Python 3 in Kodi 19

[TeamB 2438]

Just a heads up, if you use the bleeding edge nightly builds of Kodi you may soon see add-ons stop working.

 

Kodi 19 is switching to Python 3, it looks like the pull request to merge this into master went through last night:

 

https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/16116

 

This means soon the nightly builds of Kodi 19 will have Python 3 and a lot of add-ons will break.

I can confirm that breakage happened on October 16 for me. That's why I have a test system, for masochistic discoveries such as this.

It killed Emby, a few others and even kodi-send (which only needs to be pointed back to Python 2.7 libraries anyway).

EmbyCon from the beta repo should work with the new python 3 Kodi 19 matrix nightly builds

[artstar 17]

When was that released? I tested that out last night but it wouldn't even install. Can't say I bothered to investigate much further though.

I uploaded it to the Kodi Matrix Beta repo a few days ago.

 

It is currently 1.10.1 in the matrix beta repo.

 

Make sure you do a update on your addons to get the latest version of the repo and it should then show up.

I thought I had but yep, I'll give it another shot. Always up for a challenge in the name of science.

Apologies sir. Been a little busy at work but I will try this out shortly and report back.
