Opening addon for the second (and third, etc) time fails

[paneidos]

When opening the addon for the first time (since launching Kodi) it works just fine. Going to another addon and reopening this addon fails.

First encountered with XBMC 13.x on Gentoo/Linux Currently using Kodi 15.2 on Gentoo/Linux, bug is still there.

Same error occurs with Kodi 16.0

[p-avery]

I got this issue and I am running 16.1 I fixed the issue but changing the file (YOUR KODI DIRECTORY)/addons/plugin.video.confreaks/api/event.py

Delete the , date from line 1 so it reads the following ( line 2 is the normal line just mentioning it so you keep time in as its been coded in rather than just using datetime which I would suggest going forward

from datetime import datetime import time

I am seeing this too. Here is a log file for @watsonbox:

@watsonbox if marshcroft's suggestion works, would you accept a PR?

[andyw8]

An update – I checked against the latest code from the GitHub repo, and it seems to be working fine.

I've created an issue to ask @watsonbot to publish a new release: https://github.com/watsonbox/xbmc-confreaks/issues/9.
