Python dependency could not be satisfied

[Fabio8G2]

Hi, on tvbox (with Android 7) and kodi 19.0, install error: 'the dependency on xbmc.python version 2.14.0 could not be satisfied'.
Any fix?
Thanks!

[NeverWise]

This repository is very poorly maintained due to the time I have available so I don't know if I will release a fix.

[Fabio8G2]

This sound so sad! Can i help you? I was wondering: if is a dipendency issue, install the correct python version could be the solution?
Or the python version used for the addon is not supported by kodi 19.0? This means that the entire plug-in must be write using the supported python version?

[NeverWise]

I don't know what is the real reason but if I were to attempt a fix the first thing I would do is increase the version of the xbmc.python library. The addon code should be fine and compatible.

[Fabio8G2]

Ok! I'll try to update the python library! Thanks!

[Fabio8G2]

i was wondering: if i have the latest version of kodi (19.1) whith the latest xbmc.python version, why an higher version (2.14.0) is needed?

[Fabio8G2]

Ok now i'm a bit confused. Kodi 19.1 cames with python 3 which is newer than the version needed for the addon...
it seems that the python version used for the addon is not supported by kodi 19.1. Is it possible?

[Fabio8G2]

according with the changelog file, the addon is compatibile with python 3 e 2 since the 1.0.7 version...
what if i would change the import instruction in the addon.xml? Could work?

[Fabio8G2]

I edited both addon.xml files in script.module.neverwise and in plugin.video.dplay changing the requested xbmc.python to the version 3.0.0.
The script.module is now installed, but the installation of dplay plugin fail due to an invalid structure.

[Fabio8G2]

I finally installed dplay but it doesn't work....Here is the log:

Don't know if it can help but the addon hasn't the Dplay thumbnail icon.

Any ideas?

[NeverWise]

At this point I think it's possible that the add-on code is not compatible with the newer versions of Kodi.

[Fabio8G2]

Removed iconImage and thumbnailImage. Use setArt().
Syntax: # setArt(values)
listitem.setArt({ 'poster': 'poster.png', 'banner' : 'banner.png' })

the removed method was colled in script.module, right?!

[Fabio8G2]

OK...it works, but no audio...
I changed the old method with the new one in neverwise.py....then i reinstalled both, script.module and dplay addon.
On open it goes straith to the list of contents, there's no menus or search function. But i can see programs list and i can play but without audio...
The log seems fine...

i found something in the log:

For the audio problem I don't know how to help you.
You can try to find if there is another stream that works but if it isn't there I don't know how to help you. :-(

Scusa se cambio lingua, ma così mi viene meglio. Intanto grazie per le risposte. Hai almeno una vaga idea di quale potrebbe essere il problema? Il warning contenuto nel log potrebbe dare un'idea della causa oppure no?
