Script failed: call_parent.py

Help and Support Vero
1

Today when I looked at Kodi on Vero, I got a dialog box with the generic update error:

OSMC update error
Error installing:
Please report this to the OSMC forum.

I clicked OK and the Vero froze up requiring a restart.

I tried a manual update, but got the error message:

script failed: call_parent.py

I tried to upload the logs, but get an error:

URL:http://paste.osmc.io/{"message}:"Document exceeds maximum length.

Should I upload a specific log file that doesn’t exceed the maximum length? If so, which one(s)?

I think this bug may be caused by the backup addon and Updater running at the same time. We have resolved this.

Try apt-get -y dist-upgrade and seeing if the problem persists after

Do you mean the standalone Kodi backup addon, or the MyOSMC Update backup module?

I’d use the later instead of the former but for the fact that the OSMC Update backup module can’t browse my network shares, while the Kodi Backup addon can.

I would still recommend a dist-upgrade as there have been a couple of fixes to the addon, and then seeing if the issue still persists.

Will investigate whether we can add browsing of network shares. I remember we had some problems doing it

I did the distribution upgrate and manual updating seems to work again.

OK

Probably write it off as a screw up on our end then

I think this happens because when you sum time variable + int variable it may return a day like 33 if you choose sunday as self.day.

import datetime
right_now = datetime.datetime.now()
right_now_weekday = right_now.weekday()
day = 6
new_day = right_now.day + day - right_now_weekday
print new_day
33

Thanks, I had a fix offline for a few weeks, but hadn’t committed it and had forgotten that I needed to.

Committed to dev branch now.
