Autoplay Stopped Working

[jonjo40]

Hey guys, loving what you are doing with this. Love it. Don't know if Im allowed to submit an issue but, I can't figure it out.

Ever since (I noticed) the VPN menu appeared, The autoplays has stopped working. I dont suggest its related at all but, is more for a timing of when it stopped working for me. Do you know about this or could I have messed up?

When Im expecting an autoplay reminder to trigger, I get a Kodi error popup (bottom right) saying check the event log but, there is never anything in there that I can see.

Kodi 16.1 | Windows 7 | Using The awesome White snow skin

Thanks guys. :)

Thanks. I expect it was when the VPN code was added. I'll have a look. Is it happening to every type of url: addons and direct http links?

[jonjo40]

I only use it for one type of url and its for a another Kodi addon like

plugin://plugin.video.myfirstaddon/?url=287&mode=2&name=BBC1

[primaeval]

Are you using it through the vpn? The default Settings \ VPN have it turned on. Does it work if you turn those off?

[jonjo40]

Its not a VPN no. The choices in the VPN settings window is actually grey'd out - like not selectable / clickable. I've never touched them anyways though.

[primaeval]

Try 0.0.333. The vpn setting had a default of on and was hidden. The code failed because the vpn addon wasn't installed. It seems to work ok for me now with the fix.

@Zomboided Could you check this fix please. It really needs something more robust that an except to enable the vpn behaviour.

[jonjo40]

Thank you. :) I'll give it a go.

To test AutoPlay without waiting for the next program to start you can uncomment these 2 lines. ie remove the "#" https://github.com/primaeval/script.tvguide.fullscreen/blob/master/autoplay.py#L60 https://github.com/primaeval/script.tvguide.fullscreen/blob/master/autoplay.py#L67

[primaeval]

The test will play immediately and stop 1 minute after that if all goes well.

[Zomboided]

Sorry about that...checked the code around it not being installed in gui.py before copying it into play.py and playwith.py. Added a check to see if vpn mgr is installed before trying to do anything (or relying on exceptions) and reverted VPN defaults (also behind the same check)

[jonjo40]

Still not working for me. Wait, do I have to install the service.vpn.manager now before it will work again? I'm getting confused.

[primaeval]

It should just work for you no matter if vpn manager is installed or not. Is there still an error in the kodi.log file about an exception when it tries to play?

[jonjo40]

No. the popup error has gone now but, it just doesn't start it anymore. In my Kodi events, it has the alarm clock things but, they don't switch it on anymore. :(

[primaeval]

I think I better have a look at your kodi.log. You can send it to primaeval.dev AT gmail DOT com if it contains anything you don't want made public.

[jonjo40]

Fantastic. Thank you so much. I'll run it again and after it "hasn't" switched, I'll give you the log. :)

[primaeval]

Don't forget to uncomment those test lines unless you want to wait.

[jonjo40]

Ive tried both. no luck.

[primaeval]

Turn on debug logging. Restart Kodi. Try again and send me the kodi.log file.

[jonjo40]

ok. Thank you again

@jonjo40 Nothing has come through yet.

[jonjo40]

sent again (but, I had the correct address)

[primaeval]

It ended up in spam. What have you been up to in the past? ;)

[jonjo40]

I dont understand

[primaeval]

Maybe there have been lots of spammers from your email domain. I just saw one from ffmpeg.org there too. That wasn't spam either.

[jonjo40]

oooh, yeah its a freebie email account. Probably gets abused to all hell. :D

[primaeval]

It runs the play.py function ok but I can't see it trying to play anything. Did it used to work on the channel you tried? Does the channel play ok from the epg? Send me a link to the stream by email if you can.

[jonjo40]

damn. Its a premium and (not very legal) streaming service, if you know what I mean? Is there anyway I can go back to before the VPN thing appeared? It worked great then.

[primaeval]

You can manually go back to 0.0.329 today. Make sure you turn off automatic update for TV Guide Fullscreen first. Then manually install this https://github.com/primaeval/script.tvguide.fullscreen/files/914499/script.tvguide.fullscreen-0.0.329.zip I'll have a look at the code again tomorrow when I'm fresh. Do you mind me forwarding the log to Zomboided?

[jonjo40]

Thank you so much and of course not, whatever is best. Send away. Thanks to all you guys. :)

[primaeval]

0.0.334 should fix it but then again 0.0.333 should have worked too.

[jonjo40]

Thank you!!!!!!!! I've updated to the latest and everything is working again. Fantastic. Thanks very much :)
