Add-on script errors

I'm new to XBMC and I'm having a problem with add-on script errors. No matter what video add-on I install, when I select it I get a script error.
I enabled logging and all errors are import errors of this kind.

all are similar, I only included one for space reasons. I also get a similar error when program is starting for the weather app.

Hi,

I am getting a similar error, No module named urllib2.

Were you able to resolve this issue

Could anyone please tell how to fix this issue

Could you post as full debug log. It's usually the only way to solve problems...

Hi Giftie,

I tried xbmc twice, I see different errors in log files

Here is the log file from my first run . XBMC hung on this run.

These are the errors to be resolved from the first run

Here is the onle from the second run. It gave some python errors in the lower bottom screen but kept working.

These are the errors essentially to be resolved from the 2nd run

I am surprised why this error "ERROR: convert_checked iconv_open() failed from UTF-8 to CP1252, errno=22(Invalid argument)" was reported in the first run and not the second one. Any ideas

thanks
Chahat

XBMC uses system Python, which on your system shows as version 2.7 which has the urllib2 module installed by default. Not sure why it is missing on your system...

Hi Giftie,

Thanks for looking through the logs. I am trying to make xbmc run on beagleboard, am running the Angstrom distro. I used the bitbake command to build it. Could you please tell me if i could do something to reinstall/rebuild python while creating the image ??

I am new to this, any help would be highly appreciable.

thanks
Chahat

Try putting this file into your /usr/lib/python2.7 folder -> https://github.com/downloads/Giftie/xbmc/urllib2.py

Not sure if you are going to need to re-compile XBMC or not..

Hi Giftie,

This is a html page. Are you sure this is what you wanted ??

thanks
Chahat

it's a link to the module file that you seem to be missing.. Download it and store it in your /usr/lib/python2.7
