After the most recent update a few days ago, the plugin was throwing an error. Solved it by installing the python-simplejson-package

I don't know how dependency-management works on osmc/kodi, hence this bugreport.

What version of Kodi are you using?

peletiah commented 7 years ago

17.1-RC1 Media Center Kodi

s0faking commented 7 years ago

try a fresh install of the addon. simplejson should be download by kodi/osmc (script.module.simplejson). maybe the problem is that you running the RC version. isn't there a stable kodi release built into the current osmc version? i currently got no PI lying around, so i can't really look deeper into the problem for now.

Thanks! Yeah, probably reinstalling the plugin will work. Mostly I wanted to point this out in case someone stumbles over this problem and doesn't know how to fix it. I didn't really customize anything, it's largely a default osmc/kodi-installation.

So how are the dependencies like python-simplejson defined in kodi? I assume the addons are not debian packages - is there a mechanism to integrate them in the package-manager, similar to a setup.py?

Thanks for your dedicated support!

s0faking commented 7 years ago

well afaik python modules are packaged into addons. kodi fetches all modules defined in the addon.xml on install. in your case it kinda looks like kodi has skipped that step. Other osmc users are having the same problem: https://discourse.osmc.tv/t/after-kodi-17-update-no-module-named-simplejson/22193

did you update from an earlier osmc version or is this a fresh install?

peletiah commented 7 years ago

Ah, thanks a lot for the information! It's an old installation with regular updates.
