Bug: 4.0.0 musicvideo selection via node

[quickmic 1703]

No difference here. And I spotted a new odd behavior. I upload a new video, one moment...

But I think we should stop here. I think this is all related to kodi bugs.

Could you please try to create an advancedsettings.xml and increase the curl timeout like in the example below?
 
It has to be stored in your userdata folder and Kodi needs a restart to recognize it.
 

<advancedsettings>
<network>
<curlretries>20</curlretries>             <!-- Amount of retries for certain failed libcurl operations (e.g. timeout) -->
</network>
</advancedsettings>

I will try it asap but I think this has to wait till next weekend.

 

btw, I'm currently modding the Kodi code to fix those performance issues.

I hope I can convince the Kodi programmers to apply the patches as soon as I finished them.

This will take a while but in the end, this will be a clean solution.

Can you try this version here and let me know if it helps with your situation?

[quickmic 1703]

Sorry for the delayed response but it was a busy week.

I've tested again with 4.03 or should I test with 4.01 as you referenced.

 

Videos selected via Genre filter starts playing when I just select them in the list

Enabling the play next video thingy in kodi will break this play function.

Context-menu "Play from here" does not work either, so looks situation is still identical.

[Angelblue05 4132]

Does it result in the same error? Are you able to provide an updated log with 4.0.3?

 

I've tested here, play next for music videos works. But I also only have two music videos in my library.

 

We found a small bug in music videos, but it's mostly regarding the info dialog. You'd need to repair your music video library in Kodi to apply the fix. I don't think it will impact your issue, however.

4.03

 

Could you drop videodb and resync? 

 

I know you have uncountable music videos, so a sql editing would be also enough. You just have to open the myvideo116.db, open the "path" table and remove "metadata.local" from the musicvideo row and save your changes.

 

( https://sqlitebrowser.org/dl/ is also available vor Linux )

 

[quickmic 1703]

Here is the first log, without modifications so far.

 

I forgot, you told me to mod the advancedsettings.

 

This will be the next log, and finally I will mod the DB for the 3rd one...

kodi.log

[quickmic 1703]

2nd log with

        <network>
                <curlretries>20</curlretries>             <!-- Amount of retries for certain failed libcurl operations (e.g. timeout) -->
        </network>

btw, I always try to start the songs via context menu "Play from here"

Let me know if should use a different approach...

 

Continuing with db mod...

kodi2.log

[Angelblue05 4132]

You can use the normal way, with play next automatically enabled.

 

Different error now at least. Improvements. Now we see the underlying error in your case. It seems that our redirect is not taking. Did we ever confirm if you had this issue on another Kodi platform that is not OSMC or LE?

[quickmic 1703]

I think we did, but I give it another shot on linux Mint. Comes in a few Minutes, hold on...

[quickmic 1703]

Here is the log for Mint.

I used the same approach -> "Play from here" so the logs are absolutely comparable.

 

I still havn't modded the db yet.

 

And to be honest, I guess it worked once, right after a reboot of my laptop but I was not focused while this one time only successfully test. Maybe I clicked something different. I try to reproduce the situation when it seemed to work.

All other 5-10 tests raised the same issues as on osmc.

[Angelblue05 4132]

Ok thank you. We will ping you when we have something for you to test. We may have an idea on how to fix it.

[quickmic 1703]

ok, thx.

Final info for now. I can confirm, right after reboot I can play the songs for one time. Then never again.

kodi-mint-after-reboot-working.log

[Angelblue05 4132]

Yes that log looks like how mine looks normally. Strange.

[quickmic 1703]

Yes, very.

btw, on osmc it never works, even after reboot. Should I still give the db mod a shot?

[Angelblue05 4132]

Yes please. If it's not too much trouble. It's also part of 4.0.3 if you repair your music video library.

[quickmic 1703]

No Problem, I'm familiar with sqlitebrowser...

 

But actually, it looks already correct.

Can you test 4.0.6a

 

I think maybe it will resolve your playback issues with music videos. Keep me posted.

[quickmic 1703]

Unfortunately it doesn't (at least not stable), but the behavior seems different now.

With enabled: play next video option:

I see for a few seconds emby-loading.mp4. Then Kodi actually starts playing musicvideo (mostly), but sometimes Kodi directly crashes or lags.

Rightclick -> play from here never worked.

Sometimes the playlist is loaded, sometimes not.

Sometimes Kodi freezes for around 30 Seconds and so on.

I'll run several tests to get a pattern.

Please provide your Kodi logs for your testing.

[Angelblue05 4132]

Could you retry with the latest beta version? There were some issues that have been resolved since. Let me know, thank you.

[quickmic 1703]

I'm on a business trip till end of next week. I'll try asap.

Thanks for your efforts!
