Raspberry PI 3B with the latest XBian - Kodi Logfile Uploader plugin error.

[zalinek]

Raspberry PI 3B with the latest XBian from Kodi 19.2 - shows Kodi Logfile Uploader plugin error when trying to upload (when trying to generate "pastebin" link). The logfile preview works fine, but the upload returns an error with the Kodi Logfile Uploader plugin (plugin from the Kodi system repository). I read in the "kodi.log" file - Phyton script error? I attach my current "kodi.log" file to the message. Thank you in advance for your help and best regards.

Sorry - I forgot to attach my "kodi.log" file to the message kodi.log

[mkreisl]

Sorry, but this is a coding error within the addon. has nothing to do with XBian as I think

[zalinek]

So I have to wait for a possible fix of the defective add-on? Thank you for the information.

[mkreisl]

I think the developers will have to be told that. I tried this on my notebook with an old linux. it works (python 3.6, we have now 3.9).

If I disarm the corresponding program line, it works but no QR-code is displayed. Always these useless gimmicks!

I have still found an XBian Buster installation with me

There the addon works, so it's definitely the Bullseye / Python

[zalinek]

I also think Bullseye is the cause of the problems. At the beginning of my fun with XBian and Kodi, when I installed an older version of XBian, this add-on worked and the wi-fi also worked. However, widevine was not working properly and I had to upgrade to Bullseye. After I installed Bullseye, the widevine works fine, You helped me solve the wi-fi problem (by uninstalling the damaged firmware package-brcm80211), but now the Kodi Logfile Uploader addon is not working properly ...

[mkreisl]

Yes, something is wrong with the pythpn 3.9. I had to make a small adjustment to the XBian-Config GUI so that it worked.

Anyway I opened an issue on the Gitlab project page yesterday (https://gitlab.com/ronie/script.kodi.loguploader/-/issues/1). Let's see what will come out of it.

[zalinek]

Thank you, I have already read about the problem on the Gitlab project website and I have a question: where to download the correct png.py file and how to replace it ?

[mkreisl]

Better wait until the PR is committed. This is easier for you

[zalinek]

OK. that is, I am waiting for an official fix - an update in XBian thats right ?

[mkreisl]

No. It will be an Kodi Addon update. Like I said, this has nothing to do with XBian

[zalinek]

Got it, so I'm waiting for the Kodi addon to be updated. Probably it will be on the occasion of the next new version of Kodi 19.3.

@zalinek: FYI: The pyQRCode addon is now available for update. After updating Kodi Logfile Uploader should work again
