Did you find a fix? I seem to have suddenly just got this error which occurs on startup = not sure what issues it's causing yet though if any.

Went away on its own.

I think mine is interfering with other apps now, cache full errors etc when streaming. I'm going to try update to 14.2 (currently on 14.1)

EDIT - tested Kodi one last time and mine seems to have gone too, the only thing I did do last night was a hardware reboot on the AFTV (whether that had any bearing)

[kayone]

It seems to have come back...

it seems to stop occurring if i reboot my Fire TV, but then appears again after a few kodi restarts.

Anyone else having issues with this? is there a fix?

Yes I am having the same issue have tried older versions off common cache and still get same issue seems to be a very common problem that's been rumbling on for years , I am running a Lenovo HTPC with latest helix build

Hm, it is stalling because of a bug that has since been fixed.

But i believe the bug has been triggered by a faulty download in iceplugin originally(then replicated and made worse by the cache).

Clear your cache with:
rm ~/.xbmc/userdata/Database/commoncache.db

I also started getting the Error upon every startup - Failed to Start Commoncache

The error comes up everytime I start XBMC Gotham 13.2 (15 seconds after start as set in the plugin configuration), started doing it all of sudden. Have been trying out various skins, last one I tried was Ace skin and came back to default Confluence.

I run Gotham on ATV1200 Android box

Could anybody tell me where you run that command rm ~... do you have to log in via some command line interface or what. Also I turned debugging as per above but where is the log?

The error started together with error "Remote Communication Server Failed to Start" no idea if that is related somehow. I solved that one by searching forums and turning off Remote Control, Zeroconf and AirPlay (which I don't use anyway).

Edit: now after few restarts the cache error went away. I leave my findings here for what they are worth.

Hi all!

I want to cache a function that returns a list something like this: list=[ ['something','link'],['something1','link1'],['something2','link2'],['something3','link4'] ... ]

I imported StorageServer like this:

Code:

try:
  import StorageServer
except:
  import storageserverdummy as StorageServer
cache = StorageServer.StorageServer('plugin.video.filmovita_test')

and cached the function like this:

Code:

list_of_all=cache.cacheFunction(get_list_of_all_movies) #get_list_of_all_movies is a function returnin the list mentioned above

but every time in Kodi.log I get message saying Table not defined

Have I forgotten something? please help

Any plans on fixing this? been an issue for a long time... is anyone maintaining this plugin?

I'm having the same problem using the Veetle addon (and addons using Veetle for streaming) on Android systems. This error depends on the firmware used. Firmware X does not cause problems, firmware Y does (on the same device).

I'd really like a fix for the Add-on or at least point me in a direction where to find the problem in the Android-OS:

There where mentions of a language locale issue, but I can't figure out what needs to be straightened out.

See http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=...pid2031908 for details

Is there a way to access this cache from a visualization addon (c++)?

Hi,

I have just been looking at a log to solve an issue with TvTunes and spotted an error from script.common.plugin.cache

http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=...pid2255282

so thought I would post it here in case it's of any use

If some can log the actual values then we can fix it
