Need update for kodi "matrix".

[Herbs851]

Hi all,

It's all in the title. Is anyone motivated to update the plugin to make it compatible with Kodi 19 "matrix" ? Unless someone has managed to get it to work ???

Thanks in advance.

Hi; I don't use Subsonic anymore so someone will have to do the work... I can transfer this repo if needed.
Good luck !

Hi, I do not use subsonic but its fork airsonic. However, the plugin was working properly until now. Thanks for your answer ;)

A workaround that is possible AFAIK: Install "Ampache" e.g. with Docker, and then use the Subsonic/Airsonic/Airsonic-Advanced/Whatever as "remote catalog" in Ampache. And the install the Ampache Kodi Matrix Addon from Kodi repo and connect to Ampache. Have not yet tried this myself, but should work in theory. Still so sad to not be able to use the Subsonic Kodi Addon, especially not that after Airsonic vanilla has been a stalled/dead project, its fork Airsonic-Advanced has been progressing amazingly and re-energized the Airsonic community again. Hope someone who can code is able to give this addon some love.

Thanks for the tip. I started to update the plugin but my level in python is not very high. I'm fixing one error after another without even knowing if I'll eventually succeed. If I fail I will try your solution ;)

I have a working fork at https://github.com/warwickh/plugin.audio.subsonic (works for me anyway) Feel free to give it a try.

[gordielachance]

So nice ! i’ll have a look. Also, I am not maintaining this repo anymore. Would you be interested by taking the ownership ?

So good, I'll try it later today and get back to you. Thanks ;) !!!!

Hi again,

I did some tests on a VM with kodi newly installed.

If I install these 2 modules :

https://mirrors.kodi.tv/addons/matrix/script.module.dateutil/ https://mirrors.kodi.tv/addons/matrix/script.module.future/

it doesn't work.

If I install only the dateutil module and with a "pip3 install future" it works.

Is it normal ? or I missed something ?

[Herbs851]

I think I've found it.

To use script.module.future-0.18.2+matrix.1 you have to add this line in addon.xml :

<import version="0.18.2" addon="script.module.future"/>

And then it works ;)

[warwickh]

Yes, you're right. That's a new requirement from the simpleplugin update. I must have had it on my machine already.

Thanks for testing. I've updated it now.

I'm happy to take over the repo. I use this plugin a bit, so will probably tweak it some more.

[Herbs851]

I didn't do much, you did all the work.

And I thank you very much ;) !!!

Hi @warwickh, that is nice ! I'm trying to transfer the repo.

Could you 1 / make a pull request so I can merge your commits 2 / Once I'll have done it, you will need to delete your repo so I can give you the ownership : actually, it says "warwickh/plugin.audio.subsonic already exists"...

[gordielachance]

Merged ! I can transfer the ownership if you delete your current repo.

[warwickh]

Great. I've renamed my old repo, you can try to transfer any time now and it shouldn't clash.

[gordielachance]

Ok; i don’t get exactcly how it works. Now it says: warwickh already has a repository in the basilfx/plugin.audio.subsonic network

Do you know how to make this work ?

[warwickh]

Not sure, but I've completely deleted my version now so worth trying again.

[gordielachance]

Thanks and all the best !
