V19 update? Python 3 compatibility.

[Yellowsub2]

Hi thanks for the great work for this addon. Will this addon be updated for V19? Python 3? I am getting errors with import ctypes init.py cannot import name union from line 8. i am running Windows10 and Kodi V19. I've managed to get a couple of other addons working for Py3 but I'm a noob and this is beyond my current knowledge. Error Contents: cannot import name 'Union' from 'ctypes' (C:\Program Files\Kodi\system\python\Lib\ctypes_init_.py) Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\All\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\addons\plugin.video.iptv.recorder\main.py", line 10, in import ctypes

I have worked a bit on the compatibility and ask a pull request : #39

I have not tested it on Matrix, so I am not sure that your problem is really solved (and there may be some other issues).
Edit : I have tested it and yes, there is errors so it won't be ok with juste these changes.

Hi, any news with the python 3 in kodi matrix?
Thanks

The initial author of this plugin seems inactive. Even if I am not working on it at this time, I have forked his repo and updated it to support kodi matrix : https://github.com/Dobi-Dev/plugin.video.iptv.recorder

Thanks Dobi-Dev,
I have download your plugin but unable to install. Got a wrong structure error
I m running kodi 19.0-Alpha1 (18.9.701) on macbook
I m not a developer just a user, is there a walk around this?
Thanks

[Dobi-Dev]

I will check that tonight if I can.

Thank you. In witch platform are you using iptv recorder? and kodi version?

[Dobi-Dev]

I was on windows. I can't tell you which kodi version since I havec uninstalled it since. I will try on the latest version.

[Dobi-Dev]

Can you try to download again the following zip file : https://github.com/Dobi-Dev/plugin.video.iptv.recorder/releases/download/v0.2.0/plugin.video.iptv.recorder-matrix.zip and install it ?

[helio58]

@Dobi-Dev , YES its working. I personally like this add-on very much.
Thank you for taking your time. Thank you.

This is working on Matrix, but is missing the skin Estuary for IPTV recorder. Any why to add the skin? Running in POP OS Linux

[Dobi-Dev]

I have removed it since I was not using it and I didn't know what feature it brings.
At this time, I can't try to add it again since I am not at home due to covid ...
