Same issue. plex-for-kodi hasn't updated in awhile, so something else must have updated right? I'm wondering if I can manually roll back a package somewhere.
Ok I hacked a fix. I don't know the implications of doing this, but hey.. it's working for me. I first went into the add-ons interface for Kodi and disabled automated updates for the urllib3 add-on. Then I ssh'd into my Kodi box and did the following:
cd /storage/.kodi/addons/script.module.urllib3/lib
mv urllib3 urllib3.backup # make a backup of the code in case things go wrong
wget https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/archive/refs/tags/1.26.18.tar.gz # download the code for urllib3 version 1.26.18
tar xzvf 1.26.18.tar.gz # extract the code
mv urllib3-1.26.18/src/urllib3/ . # move the relevant portion of the urllib3 code to the right spot
rm -r 1.26.18.tar.gz urllib3-1.26.18/ # clean up the stuff we don't need@b-ryan great idea, works for me too. thx
Can confirm that this works. Thanks for the fix
How to fix on Firestick?
I switched to the composite add-on instead to access my plex library, which works fine. I use plex-mpv-shim (python) outside of Kodi which also depends on urllib3 and it works.
@b-ryan thanks for the tip. I'm using xbox series x so ssh is not as straightforward but what I did manage to do was install an old version of urllib3 using install from zip file and this repo: https://mirrors.kodi.tv/addons/nexus/script.module.urllib3/
@Barbaracus this should work for firestick too
Use the Pannal fork, it's actively maintained and have this issue fixed
The Pannal fork works for me
