How to troubleshoot?
#1
I just installed Kodi and cannot figure out how to make it connect to my MythTV backend. I know everything is alright with backend because all mythfrontends work.

Kodi is not finding my backend. Is there a place in settings where I can insert hostname or IP address?

How to get debug information from Kodi? I started it on a terminal and nothing is printed to the terminal, I was looking for a log in /var/log and there is none for Kodi.

You might want to post in the mythtv subforum - more likely to get someone who uses PVR and, specifically, MythTV.

As it happens, the wiki suggests that it's in the PVR addon, which is where you'd probably expect to find it...

http://kodi.wiki/view/MythTV_PVR

First question would thus be 'have you installed the addon', second would be 'have you enabled it' and third would be 'have you configured it'.

Thanks for your reply. Smile

And thanks for the link, my search directed me to this page and it wasn't very helpful.

Anyhow. Installing in Gentoo and enabling pvr USE flag.

Code:
~ $ euse -i pvr
global use flags (searching: pvr)
************************************************************
no matching entries found

local use flags (searching: pvr)
************************************************************
[-      ] pvr
    media-tv/kodi: Enable MythTV support
        [+P ] 14.1 [gentoo]
              9999 [gentoo]
Kind of leaves you under impression enabling this flag enables MythTV support. Guess what, the plugin was not installed.
Had to do this:
Code:
wget https://github.com/dvblogic/xbmc-pvr-addons/archive/helix.zip
And after unzipping this:
Code:
./bootstrap; ./configure --enable-addons-with-dependencies; make zip
