I have been trying to get the PINSENTRY Parental control app compatible with Kodi 19.  I am currently stuck with this strange message which i am unable to resolve. Any help will be much appreciated.

    def getNumberOfLevels():
        return int(ADDON.getSetting("numberOfLevels")) + 1

 return int(ADDON.getSetting("numberOfLevels")) + 1
  ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '' 

The reference to this in settings.xml as below. 
<setting id="numberOfLevels" label="32020" type="enum" values="1|2|3|4|5" default="0" />

PINSENTRY link

Thanks Darren. Since PINSENTRY is the only working Parental Control app in Kodi, appreciate some help to get the add-on ported to Kodi 19. The Author has already agreed to transfer the ownership and i am willing to get it supported. I have managed to port the code to 19 but getting stuck for the above error. Appreciate Kodi community's help on this.

I'm using pin sentry since a few years and it's unavailability blocks me from updating to Kodi 19. I don't want too use Kodi's parental control feature because it's not convenient in my case. Is there any news regarding the ne‹ version of the add-on to Kodi 19?

[DarrenHill]

I'll move this to the addon development forum, as that may be a better place to get @enigmaa the help he needs to fix it up.

The error message is stating that Python cannot convert ADDON.getSetting("numberOfLevels") to an integer.  There are a few possibilities for this but without seeing more code it is difficult to determine.  I'd do this to debug it:

def getNumberOfLevels():
        settingvalue = ADDON.getSetting("numberOfLevels")
        xbmc.log('The setting value is: ' + str(settingvalue), xbmc.LOGINFO)
        return int(ADDON.getSetting("numberOfLevels")) + 1

This will tell you what is being returned by ADDON.getSetting("numberOfLevels"). 

I am happy to help you finish the Kodi 19 conversion.

Greatly appreciated

One other thing I forgot to mention is that the settings format is still in Kodi 18 format vs. Kodi 19.  It should still work but if you are doing a port to Kodi 19 it is best to convert the settings format too.  Here's a thread on how to do it.  There's a great addon from the Kodi team you can install and it will convert your settings for you.  I'd suggest doing this before debugging the current error.  Lastly, I am not sue why the settings type is enum vs. labelenum .  labelnum seems to be more appropriate.   Maybe start with:

<setting id="numberOfLevels" label="32020" type=" labelnum" values="0|1|2|3|4|5" default="0" />

  see if that works then run the addon conversion for the settings.

Are there any news for upgrading PinSentry to Kodi19?
What actions do you mean? I can't imagine that someone who created such important stuff did harm to anybody
A parental control addon is essential for any responsible parents!!!!

[DarrenHill]

Unfortunately he did - including stuff hidden within some addons which was definitely not welcome or acceptable.

To my knowledge, there is no work on any kind of fork of PinSentry or anything along the same lines.

Since i am very new to Python programming and i have been using Pinsentry for parental control, i am currently stuck with Kodi 18 as i have two young kids and need parental control for my movie library. I would very much appreciate if you can help to get this ported to Kodi 19. If you search for pinsentry in Github, you should be able to download the code. Robwest who owns the code has already agreed to get the ownership transferred ( check the issues column). I will be able to take ownership but porting to Kodi 19 seems a huge task with my limited Python skills.

The error message is self-explanatory. There was some changes in Kodi Python API in v.19 so you need to use the recent documentation.

Hi Roman
Understand i need to use SetArt(). Are you able to provide some example on how to use this. How do i change iconimage for the below with setart(). Appreciate your help with this.

ICON = ADDON.getAddonInfo('icon')
FANART = ADDON.getAddonInfo('fanart')

iconImage = 'DefaultAddonPVRClient.png'
                if pvrItem['thumbnail'] not in [None, ""]:
                    iconImage = pvrItem['thumbnail']
iconImage = ICON
                for flag in Settings.flags:
                    if flag['lang'] == lang:
                        iconImage = os_path_join(ICON_DIR, flag['icon'])

Here's an example from my addon where I changed it between Kodi 18 and 19.  Maybe this will help.

Kodi 18

li = xbmcgui.ListItem('Refresh', iconImage=addon.getAddonInfo("path") + '/resources/media/refresh.png')

Kodi 19

    li = xbmcgui.ListItem('Refresh')
    li.setArt({'icon':addon.getAddonInfo("path") + '/resources/media/refresh.png'})

Note there are multiple types of setArt art values.  You are using thumbnail which is now  thumb.  You can also set multiple values like this as a dictionary:

li.setArt({'thumb': iconurl, 'poster': iconurl, 'icon': iconurl, 'fanart': addon.getAddonInfo("path") + 'fanart.jpg'})

Thanks Jeff. Much appreciate and i am pretty much near the add-on loading without any error on Kodi 19. I need some help with the below error while setting PIN for the add-on

        return hashlib.sha256(rawValue).hexdigest()

I also see many places with utf encoding

        json_query = xbmc.executeJSONRPC('{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Addons.GetAddons", "params": { "type": "xbmc.python.pluginsource", "enabled": true, "properties": ["name", "thumbnail", "fanart"] }, "id": 1}')
json_query = unicode(json_query, 'utf-8', errors='ignore')
Also like this
videoItem['title'] = item['title'].encode("utf-8")

       Is this required in Kodi 19 and can i remove the highlighted text.
