Am running the Alpha 4 for some time already (FernetMenta build) and realized that the Unversial Add-on in the official repo stopped working after Alpha 3 was upgraded. Here the xbmc.log including the errors that occur immediately after the Universal Add-on is installed (see around 20:00:00 in the log-file):
xbmc.log
Kodi just reports "Script Error".

I was not surprised using alpha builds but thought that the issue might be fixed with the official Alpha 4 release as the Universal Add-on Toolkit seems to part of the official package. Looking at the official repo the add-on is still not labeled as incompatible.

Can anyone comment on this, possibly provide a fix or give some insights on when the add-on will be adapted?

Thanks and best,

it is certainly not a "official" addon or supported by us.

we did restrict python module loading a bit so now addons that don't follow proper coding guidelines are beginning to break.
Looking at the addon it certainly does some things that are not standard procedure.

So i suggest you track down the author of the addon and get him to fix it

Oh, alright. I thought it to be official since it is part of the XBMC.org Add-ons repo that comes with XBMC/Kodi. But does not matter. Thanks for your advice.

I have searched for the creator of the add-on, but not sure she/he is active anymore. Just in case, could you please point me at the changes that have been implemented and the coding guidelines w.r.t. python module loading you apply? Maybe I can try fixing it myself then...

Thanks again!

solution is to split the addon into a separate service and python module.
tried it and then it works.

Nice! That took you, mmmh, less than 5 min? OK, I will try to do that myself. Happy to learn something. If I cannot manage until the end of the week, may I come back to you, please? ;-)

Cheers,

How do you go about splitting the addon into a separate service and python module ? Please be detailed in your explanations :-)

I'm running XBMC (Kodi v. 14 "Helix") on a JB Ipad air, running ios 8.1, following the latest Pangu. I installed XBMC and Mashup. Unfortunately, in almost every link on Mashup (for example, New Releases or Latest Added), I get a "script failed" error. I tried selecting the link twice to no avail...

When I open XBMC, I also get an error message indicating "Script Failed - Universal an Addons Toolkit".

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am seeing this error also after the upgrade to Helix.

Problem is that I don't even remember what this is for, or where it is in the addons tree.

How do I fix or disable it? I have no idea what is meant by "split the addon into a separate service and python module" and if it's not going to work then I would just like it disabled.

EDIT: After I ran an addons update it gave me the option to disable it, so I did. Still not sure what it was for in the first place.

It has something to do with the istream addon. It doesn't work anymore so I uninstalled Istream and also universal tool kit. Then it was fixed.
