Khan acadamy error check the log for more information

Help and Support
1

Hi

I have osmc installed on RPi3. In installed the iPlayer add on and it seems to work fine.

However when I install the Kahan Acadamy add on and try to play it, I simply get a message saying:

Khan Acadamy Error
check the log file for more information

Does anyone know why I get this or how I can go about finding out why ?
To what log file is it referring ?

I did find a logging section under settings from where I selected Enable debug logging. I then followed the log file from a login prompt and selected Khan Acadamy plug in. Here is the (I think relevant) output I got doing that:

Looks like some pythonry is puking because a JSON object could not be decoded. Does this give anyone an idea of what is happening ?

Edit:
Sorry forgot to include the osmc version I am using:

$ grep VERSION_ID /etc/os-release
VERSION_ID=“2020.11-1”

2

This is a very old version of OSMC. I’d suggest upgrading.

3

Sorry I forgot my RPi 3 has stopped working (hardware issue I think), so I have had to revert to my RPi1.2

As far as I can tell this is the latest release for an RPi1

4

Ooops ?

Forgetting I had had to swap to a Rpi 3 I installed the latest version of osmc for RPi 3 on it. Tried booting it and it did not work.

Having realised my error I re-installed the old image, but now I just get a blank screen when when I try to boot. By attempting to install RPi 3 osmc image on an RPi 1.2 am I likely to have damaged the hardware ? Any ideas how I might ba able to work out what has happened ?

5

No, it just won’t boot.

You should probably start out with standard diagnostics for a RPi; What are the lights on the RPi doing when you plug it in? Did you try another power supply and SD card?

6

Thank you for the reply.

It looks like the re-install got corrupted somehow - I cleaned up and installed again and it is again working ok. Back to square one.

Hi

Ok I was unable to get a new (up to date) raspberry pi, so I have purchased a Vero and am now using that.

However on this box I cannot see an Add on for Khan Acadamy.
The system info says I have:

Operating System: Open source Media Center 2021.08-1 (kernel: Linux 4.9.113-45-osmc)

Does anyone know how I can get Khan Acadamy on this OSMC ?

8

Should be as simple as this:

This add-on is installed from the Add-on browser located in Kodi as follows:

  1. Settings
  2. Add-on Browser
  3. Install from repository
  4. Video Add-ons
  5. Khan Academy
  6. Install

ps. I might have been to quick to reply, seems Khan-addon hasn’t been converted to python3 (needed for kodi 19), since it isn’t in kodi addon repo on 19, like it was in 18. I will take a quick dive into this.

After a quick review, there has to be a lot of work done. Both the addon and some of it dependencies needs to be converted to python3. It seems like a ultraistic idea Khans academy. But most of the people able to do the conversion don’t need the “purpose” of khans academy. So there has to be someone how burns for the idea and has time and knowledge, to do the conversion. I mean the original addon is from 2013 along with some requirements of custom addons.

10

Ok. Thank you very much for looking in to this. Certainly on my system there seems to be no addon for it.

I think the answer is no, but just to clarify - it is not possible to get a web browser running on OSMC ?

11

It is possible - but video playback won’t be hardware accelerated.

12

You could install an older Version of OSMC with Kodi 18
