FenFlix crashing on certain trailers

[kyle11leo]

So I'm having FenFlix crash on my RPI5 when I watch certain trailers.

I have to say I'm loving FenFlix and it's the greatest thing since sliced bread and maybe I'm being too picky, but I've found a bug I can reproduce at will on both LibreElec and Windows and I figured I'd toss it up here to see if there's something I can do to fix it or if it's something a dev might be interested in fixing if it's something that can be fixed in the deeper level skin settings that I won't even pretend to try to understand. I can add widgets but that's about it.

I have Fen Light setup to open extras and collection on movies. So, I pick a movie from a Latest Release list like Despicable Me 4, it opens a collection, I pick Despicable Me 3, then I get the Fen Light screen where I can pick "Playback" or "Trailer" amongst other things.

Anecdotally, I've had restarts when I dig around through different movies and play trailers browsing this way. Now I've finally put my finger on something reproducible that always causes Kodi to crash.

Problem statement: For many, but not all movies where there is a "collection" and the Fen Light feature in Tools-->Settings-->Features-->Special Open Actions is set to "Both" for Movies, Kodi will crash when browsing to a movie, then opening another from the collection, then playing that movie's trailer, then stopping the trailer and pressing the back button twice.

I can do this every time by picking the new Beetlejuice and watching the old Beetlejuice trailer, or picking Deadpool and Wolverine and watching the original Deadpool trailer from there, or picking Despicable Me 4 and watching the trailer from Despicable Me 3 from the collection. For whatever reason, it doesn't have the problem when I pick the second Joker movie and watch the trailer from the first one.

I can't imagine it being a FenLight problem as I switched to the Estuary skin and played the trailer directly from Fen Light with the same steps and never had the problem.

Looking through my kodi.log, the only thing that stands out when using FenFlix is this line about window 10025 - whatever that means.

2024-11-07 12:24:24.482 T:4432 error <general>: Control 55 in window 10025 has been asked to focus, but it can't

LibreElec On Estuary:
LibreElec On Fenflix:

Same behavior on Windows too - same " Control 55 in window 10025" message in the log and crash when performing the same actions.

I know there's not exactly a lot of documentation on these particular Chef builds on exactly or if I'm straying a little too far out of bounds of the design intent by doing those minor Fen Light feature tweaks in the way that I have, but it'd be really awesome if digging around in movie collections and watching trailers didn't make things crash.

And yet on 2 different android tvs I don't get a crash at all...

A couple things to try.. Open Fen/Tools and click Toggle Language Invoker...Disable Language Invoker and try again to see if that helps. If not, switch to default Estuary skin and see if the same problem occurs

Disable language invoker totally fixes it. How? I do not know...but it did.

Thanks Chef!
