MP3 Streams 'Play Now' Hangs Kodi 18.0 #7

Jeffers24 · 2019-02-11T07:58:17Z

On android, different versions 5,6 and 7.
After choosing favourite artists>artist>Album popup asks 'Browse' or 'Play Now', if I choose play now Kodi hangs and I have to go to settings>apps and do a force close Kodi to recover.
This issue also happened in RC releases of Kodi.
The 'Play Now' function works OK on Kodi 17.6.

bugatsinho · 2019-02-11T12:03:22Z

i was working on that issue on kodi18.
are you able to provide a log file?
thank you

Jeffers24 · 2019-02-11T15:56:20Z

I will provide whatever may help.
I have never done a log before, would you advise on what logging to use and settings, to ensure I capture what would help you??
Once I receive your response I will produce and send log.
After selecting 'Play Now', popup appears for a few seconds it looks like MP3Streams is downloading something (tracks in album), as in 17.6, but then hangs.
Happy to test any modified version to check this problem gone.

bugatsinho · 2019-02-11T16:48:58Z

firstly you can install kodi logfile uploader from kodi's official repository and when you'll produce the error open it and hit upload and share the link it shows!thank you
also the code of this addon is too old and it will need a refreshment but i dont have the time to do it!

Jeffers24 · 2019-02-11T18:51:32Z

Not sure this is going to work, when I get the problem Kodi hangs I have to go into settings apps and force stop Kodi and start it again. Thinking it may be the old log that you need?
Did as you suggested and the code Kodi Log Updater is displaying is https://paste.kodi.tv/zefuqivace (all upper case).
I could take the old log and upload it to dropbox and paste a link here?

Jeffers24 · 2019-02-11T19:01:49Z

This should be my kodi old log I dragged and dropped it here

Let me know if it is not/no use

kodi.old.log

Jeffers24 · 2019-02-12T06:54:33Z

Fresh install of Kodi 18.0, only Cellar Door TV Repo and MP3Streams installed, log after experiencing Kodi freezing issue.
Maybe easier to see issue

kodi.log

dimitris90s · 2019-02-15T23:05:24Z

Same issue here on Kodi 18.
Whatever i choose browse works fine but play now always freezing Kodi.

bugatsinho · 2019-02-16T01:47:06Z

I found the issue and fixed it but I can't make it play the songs...I need more time...
and maybe help!

Jeffers24 · 2019-02-16T07:11:51Z

Thanks for looking at the issue and response.
If I had the programming skills I would fix it and give you the fix.
I am reasonably logical, and I am happy to help in anyway I can.
I don't know how difficult it is to learn the programming language, if you can point me to a good 'How to get started' programming tutorial/s I will have a go at trying to learn how to do it.
If I can help by looking at something logically, testing, providing logs let me know.

Absolutely brilliant guys, thanks for all your effort and fixing this.
Bugatsinho will an update be pushed through your repo which I have installed, or do I need to do a download to get updated version?
If I need to download would you provide a link.

MP3Streams updated.
Selected album David Bowie, Platinum Collection.
If I select browse track list is displayed in seconds, select a track and it plays in a few seconds.
If I select play now, taking a long time to 'Adding to Playlist'.
It got there in the end, but took approximately 40 minutes and it didn't start at track 1 The Jean Genie. There was no indication which track it started with but I believe it was the last track 57 Underground. I let track 57 play then it stopped, guessing it was at the end of the playlist.
Pressed the back key and went back to list of David Bowie albums.
Using on Kodi 18.1 on an Android box Minix U1.
Tested my internet speed it's around 30Mbs.
Is there some setting/change/action I need to make following the update?

Jeffers24 · 2019-03-23T18:33:54Z

NPs, would have been great if it was OK.
Till next time

If you want me to test before release let me know, I can do that :-)

I'm using Debian Testing and Kodi 17.6 only because mp3 streams works fine with that.
I have installed Kodi 18 via flatpak, set up Logging as best as I could to create this log.
It's on my mega folder since most paste sites doesn't store big files.
I also posted to several fb kodi related groups looking for programmers to help with this issue.
Hopefully mp3 streams will be fixed soon. Let me know if I can do anything more to help.

bugatsinho, I think codeproject's Collaboration forum is our best bet for fixing mp3 streams for Kodi Leia.

partial rewrite of this plugin https://github.com/L2501/plugin.audio.m3sr2019

L2501 this works nicely but could you contribute (or complete your own) to this version with your Queue solution since it includes favorites and more sections?

L2501 · 2019-04-26T10:41:02Z

Kodi has builtin playlists and favorites where you can save.

I would agree with CGs, I use the favourite album, favourite artist and favourite songs in MP3Streams and would appreciate MP3Streams as is with L2501 queue solution please.
So I don't clog up Kodi Favourites etc.

Maybe L2501 could pass the MP3Streams fix to bugatsinho?

L2501 · 2019-04-26T13:49:45Z

creating a favourites system for every add-on separately is rather redundant. kodi playlists work fine.

Jeffers24 · 2019-04-26T19:53:07Z

creating a favourites system for every add-on separately is rather redundant. kodi playlists work fine.

Yet every addon has their own favourites.

I don't use every addons favorites, but I do use MP3Streams favourites.

Only my opion but your solution is not a fix to MP3Streams, it's a different addon.

Hopefully what you have done can be applied to MP3Streams.

Thank you for all your efforts.

L2501 · 2019-04-26T21:06:42Z

and they all suck. the correct way is to remove those and use kodi builtin playlists/libray or a dedicated universal addon like super favorites or openmeta

sonofdibnah · 2019-04-27T03:45:13Z

So good to have something that works at last L2501. Only negative is that I miss New Albums>New Albums because I like to browse and discover. Can it be added easily?

sonofdibnah · 2019-04-27T04:17:37Z

Sorry but same applies to Top Albums>Top Albums. If I need to say more, I'll do so on L2501's github.

Jeffers24 · 2019-04-27T06:10:37Z

This is not MP3Streams fixed, it's an inferior different addon.
Bugatsinho, please continue to try and fix MP3Streams with help.

I agree, the original MP3 Streams is far superior.

The alternative I use is clicking Browse, playing the first song, then Queueing the rest of the album. Browsing new albums from that vast russian mp3 site is what MP3 Streams is all about for me.

Jeffers24 · 2019-04-29T16:49:18Z

cgs, Thanks for workaround Would it be possible to port LS250's queue fix to MP3Streams and add LS250 in the MP3Streams credit list as recognition and thank you?

Thanks to a new Kodi v17.6 build -I won't mention the name here, can you digg it?-, that includes this original MP3Streams I am able to enjoy its full potential again -without other Kodi 18 flaws as well.
