TV shows broken after last update #130

Open arnefm opened 9 years ago

arnefm commented 9 years ago

Pulsar automatically updated some time last week (I was away) and since then I am no longer able to play TV shows. Movies work as expected.

I know of at least one other case of this problem, the user maggigisla reported having the same problem in the Pulsar thread on the Kodi forum.

Exact steps to reproduce:

When selecting the TV show nothing happens, sometimes Kodi shows a popup saying "Working". The same thing happens when trying to open a TV show through the Favourites menu.

Expected behaviour

When selecting a TV show the user should be presented with a menu where he can select a TV show season.

I have enabled debug logging and uploaded it Here. This part of the log shows what happens in the moment a TV show is selected.

Please contact me through my Github accout if more information is needed.

I should add that I have tried clearing the cache using the configuration menu option, and I have completely uninstalled both Pulsar and all providers (including manually deleting any residual files from ~/.kodi) to no avail.

It might be some similaritys to the menu bug also, in video menu all subcategories like action, sci-fi, comedy is not visible by text, but the icon and menu entrys work.

arnefm commented 9 years ago

I am not affected by anything like that. All the menus look fine and the categories show both text and the icon. I think I had a similar problem earlier though. I solved that by cleaning Pulsars cache.

I really hope this bug gets fixed or that I find some workaround, I miss my TV shows!

maggigisla commented 9 years ago

I tried to revert to version 0.4.7 and TV Shows works again.

ghost commented 9 years ago

No its a bug, cleaning cache does not solve it. By the way are you familiar with the files that clean function is removing? Then you know its not possible to clean cache to get the menu text working.

Please try in English:

And let me know if that helps, so we can track down the bug

I had the same problem with 0.5.0 but reverting back to 0.4.7 didn't help at first. I also had a problem, that was related to not able to connect to thetvdb.com that pulsar is getting seassons and episodes information from (that was the error in the kodi logs). Maybe it was a problem with my ISP and cloudflare, and it was fixed at the same moment I tried to go to IP address of the thetvdb.com from browser. But after I tried that, thetvdb.com started working, and also did pulsar and tvshows. I don't know if that is at all related to this bug report, but I had to share this.

I am running Kodi 14.2 in english (never changed any language settings) on an up to date Arch Linux box (currently kernel 3.19.3). Here is a full debug log. To produce this log I did the following:

Is this what you consider to be "a full debug log"? Lines 92-93 look interesting, but I have no idea what zip files have to do with anything.

ghost commented 9 years ago

Seems to fix the issue, somehow the language selection is cousing this error.

Please try in English:

change the Kodi language Restart Kodi And let me know if that helps, so we can track down the bug

@arnefm your log doesn't show anything wrong

arnefm commented 9 years ago

Huh, well, I still can not open up TV shows. Anything else I can do to provide you with a better/more complete log of what is happening?

maggigisla commented 9 years ago

@steeve I had 0.5.0 and and it was in english, I did post my debug log in the pulsar forum. Did you get a chance to look at it ?

Only thing that caught my eye in the debug log was something about invalid zip file (Error #01: zip: not a valid zip file). Some other user also posted a log containing that error.

I'm running my Kodi on OpenELEC (5.0.8) on Xtreamer Ultra 2 (kernel 3.17.8)

You can contact me if you want some other info.

Best regards, MG

It is a bug who applies only to languages of kodi that are not on tvdb - mine is Romanian, it is not, Norwegian think not, too. Workarround - change language of kodi to english , clear cache of Pulsar and it will work. You could (after you enter at least in one tvshow and get to an episode) change back the language to your native one. You will have to repeat this after every restart, at least on my install works like this (arm quad M8 - dotSmart dualboot android/linux mediaplayer - mxlinux) Solution to implement - if that language not on tvdb, to use english.

maggigisla commented 9 years ago

@itvalentino76 My installation is in english and no language settings are configured to any other language than english so your solution does not apply in my situation.

ishaan01 commented 9 years ago

Hi, I also had the same issue when installing 0.5.0. TV shows would not go beyond the title name without any ERROR message.

reverting to 0.4.7 made it go away and TV shows work.

itvalentino76 commented 9 years ago

@maggigisla - normal english or english US or something else? Try to switch to normal English , clear cache and then try again. I'm not an expert , I was just explaining how worked for me. @ishaan01 - you could try my solution

jvreeker commented 9 years ago

Works for me, switch tot english and cleared the cache. Then I had tot restart.

ishaan01 commented 9 years ago

@itvalentino76 thanks! it worked.

My language was set to blank, but setting it explicitly to english fixed the problem.

(sorry for the late reply)

maggigisla commented 9 years ago

@steeve @arnefm Switching to normal english as @itvalentino76 suggested (there was nothing selected before) works :)

vitorma commented 8 years ago

Same issue here after update to Isengard, changing from Portuguese(Brazil) to English and rebooting, seems to be a workaround. It's probably a thetvdb related problem.
