Hi all,
I've just upgraded from 12 (!) to 14, and i'm a bit surprised that Kodibuntu seems to think that I can't enable Live TV as I havn't got a backend or an Add on.
however I installed TVheadend from command line fine, but when I choose addons, Enabled addons, there's no PVR clients at all!
I am probably doing something stupid but can anyone guide me through how to get a working TVH addon please?
maybe it's under "disabled" addons. Sometimes, if one of those addons are installed, they are marked as "disabled". Check if you have a "disabled addon" menu point under "addons" and take a look there.
I don't have a disabled add-on section! I used to on 12.
Did you enable PVR in system settings?
If yes and there is still nothing...
Debug Log please
do you mean System > Live TV > Enabled? If so, that's exactly what i'm trying to do and it complains that I don't have a backend or an add-on enabled.
is it ok to simply install TVheadend via apt-get? I Didn't install xbmc-pvr-blah blah.......
You said, you installed the TVHeadend via command line. That would mean, you have done this:
http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Install_Kod...PVR_Addons
Did you do this, or not? If not, do this first please
Note: it's not xbmc-pvr anymore, as you should run Kodi now
So you should do this:
Code:
sudo apt-get install kodi-pvr-tvheadend-hts
right, I'm getting somewhere now.
No I had not ran sudo apt-get install kodi-pvr-tvheadend-hts, what I had done is added the TVH repository, and sudo apt-get installed tvheadend. Then I configured it through the web interface.
I just ran apt-get kodi-pvr-tvheadend-hts, and now it lets me enable live tv. However in the Add-on, it doesn't let me enable it, saying there's an error in the log, but I don't know which log file.
Just upgraded to 14.2 by the way.
does this log help?

the log can be found under:
~/.kodi/temp/kodi.log
you can provide it with:
Code:
cat ~/.kodi/temp/kodi.log | pastebinit
It might be, that "pasebinit" is not installed already...then do a:
Code:
sudo apt-get install pastebinit
before. Maybe there is something in the log...but enable debug logging first in your system setting->system->debugging->enable debug logging
Greetings
and don't post log snippets....always the full log file on a pastebin site and provide the link to it
seems the addon can't reach the backend...but I might be wrong....
Did you configured your backend correctly? Via the webinterface?
Maybe you have to follow steps from here:
http://kodi.wiki/view/Tvheadend_PVR
But you have already a TV card, don't you? Is this card on the same PC where the backend and Kodi runs on?

Yes I'm 90% sure TVH gives the correct output, i can see channels, an EPG etc.

Yes it's the front and backend all on one machine. There are 2 different TV cards connected to this instance, a dual tuner and a single tuner
Can you use a sane backend while you are at it? I suggest VDR + vnsi.
