Official FranceTV add-on bug in LE11 nightly - AttributeError: module 'xbmc' has no attribute 'translatePath'

Hello!

The official FranceTV add-on hs a typical bug these days:

Error Type: <class 'AttributeError'>
Error Contents: module 'xbmc' has no attribute 'translatePath'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/storage/.kodi/addons/plugin.video.francetv/addon_entry.py", line 21, in <module>
    from resources.lib.addon import FranceTVAddon
  File "/storage/.kodi/addons/plugin.video.francetv/resources/lib/addon.py", line 61, in <module>
    class FranceTVAddon:
  File "/storage/.kodi/addons/plugin.video.francetv/resources/lib/addon.py", line 64, in FranceTVAddon
    _ADDON_DIR = xbmc.translatePath(_ADDON.getAddonInfo("path"))
AttributeError: module 'xbmc' has no attribute 'translatePath'

Simple (simplistic?) fix: in

plugin.video.francetv/resources/lib/addon.py

add, where the existing imports are:

import xbmcvfs

and, line 65, change

    _ADDON_DIR = xbmc.translatePath(_ADDON.getAddonInfo("path"))

to

    _ADDON_DIR = xbmcvfs.translatePath(_ADDON.getAddonInfo("path"))

I'm a rusty coder, so that change may not be the best. It's what works for me after Googling for the error I was getting.

You get bonus credit if you submit the fix upstream to the add-on repo on GitHub

Here I think? https://github.com/melmorabity/plugin.video.francetv/

Makes sense, silly me!

https://github.com/melmorabity/pl…ancetv/issues/4

I've learned that I can directly fork, edit and make a PR without leaving the GitHub web interface.

My first fork and PR ever!

https://github.com/melmorabity/plugin.video.francetv/pull/5

What have you done? You've made me learn new tricks before it's even 7AM!

Another round of bonus points?

Let's see if the maintainer is still maintaining...

If not, you know your next move

Now, that would be pushing it!
Being able to fix a simple issue after a Google session and editing a single file is one thing.

Maintaining is quite another, one that is unrealistic, above my actual abilities, thus a bad thing!

Let's say that the maintainer is "on a short break", then! Still no news...

My eyesight is on a short break!
