Kodi 18 Build Crashes When Starting Addon - pkscout - 2019-04-27
I'm starting work on getting Artist Slideshow to be Python 2/3 ready. Thanks to the link in the other thread I started, I was able to build 18.2 with Python 3 support on my Mac. It launches fine, but when I start Artist Slideshow from the addons list (which is just a way of doing some basic test of the code), Kodi freezes and then finally crashes. Here's the debug log (although I didn't see anything interesting in it).

The AS code I'm testing is available to view on GitHub in case that would help:

Thanks.

I suspect two things, the debug log doesnt show the actual failure as you said due to kodi freezing and crashing.
1. In your advanced settings
dvdplayer hasn't been part of Kodi since 17.0. May be that is an issuexml:<audio> <defaultplayer>dvdplayer</defaultplayer> </audio>
2. The dependency addons that you are using may not be py3 ready.

I removed everything from my advanced settings except for the line that enables debug logging and then downloaded all addons from the mirror as you suggested. No change. I didn't mention before, but I'm testing this in a dedicated user account, so this was, in essence, a clean Kodi install. I think for now I'm going to set this aside and go back to some other work I have to do on AS. I ran everything through futurize (and fixed anything with some version logic for things that need specific 2.x/3.x code) and changed over to use Kodi Six for strings. So for now that will have to do until I can test with Python 3.

Please download those addons from the link above, install manually from zip and see if it helpsCode:http://mirrors.kodi.tv/addons/migration/
