Unfortunately I can't get the plugin installed.
I followed the description on:
http://www.mezzmo.com/wiki/doku.php?id=mezzmo_for_kodi_user_guide.
Downloaded for Kodi 19, extracted .Zip and tried to install.
However the installation crashes with a PythonToCppException.
I don't know how to find out, if my download includes the latest version version 2.1.4.4j.
Full Error Message
How can I fix this?
Thanks for any ideas.

thanks a lot for that fix. Installation now without any problems
I can see the add-on in Pictures->Addons->Mezzmo
UPNP Server Refresh seems to be doing something.
However, when I go pack to Pictures and select the UPNP Server, I still only see the folders and file names, but no image is displayed.
Am I missing something?
Thanks

•  Added a GUI notification when browsing a playlist and the server returns
   no results due to it being empty on the server.
  
• Restored picture viewing.  The new feature allows for viewing pictures in
  a slideshow or individually  with a normal or extended presentation time. 
  A View Setting was added to  allow adjusting the slideshow and picture
  presentation times. The slideshow has 3 controls:  Pause, Play / Resume,
  and Stop.  An additional View setting was added to enable / disable the
  slideshow feature.  The default is enabled.
  
• Added ability to display pictures regardless of whether the addon is
  launched in Kodi under Pictures, Videos or Music.
  
• Added / restored support for non-Mezzmo uPNP servers.  The addon will
  now detect the model of the uPNP server it is connecting to and will
  adjust capabilities to what the uPNP server will support.  Mezzmo advanced
  functionality like sync, bookmark / playcount sharing and more will only
  work with Mezzmo servers.
  
• Added GUI progress notification during uPNP server discovery so you can
  now see what is happening.
  
• Added setting for sync server selection.  This will allow syncing to your
  Mezzmo server while browsing another uPNP server or another Mezzmo server.
  If there is only one Mezzmo server found the addon will automatically make
  it the sync server.  Syncing to multiple Mezzmo servers isn't supported at
  this time.

I now installed 2.1.4.4k
In the settings I enable the ability to see non-Mezzmo uPNP.
Now I see my Raspi-Kodi in addition as server, but the add-on does not list my UPNP server (however: kodi sees the upnp server, folder and files).
Any additional Idea?
Thanks
Roland

I have under Pictures -> Addons -> Mezzmo the addon.
the folder shows "Refresh" and now the Raspi-Kodi server. Ther si no other uPNP server here.
In Pictures->Files I can add a new source via Serach uPNP. Ther I see my Synology server.
Is there another location to refresh the servers?
Thanks
