[fritsch]

Please replace: xbmc.Player( xbmc.PLAYER_CORE_MPLAYER ).play( url, item )
with: xbmc.Player().play( url, item )

Best regards

Unfortunately this change actually hard-crashes Kodi (17.0-rc2):

You need to adjust your add-on. That's why I told it 12 months ago.

@fritsch I'm not sure what you mean. The report above is what I experienced after removing the xbmc.PLAYER_CORE_MPLAYER parameter from resources/lib/pandaplayer.py as you suggested. I guess something else must be going on to cause Kodi to crash entirely. Curl should definitely not be capable of doing so.

Exactly. I just told you back in time that the mplayer bits were gone. Now one year later it seems other stuff changed. Note the above was never meant as a fix but as a heads up: we changed sth. Am 11.01.2017 3:26 vorm. schrieb "Ryan Hayle" <notifications@github.com>:
