I completely understand the frustration with the .strm file method; it is a lot of manual work just to get a playlist running. If you find the SoundCloud add-on too unreliable for your library, another approach is to simply download the tracks you want and add them as local files. I use dvsnackvideo.com to grab clips and audio from social platforms for my own Kodi library. Once the files are local, creating an intelligent playlist takes seconds and you don't have to worry about broken streams or complicated metadata scraping.

ou are right to be cautious. Downgrading the library is difficult in LibreELEC because of the read only filesystem and it would likely break other dependencies. The responsibility lies with Plex as their official add-on uses outdated code that has not kept pace with modern Python security changes. Since LibreELEC stays current with Python libraries, they will not roll back the system for one add-on. OSMC will likely face the same issue, so using a well-maintained alternative like PlexKodiConnect is the most stable path forward for your Pi 2.

The error you're seeing is actually a known compatibility issue between the Plex add-on and the newer version of the urllib3 module included in recent LibreELEC/Kodi builds. The VerifiedHTTPSConnection name was removed in urllib3 v2.0, which is what's breaking the script's 'bundled' packages.
