MQTT Client for LE 11.0.6

Hogobarth · February 29, 2024 at 7:02 PM

Hi everyone,

I want to install a mqtt client on my LE.

Trying the kodi2mqtt addon (owagner) I get an error regarding wrong python version 2.19.0

As a prerequisite it is stated to have eclipse paho for python installed, which I do not know how to install without pip. I wonder if this causes the python dependency problem.

Any suggestions how to work around this?

Greets and many thanks in advance,

Flo

It sounds like you are using LE9 (K18) or LE10 (K19) which use Python2 for add-ons, while the add-on version that you are trying to use has been updated for Kodi Nexus (K20) or newer where Python3 is used. So you either need to source a Python2 compatible version of the add-on, or update to LE11 or a current LE12 nightly so Python3 is available.

Hi chewitt

Thanks for the quick reply!

Strange, my kodi currently displays version LE 11.0.6

But I will try an upgrade first to see if anything changes.

Runs on a Raspi3

In that case it could be the reverse and the add-on is looking for Python2 (K18 and older) when LE only offers Python3, and 2.19 is the add-on version not the Python version.

According to the kodi2mqtt support thread a Python 3 version is available.

Do in this case I would need to run a k18 version I guess...
