This reply from a numpy maintainer could very well be important: numpy/numpy#18848
"I'm sorry you are getting bounced around from repo to repo, but there's no bug in numpy that we re-introduced recently. numpy has never supported being run in Python sub-interpreters. Probably what changed is something in one of the Kodi plugins, like TMDbHelper, causing an import of numpy (probably through Pillow). If Kodi has moved to using sub-interpreters, all of the plugins will have to studiously avoid importing numpy entirely."
For my own purposes, I worked around the issue by simply removing the refrerence to ImageFilter, lines 12 and 76. I do not use this enough to know whether or not that breaks anything else, so I don't want to submit a PR, but I will if you think it appropriate. Essentially, l've lost the gaussian blur here.
img = img.filter(ImageFilter.GaussianBlur(self.radius))Thanks for the awesome addon(s) by the way, much appreciated.
Kindly,
Daniel
