0.1.92 crashes after install and causes Kodi to boot in safe mode

[martijk]

Current Behavior

After installation Kodi crashes, tries to start a number of times and eventually starts in safe mode.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

Install 0.1.92 from zip of from the add-on repo.

Context

It works with version 0.1.91, but fails with 0.1.92. I've removed and reinstalled both from zip and from the add-on repo, both with the same effect. Installing 0.1.91 again fixes the issue.

For those looking for a quick solution: I've removed the plugin in safe mode over ssh by executing rm -rf /storage/.kodi.FAILED/addons/plugin.video.elementum/; reboot.

Your Environment

• Version used:
  0.1.92
• Environment name and version:
  LibreElec 11.0.1 on RPi 4

I can retrace my steps and provide a more detailed log if needed.

@martijk Strange that RPI4 could not run library for armv7.
Interesting to know what causes it, but probably you won't be able to get details easily.

New build of 0.1.92 is now prepared, try to re-download it.

[SubEdict]

Using 0.1.92 since the update 4 hours ago (happened between episodes lol), took 3 seconds, the firewall needed approval, accepted, and I was able to continue watching as if nothing happen.

*Did notice something new: From the Task Manager, Elementum no longer exists as a service, only Kodi.exe ...Is it normal now?

I experience the same issue with LibreElec running on Odroid N2+

Edit: New 0.1.92 build fixed it

[elgatito]

@SubEdict That is because it forced to start as a shared library, not as a separate binary. Re-download and re-install 0.1.92 and it will work as previously. Usually you won't notice any difference.

[elgatito]

I feel that it is an issue with a shared library and Rpi4, much alike this one - golang/go#58548
So it probably needs some changes in compilation process to run properly on Rpi4.
But to do that - Rpi4 is required and trying to resolve it playing with libtorrent-go docker image.

Closing this one, as there is nothing I, personally, can do.
If someone wants to try a fix on his own - I can reopen this issue and help with instructions on how to re-create docker images.

I've not tested it yet, hence no reaction from my side, but looking at the changes I'm fully convinced that it will not crash anymore. Thanks!
