Kodi 19 : installation issue

[adyb0]

Hello,

This plugin cant be installed on kodi 19.
I seems that python 3 upgrade can be the problèm.

Regards

[tbrek]

You can fix depedencies yourself:

<requires> <import addon="xbmc.python" version="3.0.0" /> <import addon="script.module.xbmcswift2"/> <import addon="script.module.requests"/> <import addon="script.module.chardet" /> <import addon="script.module.pytz" /> <import addon="script.module.dateutil" /> <import addon="script.module.kodi-six" /> </requires>

[adyb0]

No i'm not able to fix it by myself. I already try this in addon.xml
<import addon="xbmc.python" version="3.0.0" />

Drop channel = channel.decode("utf8") from line 8. Python 3 does not need that.

[adyb0]

No, something goes Wrong.
I think i find someone With the same problem in a fork PR. Dobi-Dev@fd4e0a0

Here's my fixed fork https://github.com/tbrek/plugin.video.iptv.recorder/tree/matrix for 19.0

[adyb0]

I will try if one off them work.
https://github.com/tbrek/plugin.video.iptv.recorder/tree/matrix
https://github.com/Dobi-Dev/plugin.video.iptv.recorder (with or without pr Dobi-Dev#1)
https://github.com/Publish3r/repository.kodi.matrix/tree/main/plugin.video.iptv.recorder

Maybe xmltv format change something. I dont know.

This is one is mine and it works. I have just tried. Showing list of programs and records with no issues.

[adyb0]

nothing realy work.
Thanks. I will find another solution for the moment. Maybe with streamlink or something like that.

I think it yours are the closest to the goal but not. I had file with no data inside. In case you wanted logs :

Can you post part of your EPG, and part of m3u file? Make sure there's no passwords, tokens etc.

@adrien-ber can we move that discussion into my fork please? It will be much easier for me to track it down.

[tbrek]

BTW. Updated my fork, feel free to try again.

[oatmealm]

@tbrek hi. wondering what is the status of this plugin? Is you fork the way to go?
