Kodi 19.4 crash on startup if IPTV Simple enabled

[vawaver]

Based on yesterday's update on Manjaro KDE Plasma 5.25.4 I want to report the problem.
Kodi 19.4 crashed on start up.
When I removed iptvsimple addon (or it is not enabled) Kodi starts fine.
The addon is installed from the AUR source.
Thank you.

What’s AUR?

Do you have a full debug log? Maybe a crash log too?

[stylemistake]

Stack trace: https://p.smx.lt/knGFc52

AUR package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kodi-addon-pvr-iptvsimple

Its build script: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=kodi-addon-pvr-iptvsimple&id=d2a54eeb390c313dbbfa7afc1fb72ff1810c51ea

[phunkyfish]

Nothing useful in the stack trace. Can you provide a full debug log for kodi?

[stylemistake]

Here's the full debug log https://p.smx.lt/aWXDO5w

There's nothing useful in it as well, other than crashing on this log entry:

2022-06-25 18:42:35.356 T:47838 INFO : AddOnLog: pvr.iptvsimple: Create Starting separate client update thread...

Which is consistent with the stack trace I posted earlier.

[phunkyfish]

Is there a link to the build log from the package?

I think the build could be wrong. On Linux the dependencies should not be built. It should use the system packages instead. I don’t know what the issue is exactly (not a Linux user).

I think this is crashing in python due to known python sub interpreter bugs in 3.10 (see xbmc/xbmc#21544 for background and possible solutions)

Same problem here on arch linux, kodi 19.4, python 3.10.5 (which is the fixed version after previous python 3.10.x issues).
Downgrading to kodi-addon-pvr-iptvsimple 19.1.0 works fine. Nothing interesting in the logs, kodi simply crashes with kodi-addon-pvr-iptvsimple 19.1.1

Can you run Kodi in a debugger to pin point where the issue is?

Here is the debug log from kodi start to crash:

Why is there no playlist configured?

[cuh7b5]

Why is there no playlist configured?

Because this is not my main kodi setup but another machine for testing purposes, close to the stock kodi mostly with the default settings and not many addons installed. Now I configured a playlist and guide. It also hangs with this setting. Here is the debug log:

I'm also running into this same issue under arch...I have tried downgrading python and kodi both with no luck...I also tried downgrading to different builds of this addon with no luck.

[haydenbroadhead]

i've tried the last 10 commits in the aur and either crashes straight away or crashes after configuring iptv simple.

Anyone got a working setup with Manjaro/Arch?

[nmars-cloud]

hi my comment on this i have the same issue i installed flatpak version kodi arch linux and working

[haydenbroadhead]

how did you install iptv simple? @nmars-cloud

Edit: Managed to get Matrix working with iptv simple 👍 I figured it out you can just enable the iptv simple addon in the settings. For steps to install Kodi via flatpak: https://kodi.wiki/view/User:Davu/

I have KODI 19.4. from Flathub too.
Try to Enable it first.
Program addons -> IPTV Manager

[nmars-cloud]

i add something maybe somebody interested kodi appimage link https://github.com/cmatomic/Appimage-003/releases iptv simple is working on this

[Davetheraveuk]

@vawaver -- Same problem for me too mate. I am using ArcoLinuxB (Arch Linux derivative).
Link here: (#634)

[stylemistake]

I wish containerization and bundling old python wasn't the solution.

[NicolasThierion]

Same problem for me. Kodi 19.4, on Manjaro (arch based)

[ilikenwf]

I'm thinking this may be related to #507 - many Arch users have -Wp,-D_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS enabled globally in makepkg.conf.

I modified the PKGBUILD locally to fix this and will be notifying the maintainer about it. A temp fix is to remove this from the CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS, and CXXFLAGS in /etc/makepkg.conf

[cuh7b5]

kodi-addon-pvr-iptvsimple-19.2.2-3 works fine on Arch linux.

[ilikenwf]

Only if you don't have certain flags setup in your /etc/makepkg.conf for higher security.

[mafftor]

still crashes, kodi 20

[vawaver]

Kodi 20 + kodi-addon-pvr-iptvsimple 20.8.1-1 on Arch Linux work fine.

[phunkyfish]

still crashes, kodi 20

Can you run Kodi in a debugger please and provide a backtrace?

[ilikenwf]

You have to be sure to unset your CXXFLAGS CFLAGS and LDFLAGS in makepkg.conf in Arch, custom options tend to break it.

Thanks!

I couldn't find the file /etc/makepkg.conf
It does not exist.

Symptoms: when I add m3u playlist, enable it, after 3 seconds Kodi freezes and restarts, once it is started it is cycled and repeat rebooting, in the Kodi.log nothing about errors, just information that 100+ channels loaded.
To stop this endless loop, I have to disable the add on quickly to interrupt rebooting.

In addition, the progress in the right top corner always 0% of loading channels

This is not related to this issue, you are using LibreElec. Please visit their forum for support.

[mafftor]

Could you try this list?

https://iptv.org.ua/iptv/ua.m3u

It works on Mac using VNC

Looks like it breaks the system because of additional greeting advertisement or whatever it is

Cheers!

[mafftor]

Fixed!
I've downloaded the playlist and there is an extend of the list with a enormous number of channels. Just removed the extend and 193 channels loaded successfully!

Do you plan to implement limitation to prevent freezing? It is a good thing to improve I think

[phunkyfish]

Can you supply a full debug log of the freeze/crash.
