python3.12 update needed

[graysky2]

It seems that python3.12 breaks this script. Any change to update it?

No!

Just use this: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=158373&pid=3184117#pid3184117

I do not code in python but I can use chatgpt. This modification seems to fix the vclean and vscan functions but it breaks the P function with seems to go on forever. Someone with more knowledge needs to help...

There are also Python wrappers for linux ;-)

Or you can use both versions at the same time, which is no problem at all with Linux.

I'd rather fix the code

Good luck with your project then.

Faced the same problem and while it would be lovely if the script got updated you could still possibly install Python 3.11 alongside the newer versions. I ran the script successfully on Ubuntu 24.04 with Deadsnakes build of Python 3.11

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3.11
