I used version 1.1.0 and that error disappeared in Leia 18.0. It is not, although, published in Kodi repository, so you would need to go to 'master' branch root (here in GitHub) and download the zip, then, install from zip (not sure if necessary, but I uninstalled version 1.0.0 before.

I installed the Addon from the *.zip and it worked flawless. I am still on a Raspberry Pi with OSMC from January 2018. YES TOOK ME A YEAR (almost).

Just an update on this: even with the master branch is likely to fail for other reasons (I'm on Libreelec): from builtins import str in resources/lib/gui.py requires the "future" library to be installed. But even then, the code is so old that it depends on kodi65.

This is probably all fixable with little effort and I might give it a go, if I can work out how to setup a local kodi development environment.
