Python system paths initialization on Xbox
Following https://github.com/anxdpanic/plugin.video.youtube/issues/923, I report a failure regarding Python paths initialization on Xbox.
I've still got path issues.

As @MoojMidge pointed out, this seems to affect all addons using python.
this seems to affect all addons using python.
Only on some subset of Windows platforms, where presumably access to system file paths are limited due to sandboxing. Possibly related to this change in CPython https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/2438cdf0e932a341c7613bf4323d06b91ae9f1f1#diff-edff4421a88bdc56335a84a1e5a0ce0eafe5cd0c37dcb1aff03ff075bfb9b57c
It is more of a Kodi issue, but I suggested opening an issue here so that the decision to try to load the LaCrOS browser image could be managed a little better by changing
https://github.com/emilsvennesson/script.module.inputstreamhelper/blob/06b88d3984bad45472246321bd476dbc86c027e0/lib/inputstreamhelper/widevine/arm.py#L13
to the following:
try:
from .arm_lacros import cdm_from_lacros, install_widevine_arm_lacros
except (ImportError, OSError):
cdm_from_lacross = install_widevine_arm_lacros = None
and then changing https://github.com/emilsvennesson/script.module.inputstreamhelper/blob/06b88d3984bad45472246321bd476dbc86c027e0/lib/inputstreamhelper/widevine/arm.py#L156-L157
to the following:
if cdm_from_lacros and cdm_from_lacros():
return install_widevine_arm_lacros(backup_path)
Any news on this?
0.5.1 still needed to get inputstream helper working on xbox
@rampagejoe Have you tested #582? I don't have an Xbox to try with right now, but I can merge the PR and cut a new release if it works.

@emilsvennesson I tried the updated zip and the manual lacros changes to arm.py
Both solutions didn't work for me
Dunno much about this topic yet
All I know is that it seems like omega killed a lot of addons on xbox because of python problems... Related to wrong paths?
Some python based addons still work though...
I also tried macos/android/windows store version & installer version for comparison No problems with any addons
Dunno if it matters for addons at all But I got xbox dev access to test fixes, updates etc
The problem is this line
script.module.inputstreamhelper\lib\inputstreamhelper\unsquash.py"
from ctypes import CDLL, c_void_p, c_size_t, create_string_buffer
FileNotFoundError: Could not find module 'kernel32' (or one of its dependencies).
The UWP version of Kodi that runs on XBOX cannot handle ctypes library or the crypto library as it is incorrectly built as an Windows DESKTOP app. so kernel32.dll which ctype and crypto expect on a DESKTOP app is actually not available in UWP environment. Kodi itself needs to be built correctly for this. Been sitting in their git issues for a while now https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/issues/24746
