I'm using addon version 5.0.0 with Kodi 2:19.1+dfsg2-2 and Python 3.9.4-1 in Ubuntu 21.10. Video playback failed, because resources/lib/model/language_mapping.py tried to read ISO-639-2_utf-8.txt as ASCII, but the file is UTF-8. The Python 3 built in open() has an encoding parameter, so this can be fixed using f = open(file_path, 'r', encoding="utf-8") at https://github.com/moreginger/xbmc-plugin.video.ted.talks/blob/72238a15d52f4f661bfff2738c97b208d719c276/resources/lib/model/language_mapping.py#L16 Though that probably won't work with Python 2. Here's the whole Python error from kodi.log:
Error Type: <class 'UnicodeDecodeError'>

Thanks for this! I'll get a fix done as soon as I can... it looks like there are some other issues with the subtitles / playback since I last worked on it.
