[RPi5] Video Add-on Python Issues

    Hi all,

    been looking around on the forum and google for a couple of hours but couldn't find a solution so decided to ask the experts :)
    I installed a rpi5 4GB yesterday with the latest stable LE12, installed widevine cdm, and 3 video channel addons: "ted talks" "vtm go" and "vrt max" . all 3 give python errors like these:

    =======================================================

    I installed latest nighty, updated everything there is to update, doesn't seem to change anything.
    Anyone got a suggestion?

    I'm coming from an odroid on LE11, addons run fine there

    tia,

    Mark

    hi! thanks for the feedback! Ok I'll go ask there
    was just wondering since it's a problem with 3 different addons, it seemed plausible to me the problem is in a python version or some other general thing I'm missing, seems weird to me that this issue arises in 3 different addons, that the problem would be with all 3 of them and not with the platform

    Correct, I didn't read till the end.

    Please provide a full debug log.

    How to post a log (wiki)

    1. Enable debugging in Settings>System Settings>Logging
    2. Restart Kodi
    3. Replicate the problem
    4. Generate a log URL (do not post/upload logs to the forum)

    use "Settings > LibreELEC > System > Paste system logs" or run "pastekodi" over SSH, then post the URL link

    Hey guys,

    thanks for picking this up, pasted a log in pastebin:

    tia for looking into this

    When looking at the end of the plugin support thread you see that

    a) the author seem to drop support

    b) there is an unofficial 5.1.0 that can be downloaded from here.

    After installing the 5.1.0 from zip in LE12 there is at least playing something.
