LE 10 Beta on Raspberry Pi 4 not parsing autoexec arguments

I just upgraded my Raspberry Pi 4 from LE 9.2.6 to 10.0b1 . With 9.2.6 I was running the autoexec.py for automatically starting my addon. With Kodi 19 this method was deprecated in favor of a service.autoexec approach. I converted a Windows 10 machine running Kodfi 19 and my Raspberry Pi 4 running LE 10.0b1 to the service.autoexec solution. With Kodi on Windows it works perfectly. With LE on the Raspberry Pi I am not seeing the arguments on my ActivateWindow command being parsed properly. I instrumented the addon to see what is being passed.

Here's the autoexec.py file which service.autoexec is calling:

import xbmc

xbmc.sleep(2000)

xbmc.log('Kodi Autoexec Service Started.', xbmc.LOGINFO)

xbmc.executebuiltin("ActivateWindow(10025,plugin://plugin.video.mezzmo/?contentdirectory=http://192.168.0.34:53168/ContentDirecto…tID=taz1l0z1l13)")

Here's what the addon is seeing under Kodi on Windows and LE 10.

Kodi on Windows:

Addon args. {'contentdirectory': ['http://192.168.0.34:53168/ContentDirectory/control'], 'mode': ['server'], 'objectID': ['taz1l0z1l13']}

LE 10:

Addon args {'contentdirectory': ['http://192.168.0.34:53168/ContentDirecto…tID=taz1l0z1l13']}

LibreElec isn't parsing beyond the first argument.

My apologies in advance if I posted this in the wrong forum. if so, can the moderator move it ?

Thanks,

Jeff

I did some additional debugging and the issue appears to be related to urllib within LibreElec. I created a simple script and ran it from the Python REP under Python on Windows and Python on LibreElec :

Python 3.7.7 (tags/v3.7.7:d7c567b08f, Mar 10 2020, 10:41:24) [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32

import urllib.request, urllib.parse, urllib.error

arg1 = "?contentdirectory=http://192.168.0.34:53168/ContentDirecto…tID=taz1l0z1l13"

args = urllib.parse.parse_qs(arg1)

print(arg1)

?contentdirectory=http://192.168.0.34:53168/ContentDirecto…tID=taz1l0z1l13

print(str(args))

{'?contentdirectory': ['http://192.168.0.34:53168/ContentDirectory/control'], 'mode': ['server'], 'objectID': ['taz1l0z1l13']}

Python 3.8.8 (default, Mar 11 2021, 14:17:31) [GCC 10.2.0] on linux

import urllib.request, urllib.parse, urllib.error

arg1 = "?contentdirectory=http://192.168.0.34:53168/ContentDirecto…tID=taz1l0z1l13"

args = urllib.parse.parse_qs(arg1)

print(arg1)

?contentdirectory=http://192.168.0.34:53168/ContentDirecto…tID=taz1l0z1l13

print(str(args))

{'?contentdirectory': ['http://192.168.0.34:53168/ContentDirecto…tID=taz1l0z1l13']}

On LibreElec arg1 is not parsed to a dictionary. Under Python on Windows it is.

Yep. Found that just about the time you posted this. I added the following modification to my addon code:

argmod = sys.argv[2][1:].replace(';','&')

args = urllib.parse.parse_qs(argmod)

It was no longer handling the ; separator. It is working now, thanks.
