Kodi’s subprocess.py

Posted on Author Kodi Community Forum - All Forums

I’m running a python script at startup. All it does is it opens a .bat file. It works fine by double clicking it, but when I run it from Kodi I get

Code:
ERROR: EXCEPTION Thrown (PythonToCppException) : -->Python callback/script returned the following error<--
                                             - NOTE: IGNORING THIS CAN LEAD TO MEMORY LEAKS!

                                            WindowsError: [Error 2] The system cannot find the file specified
                                            -->End of Python script error report<--

This is the script:

Code:
import time
import os
from subprocess import Popen
time.sleep(2.5)
p = Popen("Series.bat", cwd=r"C:\Users\firewater\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\userdata")
stdout, stderr = p.communicate()

I’m guessing Kodi’s subprocess.py is interfering with the script? I don’t write in Python, so I really don’t know much about this – I more or less copypasted this from Google.

If anyone knows another way to call the .bat, that’s alright too, I just want it opened at the startup of Kodi.
