Problem description:
The xbian-config Kodi addon has stopped working. I haven't used it for about 6 months so I can't be sure when it stopped.
Running the addon gives the message: "xbian-config error: Check the log file"
The relevant lines in kodi.log are:
20:14:32.660 170.239182 T:1710941104 ERROR: EXCEPTION Thrown (PythonToCppException) : -->Python callback/script returned the following error<--

Can you please check your filesystem first
Code:
sudo btrfs scrub start /
sudo watch btrfs scrub status /Your system can't be up2date. Kodi 17.6 is obsolete, we are now at 18.2. Could it be that you're still running Debian Jessie?
RE: xbian-config addon has stopped working - dreamweaver - 21st May, 2019 02:22 PM
Yes I'm running jessie:
Code:
# lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Raspbian
Description: Raspbian GNU/Linux 8.11 (jessie)
Release: 8.11
Codename: jessieThe file system check completes without errors.
I note that the XBian-Config addon version is 18.0.1 - is this compatible with Kodi 17.6?

Yes, it should be. I'm running Kodi 17.6 on a Hummingboard (i.MX6 SOC) device, and XBian-config is working very well. Using Debian Stretch though.
I'm wondering where
Quote:Distributor ID: Raspbian
Description: Raspbian GNU/Linux 8.11 (jessie)
Raspbian in ID and Description came from. You're using Pi3, but Pi's below Pi2 using Raspbian, all others are using Debian Distribution. That's confusing me a bit
Anyway, I don't believe that this is the combination of Jessie, 17.6 and latest XBian-config, maybe some other files are broken.
XBian-config crashes on accessing file /home/xbian/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/plugin.xbianconfig/cache.db. You could try to remove this file and try again.
RE: xbian-config addon has stopped working - dreamweaver - 22nd May, 2019 11:28 AM
There was no cache.db but there was __db.cache.db, removing this fixed the problem.
Thanks for your help, please mark as solved.

Please remove /home/xbian/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/plugin.xbianconfig/cache.db* and try again
Terminal
rm -f /home/xbian/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/plugin.xbianconfig/cache.db*
Btw, using Kodi 19 is very dangerous because it is in very early alpha state

I'm was trying to remove cache.db how it describe in this topic,it's doesn't help.
Upgrade to 19 version of kodi is need to have iptv simple addon.
As i understand in 18.* version iptv simple banned.
I'm install them(iptv simple) separatly on x86 system-download rpm package
from fedora repo and install in opensuse(suse is my main system),
but how it made on arm system i don't know.
RE: xbian-config addon has stopped working - Nachteule - 5th Dec, 2019 06:09 AM
Btw, you need xbian-package-config-xbmc from staging repo!
And, all binary addons are included in xbian-package-xbmc
Quote:I'm install them(iptv simple) separatly on x86 system-download rpm package

See above, just needs to be enabled

Now too late to make photo. But i'm use kodi long time.
In all version's of them before 18 iptv simple was in pvr client,
in 18 versions in other distro and in xbian i'm can't find them in pvr client.
Before i update kodi in xbian i was see onlely install from zip in pvr section.
Were i mast enabled them in this case?
Search in kodi gui in addons section on pvr simple keyword didn't find anything.
And it doesn't matter now. For now i want to understand how to repair xbian-config.
Or simple way will just reinstall xbian at new?
RE: xbian-config addon has stopped working - Nachteule - 5th Dec, 2019 07:35 AM
Please open your eyes:
My sdard installation running 18.5, and PVR IPTV Simple Client can be enabled in Addons->User Addons->PVR Clients
My iSCSI devel installation running 19.0a1, and PVR IPTV Simple Client can be enabled in Addons->User Addons->PVR Clients as well
And already told, remove cache.db* files and make sure that you have xbian-package-config-xbmc version 20191020-0 or higher (from staging repository)
Terminal
root@kmxbilr2 ~ # apt-cache policy xbian-package-config-xbmc
xbian-package-config-xbmc:

Just wanted to express my gratitude for this forum post and the solution offered: it made the Xbian-config addon start on my fresh RPi 4B (4 GB) install!
RE: xbian-config addon has stopped working - lavawithin - 28th Nov, 2022 11:34 PM
I also had the same problem as you. Really helpful help. Helped with my RPi 4B (4 GB) installation!
