Amazon VOD crashes Kodi UI. Kodi app / UI restarts when any Amazon video is played.

  • Hello there,

    Hope you are doing well!. I am new to Libreelec and have recently installed Libreelec 12.2.0 on Asus NUC 14 Essential mini PC. I installed Amazon VOD plugin and configured it with my amazon account. When I try to play and movies, the Kodi UI crashes and starts with the Libreelec startup sceen and loads Kodi again. I tried all the following troubleshooting steps and found similar issues on every possible setting that I can do,

    1. Removed the Widevine CDM folder (/storage/.kodi/cdm must) as specified in the Libreelec release notes
    2. Changed all the Player/souce combinations in Amazon VOD add-on settings
    3. Removed and installed older vesrions of the Widevine
    4. Disabled widevine in InputStream helper add-on

    It was working fine in Libreelec 12.0.2 on a different Intel PC that I had ealier.

    How to reproduce

    Steps to reproduce the behavior:

    1. Open Amazon VOD
    2. Play any video
    3. See error / UI crashes and restarts the Kodi app

    Double busy dialog is aborted.

    There is a work around with merge of #27102 in Kodi Omega. Wait until Kodi is bumped for LE 12.2 nightlies (no PR yet).
