Available streams dialog appears under Opening stream on Kodi 14.2

[dtsexpert]

0.9.6 works fine, few minor things I would like to report

1. Exiting the Kodi makes it freeze. Need to hard reboot by unpluging the power cord
2. Love the new list font size and layout, but on top of the feed list there is smaller popup showing 'opening stream'. If I hit cancel it closes the feed list as well. I still can scroll up and down the feed list. Clicking at one of the feed, kodi downloads and plays fine. Android box 5.1.1, Kodi 14.2 Pastebin http://pastebin.com/ihpp5Nsx

Thanks, it's working properly here on 15.2, and since those are using regular xbmcgui controls it looks like it's a Kodi bug. I'll check to see if there's something I can do about it for older versions. Crash on exit is also frequent on Kodi, with or without Quasar.

@scakemyer and @i96751414 When you coders have time, kindly please take a look at this issue again. I need to use kodi 14.2 since this is the only version that works with Amlogic S905 hardware decoder. For now I am using the 0.9.5 but really would like to be up to date since the available streams layout looks great.

Chances are this will be fixed alongside #105

Can you try 0.9.12 to see if the xml-based dialog solves this?

[dtsexpert]

@scakemyer still same issue. Available stream still appears under opening dialog. Back to the 0.9.5 for now. Thanks so much foe your trying to fix.

[scakemyer]

Alright thanks for reporting on this. I had a workaround I was working on which wasn't ideal but should be a better compromise.

I really hate those language issues.. I thought on choosing the encodings based on the language

[scakemyer]

Alright so even with the more standard XML-based dialog, and a few other things I've tried locally, Kodi 14 just doesn't display custom dialogs over native ones. So this is an ugly fix, reverting to the standard xbmc.Dialog() for Kodi < 15, and you won't be getting the nice two-line Available streams, but at least it won't show up under Opening stream.

I'd still like to revisit the whole process of what gets triggered when, so we wouldn't have the Opening stream dialog in the first place but only after having chosen a stream, but this will have to do for the time being.

You don't need to do that... Just change the title string of that window

[scakemyer]

This has nothing to do with #142, you're confusing the two issues.

[i96751414]

I think Im not understanding the real issue here. ..

[scakemyer]

Title (and screenshot) says it all ;)

[i96751414]

It doesn't happens to me... Its quite strange

[scakemyer]

With Kodi 14.2? Same happened every time here, no matter what I tried. No problem with Kodi 15, hence the dirty workaround for the time being.
