kodi

Kodi (20.1 (20.1.0) Git:20230316-d8f3f99cc3-dirty). Platform: Linux ARM 32-bit

was not responding after start and the Tvheadend shown no channels at http://192.168.0.2:9981/extjs.html (later I have found the disconnected antena cable).

cat /home/xbian/.kodi/temp/kodi.log (for other OS log paths check here) shown some warnings and errors, which I have all pasted here.

When i have pushed any button on the remote control (control worked and TV led indicated contact), there was no log entry added into a mentioned kodi log.

"dmesg -T" not shown any errors. After rebooting over SSH (reboot now), it started responding after boot (weird that not under first boot and second yes). But it got no reply from TVHeadend HTSP client (no signal, later I have found it is disconnected antena ;). When i went to this addon configuration, it freezed with following errors in said Kodi log:

error <general>: Repository add-on repository.universalscrapers does not have any directory and won't be able to update/serve addons! Please fix the addon.xml definition
error <general>: AddOnLog: pvr.hts: Command getDiskSpace failed: Unable to stat path
error <general>: GetDriveSpace: Add-on 'pvr.hts' returned an error: server error

error <general>: CCurlFile::Open - <http://127.0.0.1:9981/imagecache/2403> Failed with code 404:

Then i saw it moved to and stuck on a "stopping kodi" xbian screen. Since I have not updated a few months, i did command "sudo apt update;sudo apt upgrade" via SSH command line remotely.

it updated many packages, no "kodi" package, but "tvheadend" one

at the end of the upgrade process was:

initctl: invalid command: try-restart
Try `initctl --help' for more information.
invoke-rc.d: initscript ntp, action "try-restart" failed.
Setting up xbian-package-config-xbmc (20231115) ...
Processing triggers for xbian-package-config-xbmc (20231115) ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
 fail2ban

(fail2ban has been installed by me previously and it never worked entirely, and removal is not working somehow), system rebooted itself automatically after upgrading.

After reboot, there still has been errors in the mentioned kodi log:

error <general>: GetDriveSpace: Add-on 'pvr.hts' returned an error: server error

and the screen detected no signal. After next reboot, the screen is ok. After next reboot with connected antena cable, these errors and warnings remains.

After researching all that warnings, I have this (highlighted items are unsolved):

Regarding first block of errors (DBus error: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InvalidArgs), someone says that there is no issue with it.

Regarding second block of errors ("Repository add-on repository.superrepo.org.gotham.all uses old schema definition for the repository extension point!"), I think i will have to contact repo admin or uninstall that repo/addons.

"POParser: missing msgstr line in entry. Failed entry", I have not found any solution to that.

Third block: (JSONRPC: Could not parse type "Setting.Details.SettingList") - someone says "can also be ignored, not skin related"

Fourth block may be related to PVR addons that i think are disabled and can not be uninstalled and has no updates. Weird.

Fifth block: (pyinotify ERROR] add_watch: cannot watch /run/splash WD=-1, Errno=No such file or directory (ENOENT)) - I have not found any solution.

Sifth/final block of errors is likely related to second block.
