[Errno 2] No such file or directory - when using Dual Subtitles

[shad00m]

Hi I'm running Kodi 21 RC2 with your localsubtitle addon 1.12.2.

When selecting a single subtitle it works fine, but when I select two subtitles it shows a Kodi error Window with the message: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'https://[url]:443/FirstSubtitle.srt'

The log shows the following:

error <general>: GetDirectory - Error getting plugin://service.subtitles.localsubtitle/?action=browsedual

I'm getting the same error with SMB shares.

[peno64]

I tried it here also with kodi-21.0-Omega_rc2-x64 (Windows) and I have no problem. I tried to play a local video file (from my hard drive) with a subtitle from my hard drive. You will have to give more information. It is strange that the subtitle file is supposed to be located at https://[url]:443/ as if it is from the internet. Where do you choose a subtitle from?

[shad00m]

Hey there, thanks for the quick reply. Sorry, I forgot to mention I'm running Kodi on a FireTV Stick 4k Max. I have tested it via SMB share and via Web Directory (https). When I select "single subtitle" it works with the exact same share and exact same subtitle. I know Amazon recently changed something about the ADB permissions, but I'm not sure if it's related to this issue. As a test I installed Kodi 19.5 on the FireStick, but the error is the same.

On a sidenote The "Opensubtitles Dual Subtitles" Add-on works, but it cannot load local subtitles like this add-on.

Same error via SMB:

Single subtitle directly passes the chosen subtitle to kodi to display it. The duals subtitle code converts the two chosen subtitle files to a merged ssa subtitle file and then passes this to code. It's in this process that for some reason the subtitle file cannot be read. I have no idea why. I don't have a firestick so I can't try this. Can you copy that srt file to the firestick and open it from there to see what happens then? You should be able to do this with the file manager in kodi.

[shad00m]

You're right, I can load both subtitles successfully when I place them under /storage/emulated/0/Download/ Any external source that I've tried (SMB/SFTP/Web directory HTTPS) does not work.

[peno64]

On my windows system I also tried with a subtitle from a samba share and I get following error:

Error Contents: [Errno 22] Invalid argument: 'smb://192.168.1.1/exthd1/...

That is a simular error as you have. The error originates from another place in the code and the error code is different but that could be related to the different operating systems.

[peno64]

I think the problem is that python, which is used to code the addons, cannot access an smb (samba) share. And that is what the addon is doing in dual subtitle mode. Whe you choose signe subtitle then the subtitle is directly processed by kodi which is written in C++ and that can access an smb share.

[peno64]

I also think I have a work-around for the problem. Python is not able to access the smb share (and most probably also not your original location of the subtitle file (https://[url]:443/subs/e01-kr.srt), kodi can and it is possible to call a kodi copy function to copy the file to the local OS in a temporary file and then let Python (the addon) use that file. I tried it with my smb example and it works.

[peno64]

The addon is updated. Give it a try with both cases (SMB share and the one that gave https://[url]:443/FirstSubtitle.srt) and please let me know.

Amazing! Smb, https and SFTP all work now with version 1.12.3. Thank you so much!

Great
