Login at Kodi Home

Hi,

when I try to install/enable the Mediaportal PVR addon in a fresh install of the current LE 8.9.x or Milhouse builds, the system crashes and boots into safe mode.

This does not happen with an older addon version, e.g. v3.5.3.2, or with LibreELEC 8.2.5.

Would be great if you could fix this.

Thank you

Perhaps this is the same as I am seeing with my Android box.

I install Kodi 17.6 from the Play store, then use the updater to update to Kodi 18 beta 4. I go into the repository, install the latest MediaPortal plugin (the one that was fixed in the last day or two) and as soon as it is installed, Kodi crashes. Every time I reopen Kodi, it crashes on the start screen. I haven't even got as far as to put the settings in.

I noticed that the latest Milhouse build (28-10) has the Android fix - could this be related.

I'm afraid I have no idea how to get Kodi logs from an Android box. Happy to read around and work it out if needed.

Same here. LE 8.90.006 / MP PVR 3.5.9.2 / RPi 3B+

Log here. Happy to test or get further data.

Thanks for the crash log. Not sure why the addon suddenly crashes. It is not obvious from the log file.

I will need to update my Linux build environment to be able to debug this. Ik will first try to reproduce this under Linux before I will focus on LibreElec.

Probably the same crash as on the pi (during loading of the addon). I'm not sure yet which change is causing this. The android fix was only a compile fix in the RTSP code, so this won't cause this crash.

Crash is caused by https://github.com/kodi-pvr/pvr.mediapor...l.cpp#L442 on all platforms.

I've pushed a fix in addon version 3.5.11 that should mitigate the crash.
The crash occurred inside Kodi when the addon returned a NULL pointer as result of the "GetConnectionString"call.
I'm now returning an empty string instead to prevent this crash.

Is this addon 3.5.11 also available for CoreELEC? Where can I get this update? Or do I have to wait?
