This had been bugging me for days. I’ve got several newer X9’s (on firmware 1.0.3.2) and one I’ve got since this forum started (now on firmware 1.0.2.9). All these boxed are primarily intended to run Kodi and most important, the Kodi addons. One of the addons is called Veetle. This addon is needed for several other streaming plug-ins. If Veetle doesn’t work the addon which depends on this don’t work either. On the “original” X9, the veetle addon works as it should. The other X9 boxes have a Kodi 'one on one' copy (same userdata), no other apps installed (but Kodi) and on these boxes the addon fails, producing some of these errors: Code: 18:59:39 T:1815093768 ERROR: EXCEPTION Thrown (PythonToCppException) : -->Python callback/script returned the following error<-- - NOTE: IGNORING THIS CAN LEAD TO MEMORY LEAKS!

I’ve spent days trying to figure out what caused this error: Tried several Kodi versions Tried copies of userdata folders Tried fresh install with just the Veetle addon (and it’s dependencies like common.cache.plugin Tried upgrading firmware (1.0.3.3) On all instances the Veetle addon failed. The ONLY differences was the fact that the original box was running 1.0.2.9 So I downgraded one of the newer boxes to 1.0.2.9 and guess what, the Addons worked as expected. So it probably has to do with changes made in the firmware after 1.0.2.9. Perhaps it's a permission thing (The error log shows Python can't access a Kodi library in /data) or perhaps something else Please fix this so I can upgrade Firmware
If fixing this problem is an issue, is there a possibility to suppress the OTA firmware upgrade message?
Edit: Replacing the original akamaiSecureHD.py with the one from http://code.google.com/p/membrane-x...unk/plugin.video.puls4sport/akamaiSecureHD.py seems to overcome the akamaiSecureHD.py errors However, the 'script.common.plugin.cache' still seems to choke on a character: Code: 10:29:54 T:1717131256 ERROR: EXCEPTION Thrown (PythonToCppException) : -->Python callback/script returned the following error<-- - NOTE: IGNORING THIS CAN LEAD TO MEMORY LEAKS!

It worked on a older firmware. So where in the Android settings could this be fixed? Against by better judgment, I did a total reset of the X9, left all of the setting to their default values, started the supplied Zidoo Kodi 4.1 version and installed the Veetle addon. As I expected the addon failed with the above mentioned errors :-(
