Fix CDDB lookups #25700

Eiki · January 12, 2025 at 3:13 PM

Hi all

Deepl is my friend, please excuse any confusion this may cause.

I've been having a problem displaying the CD information for a long time. The problem seems to have been analysed and solved, but has not yet been implemented in LibreElec. LibreELEC-RPi4.aarch64-12.0-nightly-20250103-87e4eed is the latest release I have tested.

The problem was nicely described here: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/25700
Here you can find the necessary changes: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/comm…0ed661bb9fbf33b

I have tried to make the changes in xbmc/network/cddb.cpp myself, but have not found the file on my RPi4. Must be a source file?

Who can help me, who knows the answer? When will I find the fixed CDDB query in a release? Can I hope for a nightly, for 21.2 or do I have to wait for 22.0?

Many thanks in advance!

The patch was merged in Kodi master branch (Piers) but hasn't been backported, so it won't be in the Kodi 21.2 release which I'm expecting to be tagged tonight with an LE 12.2 release to follow-on sometime in the next week.

LE13 nightlies are here: https://test.libreelec.tv/13.0/ (scroll down for latest files). I won't ever promise a nightly is stable, but at this point it's an accurate term. I've personally been running them for a long time.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Ok, I understand that the patch will not be in the 21.2/12.2.
I'm not afraid of a nightly build, but is it worth it for me? Is the patch available in LE13?

LE13 nightlies track Kodi master, so yes.

Works perfectly with LE13, thank you!
