fix: migrate addon to kodi19 / python3

[makepanic]

fixes #13

[makepanic]

Hi thanks for maintaining this great addon. I noted that it didn't work after upgrading to kodi@19.

After some print() debugging i was able to seemingly fix all the issues and it's now streaming from somafm again:

I bumped the version to 2.0.0 as it's a breaking change due to requiring kodi@19. I'm not sure what's the usual approach is to move it to a new major kodi version.

Any idea when this will be accepted? Or will there be plans to release a v19/Python 3 friendly version?

I also would love to have this working with Kodi 19

@evinr @RacerXnyc we need someone or a group of people to maintain this add-on. In the linked ticket it outlines this :)

[inverse]

@Oderik any chance you could merge this one to get compatibility back... Or is the process more manual steps than just that?

[evinr]

@inverse Thanks for the explanation! How is the new maintainer decided?

I just ran kodi-addon-checker and got a few errors related to the old language directory structure. I will respond in the other thread if I get this passing and working.

Once it is passing kodi-addon-checker then whoever owns the repo/project will need to submit a PR as a single commit. Or at least that is what I can surmise. https://github.com/xbmc/repo-plugins/tree/matrix

Hi @evinr, @inverse, @RacerXnyc and @makepanic,

thanks for your interest in this addon. Please have a look at this post of mine (inverse already mentioned it I think): #13 (comment)

To sum it up: I need someone to take over maintenance of this project. And that person or group should also find out how to propagate an official add on update (it seems to me that evinr did that) and what works best regarding hand over of this repo.

So of course I could just merge the PR (untested), but then the project would remain unmaintained again. ;) So, it seems to me that one or some or all of you might be a good option for the future maintainers of this. What do you think? :D

Please discuss and tell me how to transfer ownership of the repo. Again, please note the thoughts in the linked comments.

@inverse, @Oderik (and everyone),

Yes, I saw that they need someone to maintain it. Unfortunately that's not me. I'm not a coder or programmer and don't understand 'any of this stuff'. I don't really even completely understand how to use github. I get what it's for, of course, and understand some of the lingo, but I struggle with large sections of it.

The Soma addon was the final, only addon remaining from my 18 build that isn't 19 compatible. I wrote the soma guys and they sent me here. I saw @evinr's comment and wanted to chime in myself.

Full emotional support! No technical skills. :(

I can contribute, however, with writing- instructions, descriptions, etc.. Assuming I understand the thing.
