Plugin.video.themoviedb.helper: [Bug] Home Widget(Next Aired Library)

[Blurayx]

When I create a Next Aired Library widget on the home screen. After restarting Kodi it disappears.
it also happens when I restore skin settings from the backup.

Setup:
macOS
Nvidia Shield TV

After restaring Kodi

Thanks

Ah I remember there was a similar issue in the old version. I'll see if I can find the issue which contained the fix.

Found the old issue here: https://github.com/jurialmunkey/skin.arctic.horizon/issues/119

But maybe it isn't the same because I've already got the fix in the code for v4
I'll do some digging and see what I can figure out.

Can you get me a debug log of this happening. I don't appear to be able to recreate the issue.

Thanks 🙂

Okay trying something out. Hopefully it works.

Can you install latest master version then restart Kodi and see if my latest changes help?

[Blurayx]

Hi, jurialmunkey

Unfortunately, Next Aired Home-Widget still not working. Creating Airing Today Home-Widget works without issues

After restarting Kodi. As you can see no issues with Airing Today. I hope this helps.

Thanks

Damn. It was a bit of a long shot though.

Are you still getting these errors in the log?

Just wondering if it is related or coincidental.

Also, could you download this testing version from the test_log branch and then get me a log using that:
https://github.com/jurialmunkey/plugin.video.themoviedb.helper/archive/test_log.zip

I added a few extra logging things to see what is happening.

[Blurayx]

Here is the log as requested🙂

Thanks, that definitely confirmed the issue for me - the only issue is how to fix it (or rather how to work around what is a well known bug python's inbuilt datetime module).

Can you try latest master version that I just pushed now? According to a few python bug report threads this should fix the issue (though I'm skeptical but its worth trying - just wish I was able to recreate the issue so I could test myself).

[Blurayx]

Success. After instaling the latest master, Reloaded skin. Next Aired Library widgets appeared on the home screen. working perfectly now. Thank you for fixing it so quickly 😀

After reloading the skin

[jurialmunkey]

Oh wow! I'm surprised it worked. Let me know if it pops up again but hopefully this is the solution!

[jurialmunkey]

Oh wait maybe try restarting Kodi and make sure that it doesn't happen after a restart not just a reload? I think this error is only likely to happen on start-up.

I tested restarting Kodi on the Nvidia Shield TV & macOS before I posted my results 😀

Oh excellent! Thanks so much for testing!
