The code fix is working evidenced by:

2020-11-17 14:06:19.313 T:3896554304 DEBUG: Mezzmo items left: 1
2020-11-17 14:06:19.727 T:3896554304 DEBUG: Previous line repeats 1 times.

It looped one time.

I've uploaded 1.1.1.2b which fixes the log exception error above and will give you the correct log message. You won't need to run debug. Also, you can reenable the other options in the addon if you'd like. Everything should work now. I am especially curious of the background sync. It should work fine and uses slightly different code for retrieving and syncing your database. Thanks for reporting the error. If this test version works I will merge the fix into the mainline code.

I Updated to 1.1.1.2b and everything is still working great, I will let you know if I find any other issues, I cleared the kodi library and rebooted background sync seems to work from what I can tell.

Thanks for the quick updates!

Thanks. Can you verify you are seeing the proper error message in the logs when you browse the playlist which had been having issues ?

Mezzmo items not displayed: 1

And then can I see a sync event set of logs ? They will look something like:

2020-11-17 18:23:19.903 T:20644 NOTICE: Mezzmo textures cache timers 0 rows updated.

They will appear hourly. These will let me know that everything is working properly.

I appreciate your help.

Yeah the notice seems to work great now (no need for debug either).

Everything looks good. Yes, when you clear the database it will take up to 6 intervals (hours) to totally complete a database background sync. This is a safety precaution to avoid bogging down lower powered devices and potentially impact performance (or locking the database for extended periods of time). To make up for that real time updates are enabled. This means as you browse Mezzmo it will sync anything which hasn't been caught yet by the background processing. Once sync is achieved the addon disables real time syncing since it is no longer needed. This slightly improves browsing speed since database checking is eliminated once real time sync is disabled. The addon will do all of this automatically.

The last thing the sync process does is once a day between midnight and 6AM it does a full resync. It clears the Mezzmo data from Kodi and rebuilds everything at one time and then disables real time syncing. It does this to get rid of old Mezzmo records which may have been deleted and ensures sync between Kodi and Mezzmo. If you have dupe checking enabled it will also tell you where you have duplicate entries in your Mezzmo database. I can see a few above in your logs. Typically they look like:

2020-11-17 17:22:23.809 T:3738170176 NOTICE: There was a Mezzmo metadata change detected: GOPR0035
2020-11-17 17:22:23.810 T:3738170176 NOTICE: There was a Mezzmo streamdetails or artwork change detected: GOPR0035
2020-11-17 17:22:23.810 T:3738170176 NOTICE: Mezzmo streamdetails artwork rowcount = : 4

It is saying it saw the same name twice GOPR0035 and either the metadata or the stream details (i.e. audio, video or container format) are different. The first time folks use the addon this is typical and after some cleanup it is a nice way to help keep your Mezzmo database clean.
