I created the SportsView addon (WIP). 

When i run it on my windows machine and / or Android (Nvidia Shield) it works fine. But when a user is trying to use it on a Linux machine they are getting this error:

error <general>: EXCEPTION Thrown (PythonToCppException) : -->Python callback/script returned the following error<-- - NOTE: IGNORING THIS CAN LEAD TO MEMORY LEAKS! Error Type: <class 'IndexError'> Error Contents: list index out of range Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/alarm/.kodi/addons/plugin.sportsview/mysports/mysportswindow.py", line 44, in onAction self.sports_buttons.moveFocus(1, 0) File "/home/alarm/.kodi/addons/plugin.sportsview/mysports/mysportsbuttons.py", line 231, in moveFocus self.parent_window.setFocusId(self.buttons[self.focused_index].getId()) ~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ IndexError: list index out of range -->End of Python script error report<--

I realize textsize is apparently deprecated. However, when i attempt to use textlength I get this error:

All machines have PIL 10.2 installed.
The addon.xml import line for pil is this :         <import addon="script.module.pil" version="1.1.7"/>


Feels like a damned if i do damned if i don't situation at the moment. I don't have Linux to test on but i don't think Linux is the issue here.

Appreciate any insights!! THanks!!

This is probably because Kodi comes with Pillow;  v5.10 in Kodi 21. Try installing Pillow on your linux host instead. I don't specify a version number in my addon.xml, that might be the problem as well.

Just an FYI, that versioning is way off reality.

Windows has shipped with 6.2.1 for over 4 years. Android/apple has had 7.1.2 or newer since Matrix.

Linux has whatever your distribution provides

what would your <import addon="script.module.pil" version="1.1.7"/> line look like? Or do I not need this line at all?

Sorry... You mean the version of PIL?

I just used "pip show Pillow" in console to determine the version.
