  • YouTube add-on

    Ok, this is pretty weird. Regardless the other Pi on the network, I checked its YouTube version and it's running the following:

    Running v7.3.0+beta.1
    Kodi: v19.5 (Kodi Matrix)
    Python: v3.8.9

    So I reverted or downgraded the failing one to the same build version - v7.3.0+beata.1 - and the sound again works. Interestingly, I noticed the audio stream on the one that was failing to have the stream information:


    Thanks,

    Ok, that didn't work.

    Notably, the "OSError: [Errno 99] Cannot assign requested address". I don't understand why the script is attempting to access 192.168.1.114:81 because the IP of the Pi is 192.168.1.182.

    Perhaps this is a clue?

    Edit: I have discovered the IP 192.168.1.114 is for a different Pi on my network. Why is one Pi trying to access another Pi?!


    Thanks.

  • YouTube add-on

    Hi all,

    Since I was able to get YouTube up and running, it seems to have dropped its sound feed/stream. The TV itself 'clicks' when using the LibreELEC Kodi menus, so the sound is working; it just seems the app itself is not.

    Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone have any pointers?


    Thanks,

  • Netflix KeyError: ESN

    Hi,

    Netflix hasn't worked for a while so today I attempted to fix it.

    • The Netflix app version is 1.23.4+matrix [by libdev, jojo, asciidisco, caphm, castagnait)
    • LibreELEC (official). Version 10.0.4. Architecture: RPi4.arm
    • Kodi info: Build 19.5.0. Git 19.5-Matrix. Compiled: 2023-01-07

    I pasted the log into Pastebin ("ix.io is taking a break"):

    • I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Failed. Same error.
    • I attempted to sign in using the key file. Failed with the noted error above.
    • I attempted to sign in using the username/password option. Failed "Due to website protections at the moment the login with credentials is not available."

    Any pointers would be greatly received.

    p.s. I dug this out of an old forum which may or may not be related:

    And, looking on the developer's Git page, there seemed to be a manual fix for this esn issue (https://github.com/CastagnaIT/plu…bdc4d41c16d0233), so I manually updated the file: /storage/.kodi/addons/plugin.video.netflix/resources/lib/kodi/uixmldialog_esnwidevine.py - sadly to no avail:

  • YouTube add-on

    Hi,

    My YouTube add-on has stopped working, throwing an error "YouTube error: check the log for more information" when I try to search for something.

    I have manually added my own API keys (youtube.api.key, youtube.api.id, and youtube.api.secret) to the settings.xml in /storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.youtube/.

    This is the error message (ssh from raspberry pi4) from the kodi.log.

    All help is gratefully received.

    Thanks!

  • KidsTube on Kodi (or LibreElec)

    Quote from chewitt

    There are two YouTube apps in the Kodi repo; YouTube and Tubed - nothing specific for KidsTube. Any further discussion on them is best done in their respective add-on support threads in the Kodi forums.

    Hi,

    As "kids tube" only returns the posts (excluding this follow-up) I'm not sure such an add-on repository/repo has been built yet.

    Can you suggest the link to that add-on, please?


    Thanks,

    Adam.

  • Multiple network cards - remove from library error

    Quote from VLouis

    #dtoverlay=gpio-ir,gpio_pin=18 - That is for IR remote receiver what can be connected to the GPIO port!!!

    Read again what I wrote before...

    Disable the onboard wifi... by adding to the config.txt the "dtoverlay=disable-wifi" line

    Apologies, I had misread what you wrote.

    I updated the config.txt file and can confirm the onboard Wi-Fi card is disabled. I retired it and while Kodi did warn it couldn't find the file in the library, it resolved within a few seconds so I'm happy this is resolved.

    Thank you for your help.

  • Multiple network cards - remove from library error

    Hi,

    I have a Raspberry Pi 4. I added in an additional Linksys USB Wi-Fi dongle. For some reason, each time the Po boots, both the onboard network card and the Linksys dongle pick up a DHCP-assigned IP address. This is expected

    I wouldn’t imagine this would

    an issue; however, it seems the double IP address does causes routing issues with Kodi accessing the NAS file store.

    When I disconnect one of Wi-Fi cards through the Add-Ons menu, it restores the routing and the Pi can again access the files.

    Has anyone else experienced this?

    Is there any way I can disable just one network card?

    When I left one disabled it failed to pick up and IP so I guess there’s some weird conflict. But here’s the thing. In another room, I have the same setup, same Pi4, same Linksys Wi-Fi dongle and it isn’t an issue.

    What do you need from me to assist?

    Thanks!

    Correction. The one that doesn’t work is LibreElec (Official) v11.0.1 (RPi4.arm). I should also mention it displays all the local wifi networks.

    The one that does work is LibreElec (Official) v10.0.4 (RPi4.arm). This one does not display the local wifi networks - only the one it is connected to.
