script.module.kutils (was script.module.kodi65) - fbacher - 2021-09-12
I am now maintaining what was script.module.kodi65. Due to addon naming rules this was changed to script.module.kutils. It is only available on Kodi V19 (Matrix), but I can backport to Leia if needed (but I don't think it was ever available on that platform).
What is Kutils?
Kutils is a collection of useful utilities for interacting with Kodi, youtube, etc. I believe that it was originally developed from common code that
Philipp Temminghoff (Now retired from Kodi) created for other plugins that he developed.
Several significant changes:
Addon name and version changed.
The lib path has changed: was lib/kodi65, now lib/kutils. Any addon users will have to update accordingly.
Includes a workaround to a numpy limitation which caused Kodi to crash the second time it was initialized. This caused much grief in the past.
I have done some basic testing using my yet-to-be-released addon as well as several modified addons that relied upon kodi65. I'm hoping that several of them return soon.
I am eager to know about bugs as well as code that is no longer needed, due to Kodi improvements or other addons doing the same thing.
