Good day, Packmans! Some of you may recall I sent this bug report in a while ago.
This bug seems to have been a Python 2 bug. With the multimedia repos up again, I was pleased to install Kodi 19 Matrix last night. It took me a while to get all my addons set up after that. The new YouTube addon uses Python 3. This bug doesn't seem to appear with the Python 3 version of the addon, I was able to install it without any problems. Be warned if you upgrade, I found out that one of my favourite addons is no longer compatible with Matrix, I guess it will take most people are while to convert their code to Python 3. I have closed this bug on Bugzilla as won't fix. Kind regards, Steven.
