Which version of the code are you running? I'm not getting any errors.

Did you download from the "Releases" page?

Hello, thanks for the reply.

Please bare with me as I have never ever used GitHub to submit a pull before.

It looks like I have submitted it to the wrong place?

Anyway, I have just installed:

addon id="service.bbclivefootballscores" name="BBC Football Scores" version="0.4.5" provider-name="elParaguayo">

On a fresh Kodi 17.1 RC1 Install.

Immediately the error log flags and reports the following:

                                         - NOTE: IGNORING THIS CAN LEAD TO MEMORY LEAKS!

                                        TypeError: expected string or buffer
                                        -->End of Python script error report<--

By changing Except: ValueError to Except: the addon does not error and the Notifications work flawlessly.

Once again, please accept my apologies for not knowing my way around GitHub, I am only trying to help :-)

[elParaguayo]

Don't apologise. I'm delighted you want to help!

Can you just confirm what version number is showing in the addon.xml file.

[ghost]

Thank you :-)

It's 0.4.5 in addon.xml
