Embuary helper causes Kodi crash

[umbongodrink]

I have a fresh installation of RaspbianOS bullseye running on a Raspberry Pi 4. I install Kodi from the default official repository, which is 19.4 Matrix. I then install Aeon MQ8 skin for Matrix (https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=358382). Whenever I try to play a video file, I am prompted to install the required Add-on, Embuary Helper. I do so, and Kodi crashes. If I try to open Kodi again, it crashes. The only way to stop the crashing is to delete the .kodi directory in my home directory. Please can you help? I'm attaching a copy of the crash log.

Try updating Python.

I have tried, unfortunately the problem still exists.
I followed the instructions here, to update to Python v3.11.4:

This does update Python.
I'm attaching another crash log.
Please help, thank you!

The first error seems to come from numpy, try the solution here:- #45

Ah thanks a lot.

I do wonder if that will help. I've managed to construct a workaround. It involves installing Embuary Helper by means of installing the Artwork Helper:

from here:

You can then go into Add-Ons and disable Embuary Helper.
You then install the Aeon MQ8 skin for Matrix Mod, and because Embuary Helper is already disabled, you won't get the prompt to install it and then have Kodi crash and on you once installed.

It's a bit of a ugly fix, but I don't seem to need the features of Embuary Helper.
You write about the "first" error, so it seems by the log file there are many more... related or not to Embuary Helper... so that could involve much more troubleshooting otherwise...?
