I've just upgraded my Kodi to the latest version 21.3 and switched from CV to PSE. If I run PSE using a sequence with Trivia in it, it will work once. Then if I run it a second time it Errors out saying "PreShow Experience Error. See the log for more information". If I "Reset content database" it usually fixes it but just re-breaks after working once. The error portion of the log is below. It seems related somehow to trivia because the issue goes away if I omit Trivia from my sequence. At first I thought it was my Trivia content itself but after experimenting with it, I don't think so. Any thoughts on how I can regain stability? Thanks in advance!

Update: I might have fixed it. sequenceprocessor.py has import random defined twice. I removed the second one and it seems better now.

Glad you got it fixed. Which version of Preshow are you on?
