can't run plugin.initialize_gettext() ?

[gordielachance]

Hi romanvm !!!
I'm trying to build my first plugin with simpleplugin, it's my first time with Python too :)

My first tests are fine and i'm already getting some good results with the plugin.
I'm now trying to use localization :

# Create plugin instance
plugin = Plugin()

# initialize_gettext
_ = plugin.initialize_gettext()

But it crashes Kodi :

13:20:09 T:123145306673152 ERROR: EXCEPTION Thrown (PythonToCppException) : -->Python callback/script returned the following error<--
- NOTE: IGNORING THIS CAN LEAD TO MEMORY LEAKS!

-->End of Python script error report<--
13:20:09 T:140735162187776 ERROR: GetDirectory - Error getting plugin://plugin.audio.subsonic2/

Could you help me here ?

Thanks !

Some snippets from traceback and code are not informative. Show me your full plugin with all files.

here you are : http://pastebin.com/4sgwjUgd

Several notes:

1. Please carefully read add the docs, including API docs. Plugin class inherits from Addon so you don't need to use both. Also Addon class has several helper methods and properties to access addon data, so generally you don't need to access the underlying xbmcaddon.Addon class. Plugin settings are better accessed via instance properties. Numeric and boolean settings are automatically converted into respective Python types and vice versa.
2. You seem to be using some old version of simpleplugin library that does not have initialize_gettext method. The current version is 2.0.1 and can be downloaded from "Releases" tab.
3. In v.2+ the recommended way to add actions is via @plugin.action() decorator. This makes code more readable and Pythonic. The old method still works but it's less convenient IMO, so I've added the decorator.

The example plugin needs to be updated, but the documentation is current and should be your primary source of information.

Sorry, you can see the code here : https://github.com/gordielachance/plugin.audio.subsonic

[romanvm]

Have you read my reply above? Most probably you are using a very old version of SimplePlugin that does not support the method in question.

[gordielachance]

Thanks !
Perfect, it works. I've implemented your remarks.
Yet I don't know why SimplePlugin wasn't up to date in KODI. Is the last release available from the offical repositories ?

PS : nice framework ! Thanks !

[romanvm]

The new procedure for submitting addons into the official Kodi repo is too fussy, so I don't update the plugin. It seems that nobody uses it anyway. You are the first I know besides myself.

[gordielachance]

Okay ! But then, it means that it would be smarter that I include directly your library inside the plugin than rely on a dependency that will be out-of-date if a user install the plugin ?

[gordielachance]

And do you know why nobody uses your framework ? It looks great. I read about xbmcswift2 but I thought it was not longer maintained..

But in a way, this is nonsense :)
Would be great to have it in the repo so it can be used as a dependency.

And if not, how can I include it as a lib, ideally as a submodule so I can keep it "synced" easyly with Github ?

Thanks !

I use this library for my personal projects so a new version is automatically pushed to my private repo: https://github.com/romanvm/kodi_repo

[gordielachance]

I understand, it's not a big deal for me to get the latest version.

But the purpose of the addon i'm building is to publish it, so I need to
find a way to ship the lastest version of your library with it...
