If you can't install the latest version, post a debug log (wiki) that shows you trying to install it.

@negge: I took 0.9.5 from http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=...pid1815588 and installed.

When trying to activate, an error comes up. In the log:

So, how do I get the missing glib?

Try compiling it yourself, your version of Ubuntu has an older version of glibc. You can also upgrade to Ubuntu 14.04.

Well, my problem is that I don't know how to compile

But then, if the pvr.tvh does work with an earlier version of glibc too, doesn't this mean that it would be more opportune to compile against such an earlier version in the first place, because it assures compatibility with more systems?

Look at the readme on Github, it's very easy. I've actually never encountered this particular error before so I don't know if it can be fixed by compiling differently or not.

Well, after some struggling I finally managed to creat *.zip files.

I can install and activate both pvr.tvh (0.9.5) and pvr.hts (1.9.31) on kodi and watch TV. There does not seem to be any difference in performance or behaviour. With both the switching between channels does take up to 30 seconds, much, much longer than before (tvheadend and kodi are on the same computer with i7 CPU).

pvr.tvh gives an error message:
20:18:57 T:140065158178560 ERROR: AddOnLog: Tvheadend Client: pvr.tvh - malformed dvrEntryAdd/dvrEntryUpdate
20:18:57 T:140063715358464 ERROR: Previous line repeats 2 times.

pvr.hts also gives an error:

20:24:26 T:139725578938112 NOTICE: Thread PVRGUIInfo start, auto delete: false

though in either case I can wathc live tv and records without any impact (as it seems)

But obviously, GLIBC 2.17 is not required. My Ubuntu precise 12.04 has glibc 2.15, and this seems sufficient. Would certainly increase the user base, if you make the glibc requirements less stringent.

I'll have to look into the malformed DVR message, but channel switch times have nothing to do with the addon. If it takes 30 seconds for you then obviously you're having other issues.

I have a problem, my kodi to display the channel, the image is locked, however when viewing the tvheadend the browser it is normal ...
    For all returns, need to change the channel ... Everything put back to work after a few minutes crashes again, forcing me to change the channel again.

I'm using Helix beta 1 -
tvheadend - 09/03/1991 ~ ~ trusty g464383a
Mac mini - Yosemite


Anyone have a version of the addon compiled for mac mini for the beta 1 kodi?

Can you get me a debug log?

Hi! I compile it to ARM (A20), using Linaro 14.04, but was unable to enable the addon. The error is:


Why this error occurred?

You must have compiled it incorrectly.

@negge, it took me more follow my log.
the error occurred between 18:10 and 18:12

Hi negge! I was trying compile to ARM. I fix this error running the command:
ps 1: I'm running linaro (ubuntu version) for allwiner A20.
ps 2: I edit Makefile on xbmc-pvr-addons/addons directory to compile only pvr.tvh

The compilation process ends and the zip file "pvr-tvh-linux-arm.zip" was generated.

When I installed, I got the error: "dependencies not met" and the output on xbmc.log was:

What could be wrong?

----- EDIT -----
I unzip manually the file into .xbmc/addons directory and try to enable the addon. The log output is:


and the xbmc crash. The link to xbmc crash log is on gist: https://gist.github.com/vitorcarvalhoml/...162b5a7077

I appreciate your help. Thanks!
