Latest omega alpha build revved the db version so it is no longer supported by the addon #1988

xconverge · 2023-09-11T00:33:21Z

https://kodi.tv/article/kodi-omega-alpha-3/

Pretty sure this isnt working right/supported correctly. It also doesn't handle the rev nicely because the old db was still there. When I manually cleared them I got the "this addon doesnt support this db" error which was nice

Thanks! It would be really nice if this could be merged. 👍

KyleSanderson · 2023-09-20T02:42:47Z

Ah jeez - was wondering why this completely broken. Thank you for the PR.

xconverge · 2023-09-20T02:49:57Z

21 a3 also drove me crazy due to xbmc/xbmc#23765, so much so I went back to 20. So I would advise anyone who wants to apply/use this patch to use a nightly after 9/19 (tonight at the time of this posting) either way.

GG-76 · 2023-09-21T21:28:14Z

Is there any way to run the PlexKodiConnect on Kodi Omega at the moment? Editing variables.py doesn't work for me :(

KyleSanderson · 2023-09-22T00:02:04Z

You need to delete the old database manually. The script is bugged and looks for the old one first.

GG-76 · 2023-09-22T08:41:27Z

@KyleSanderson please what is the file? thank you.

BaukeZwart · 2023-09-22T09:01:41Z

@GG-76 what isn't working, installing PKC or getting the db loaded?
Installing the modified PKC and doing a db reset from the PKC config menu fixed it for me.

GG-76 · 2023-09-22T09:54:05Z

@BaukeZwart I guess I don't understand. What is modifed PKC and where can I find it? i installed the latest version of kodi omega and PKC 3.8.1 from the library and it still says unsupported version. I didn't see anywhere that there was a modified version available for download.

BaukeZwart · 2023-09-22T10:31:21Z

You can't find it, you need to make the change yourself.

GG-76 · 2023-09-22T10:38:36Z

@BaukeZwart and how? i try edit variables.py but its not working :/

BaukeZwart · 2023-09-22T10:41:49Z

That worked for me.

GG-76 · 2023-09-22T11:24:33Z

@BaukeZwart I don't know what the correct procedure is, but I have a clean install of kodi, then PKC, then edited the file, run kodi, error message, reset DB, run kodi again, but still the same error message :/

BaukeZwart · 2023-09-22T13:11:26Z

Downloaded and unpacked PKC, edit and zip again.

Downloaded and install the following Plugins:

https://github.com/croneter/plugin.video.plexkodiconnect.movies/tree/python3

https://github.com/croneter/plugin.video.plexkodiconnect.tvshows/tree/python3

Install the modified PKC.zip

If all that goes without errors you should be good to go.

GG-76 · 2023-09-22T13:32:39Z

@BaukeZwart i see, ok thanks

edit: I followed the exact procedure and still the same result... Now I don't understand what the problem is...

GG-76 · 2023-09-28T07:56:29Z

@croneter Hi, when will the working version work with Kodi Omega be released please? thank you.

TheRealBix · 2023-09-30T20:25:51Z

For god sake thanks for the fix, I almost lost my sanity between the investigation and pkc installation...

GG-76 · 2023-10-01T19:33:18Z

For god sake thanks for the fix, I almost lost my sanity between the investigation and pkc installation...

Does the manual fix work for you too? I'm probably the only one who doesn't :/ I'm already pissed off.

Can someone please share with me the already modified PKC zip, because I'm probably stupid if I can't modify it so that it works...

edit /addons/plugin.video.plexkodiconnect/resources/lib/variables.py to add 122 for kodi 21 like this

  SUPPORTED_VIDEO_DB = {
      19: (119, ),
      20: (119, 120, 121),
      21: (121, 122, ),
  }

Delete /userdata/Database/MyVideos121.db if it exists (I just did rm -rf MyVideos*.db)
Restart kodi
Wait for plexkodiconenct to sync the new database

I have been running like this with no issues since alpha3 came out, but I suggest using a nightly instead of alpha 3

TheRealBix · 2023-10-01T20:12:21Z

I did reset the database through pkc (last red setting if I remember)
I imagine it starts by deleting the 121.db first ? Anyway it's working for me yep. Just don't mess up with the edit, that's all.

A bit out of subject but why do you suggest the nightly over alpha3 ?

see my message above #1988 (comment)

GG-76 · 2023-10-01T20:44:30Z

I have a different situation. I have a clean install of Kodi alpha 3, a clean install of PKC and it creates /userdata/Database/MyVideos122.db and I do anything with it, it always says unsupported version...

xconverge · 2023-10-01T21:19:16Z

Then you probably did not do step 1 correctly of editing variables.py

Sorry, I would just stay on alpha 2 (or just 20.2...) until this gets merged if you continue to have problems.

GG-76 · 2023-10-01T21:56:41Z

I guess I don't understand how I didn't edit variable.py correctly. it probably doesn't even work :D I copied exactly this code and rewrote it in the original... I've done it 20 times already, so what can I do wrong???? I think the problem must be somewhere else, when the db is already 122 after the first installation, even before the modification...

TheRealBix · 2023-10-02T18:54:20Z

Where are Kodi nighties btw ? All omega folders seems empty either for Android or windows

edit : nvm they are under "master" folder which is used for current developed branch

GG-76 · 2023-10-04T19:11:33Z

I am forced to go back to Nexus because Omega Alpha 3 causes a lot more errors compared to previous versions and a lot of things that used to work for me stopped working, it is no longer usable for me... It not unfortunately only about PKC,,,

Just to add to this, on beta 1 the music database has also changed, so there is a further modification needed to the variables.py file:

SUPPORTED_MUSIC_DB = {
    19: (82, ),
    20: (82, ),
    21: (83, ),
}

Ok I will make the change in my MR just in case @croneter pops up

It's now revved to 127 last i checked on December 30th, 2023

xconverge · 2024-01-03T01:45:55Z

Yea...FWIW you can find it here, and git blaming it gives you context on what changed along with the number change:

https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master/xbmc/video/VideoDatabase.cpp#L6256

in a function called int CVideoDatabase::GetSchemaVersion() const

I will just update as I need to personally (probably sticking to betas and release candidates now, no more nightlies for me). There is also always the chance a DB change has breaking changes for plexkodiconnect that is more than a number change

I also am not infinitely far away from just using the plex frontend...

doomwithdon · 2024-01-15T03:17:43Z

I have tried updating the variables.py and deleting the db file but i keep getting the error. Anyways I am assuming once the final version is released, PKC will get updated with a compatible release version.

croneter · 2024-01-20T17:02:49Z

Fixed in PKC version 3.8.3 for Kodi Omega BETA. I do NOT support nightly versions - too much stuff breaks with these

bokkoman · 2024-02-16T21:22:29Z

It seems the database is revved up to another version.
Suddenly my movies aren't visible anymore, but TV still is.
I don't know how to fix this.
The movies database name now is Movies131.db.

Nah, it doesn't work anymore.
I'm on 21.0 beta 3 since yesterday.
MyVideos131.db is the new filename.

Editing variables.py doesn't work either.

croneter · 2024-02-17T08:20:48Z

@bokkoman try resetting the PKC database. In the PKC settings go to Advanced, then hit "Reset the Kodi database" (in red). Reset the database only, do not reset the PKC add-on itself

I tried.
I also deleted all the databases.
Tried editing the variables.py.
Tried reinstalling.
Nothing worked. It's only the movies though, cause TV shows work fine.
I think it's the new beta that does something differently.

croneter · 2024-02-17T13:02:42Z

@bokkoman try re-installing Kodi completely from scratch

I'll do this.
But if that doesn't work, is there anything I can provide to fix it?

bokkoman · 2024-02-17T13:31:15Z

Just a heads up, the jellyfin plugin is broken as well because of beta 3.

Ok, this is confirmed broken.
