to have a squiz and test it. Thanks again.

Regards, Tom

Cheers for your great detective work. Looks like we have a mismatch between the add-on metadata and the metadata set in the repo.

I'll sort this out shortly and push an update.

Cheers, Andy

Should be fixed with 523edebba474bb9dfe19af2aee0270440e16cc1f

Can confirm the issue is resolved and the addon is installing from the repo once again. Thanks Andy.
