(ONLY FOR SERIOUS TESTERS) Bleeding Edge Testing Releases

Ok we think we found a bug in the Home stuff, so can you guys try .100a5?

Thanks!

@keithah - I have given .100a5 a run on my iMac and can report this has not resolved the ā€˜Home Screen/Login Bug’…

Symptoms/Issue…

  • with .100a5 on the first run after addon update/install I can login to only the Admin account only. my other 4 users do not respond to the ā€˜enter key’ to enter into a users login profile.

  • with .100a5 if I quite and exit Plex/Kodi on 2nd run I do not appear to be able to access even the main admin account (enter does not work on the admin account)

  • switching back to .99 entering user accounts from the login window works just fine

I have run both .099 and .100a5 from the same Kodi logfile file uploader. I’m not that familiar with logfiles, let me know if you need a logfile from the differing Plex addon versions (ie. do you require a logfile specifically after running .99 and another logfile from .100a5?)

Here to assist if you need more

EDIT: oppps link to log may help :slight_smile: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23775255/

just run again to create individual logs from individual versions *note just realised that ā€˜escape/backspace/delete’ when hovering over a user that does not respond to enter does not work from esc/delete either (so cannot exit the addon).

individual log here for .100a5 from launch to Kodi quit, all logs are from a fresh install of the latest Krypton RC2

.100a5 = http://paste.ubuntu.com/23775306/

.99 = http://paste.ubuntu.com/23775319/

@mini.PLEX unfortunately you forgot to enable debug mode, so we need you to re-run that again. :slight_smile:

Instructions on enabling it are here: https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/246913/getting-kodi-logs

@keithah - take 2 with debugging enabled… hope they help

.100a5 logs here http://paste.ubuntu.com/23784011/

.99 logs here http://paste.ubuntu.com/23784035/

@mini.PLEX Can you try .100a7 now? If it still doesn’t work, a debug log from .100a7 would be great, don’t need .99 again. Thanks!

Bingo ! Solved .100a7 allows me to access my other users. Anything else you need from this just let me know.

woohoo! Thanks for responding so quick. If you can poke around the release and make sure nothing else is broken, I’d appreciate it. @HitsVille too, and anyone else who can. Thanks guys!

@keithah Have had a look through your changeling list, all seems ok from my perspective.

One thing that I have continuously noticed (off topic please forgive) from the launch of this addon a few months back now, every now and again I encounter missing poster art, which is present. I have seen other users report the issue and even upload videos to demonstrate the bug… so have always presumed it is being worked on. However its been a while now, so have added the video attached to demonstrate the poster bug I encounter when scrolling through Home screen sections (please excuse the cough)… if you would prefer me to post this else where I shall do (delete this post if so).

Hey Keithah. Been laid low with the flu for a while. Will install the latest tomorrow and will report back if I see any issues :slight_smile:

@mini.PLEX We have it listed as an issue, but it appears to be a Kodi bug, and super hard to track down.

@HitsVille looking forward to your feedback! If you still have issues, please post a log as well.

We have another report of enter bug being fixed for them. @HitsVille or anyone else besides @mini.plex, if you’ve done any testing let us know! We want to push this new build out to repo ASAP. Thanks!

Hey @keithah.
Yes all seems fixed here too. :slight_smile:
I have still had it crash twice in the last few days whilst switching users and it seems to be limited to actually testing the feature… By that I mean in normal usage its fine, but switching users a few times in the space of a minute or so and I get the random crash. (but that’s definitely not normal usage lol)
If it happens again I will try to grab logs. But yeah for me it can be pushed out.

The app is working fine for me, only bug I’ve spotted is the one mentioned above where a poster will randomly not appear.

Thanks guys!

Thanks guys!

Latest release is crashing constantly when switching users. I don’t think that’s stable enough to be pushed to the repo. Will get some logs.

EDIT: Ignore me, think a recent build of Kodi (RC3) enabled component debugging. Think the tv can’t cope with the amount of logging and crashes when switching users as doesn’t occur when off.

This is a minor gripe…

Why is the login screen such a low resolution? Everything else is crystal clear!

For one reason or another my kodiplexconnect addon got corrupted so the Plex For Kodi release came at just the right moment for me.

I couldn’t get 0.99 version to work at all, tried this bleeding edge release and the addon at least loaded and worked. I found the performance a bit sluggish - but then I was still running 16.1 Kodi with potentially corrupted database/addon in the background.

I wiped my install and put LibreELEC 7.90 Alpha onto my NUC, and just installed this release - works perfectly for me, and the ā€˜sluggish performance’ seems to have gone as well.

I wouldn’t say I’ve stress tested and tried to find bugs, but since the 0.99 version on the repo wouldn’t even launch for me, its a big step up. I haven’t found any issues with ā€˜normal’ use over the last week either, its not massive amount of feedback but I thought I’d chime in :slight_smile:

Hey guys, we got .100a8 posted, this hopefully is the last release before we push it to repo. Can everyone test and make sure they don’t see any issues? Especially folks who had connecting issues. Thanks!
