    when running it directly from the TV menu, works fine. this used to work before, not sure when it started, maybe after upgrade to the latest kodi 20.1

    anyone has the same issue?

    this is on generic libre elec latest version

  • true, not libre elec problem, but it seems its kodi problem..

    yatse developer claims something is broken in kodi after I uploaded him yatse log

    Problem with favorites - Support - Yatse community

    I could probably save it as local favorite of yatse instance for every phone I'm using and every kodi I'm using, but the problem I have is that yatse is not the only thing failing, I am using openhab (smart home platform) that uses the same api as yatse, and fails on the same thing (cannot run some stuff from favorites, like pvr channels, xsp playlists, scripts...)

    if you remember me from the other thread, we managed with some workarounds and scripting...

    but I cannot keep writing scripts and rules for every new playlist or tv channel that I want to execute remotely, so I really hope team kodi will fix the api side...
