Import serial - ConfusedTA - 2014-12-23
Hi all,
I've written a service add-on for my existing XBMC 13.2 installation, which allows me to control my LG TV from within XBMC - such as switching it on/off, changing input, volume, picture mode (it has a habit of switching out of 1:1 pixel mode)
All was working fine with 13.2, but I've just installed 14.0 and the script is failing!
Quote:17:29:14 T:9520 ERROR: EXCEPTION Thrown (PythonToCppException) : -->Python callback/script returned the following error<--
- NOTE: IGNORING THIS CAN LEAD TO MEMORY LEAKS!
Error Type: <type 'exceptions.ImportError'>
Error Contents: No module named serial
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\Media\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\addons\script.lgtv.rs232.control\service.py", line 9, in <module>
import serial
ImportError: No module named serial
I'm guessing the "serial" Python library has been removed or superceded? Can anyone help, please?
Cheers!

you need to add it as dependency in addon.xml if it's a separate addon module

Thanks - I'd forgotten I'd created an additional addon module wrapping "pyserial" - by adding that as a dependency, it's working fine.
Huge thanks for your very quick response, and for pointing me in the correct direction
Cheers!
