You can use my build from my ppa: janbar
Choose pkg kodi-pvr.mythtv-krypton

Thanks janbar. wsnipex has fixed the issue with the Launchpad builds, and now the team-xbmc/unstable PPA is properly building addons for amd64 / trusty that actually work, including the excellent pvr.mythtv! Thanks for maintaining it; I look forward to using it now that it works in my Kodi 17 installation!

Ok - this one has me stumped. I have installed Kodi Krypton - rc3 via the package manager on Gentoo (x86). It works, but I can't get the pvr.mythtv add on compiled and functioning beside it. This is the first time it's simply refused to work.

I also removed the package manager version and installed from scratch.

I don't get much in the way of logs

ERROR: ADDON: Dll MythTV PVR Client - Client returned bad status (6) from Create and is not usable

I have unpacked the source and also compiled it locally and use that to try and build a .zip. This error occurs when I try to add the zip to the addons.

I changed branch on pvr.mythtv to Krypton, and built it using:

cmake -DADDONS_TO_BUILD=pvr.mythtv -DADDON_SRC_PREFIX=../.. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../../xbmc/addons -DPACKAGE_ZIP=1 ../../xbmc/project/cmake/addons

make

make package-pvr.mythtv

Everything compiles OK, it simply refuses to load.

Degub logs?

Also tried on origin/master

Don't know about Gentoo, but have you "in pvr.mythtv/build/pvr.mythtv-prefix/src/pvr.mythtv-build/" got a zip file called "addon-pvr.mythtv-4.12.12.zip". If so you can try putting it in .kodi/addons/ and unzipping it i.e.
unzip -o addon-pvr.mythtv-4.12.12.zip

This should override whatever is in /usr/local/share/kodi/addons/pvr.mythtv...

It's not really a question of running the correct addon, I know it's finding the files correctly, it's some sort of incompatibility between kodi and the plugin.

I have cleared out the older pvr.mythtv files systemwide and in local home directories.

Not simple to do. Using 'normal' branches as Krypton or master, you need kodi sources from compatible version to compile succesfully the addon.

So the easy way is to use my special branches 'devel...' to do the job without beat the head on the walls.

So , you should checkout the branch devel-17 , and then compile and build the zip as explain in the readme, and that without checkout kodi sources.
It is more easy I think.

Edit: devel-17 is the branch to build a standalone addon for kodi 17 (krypton)

If you want compile it using normal branch Krypton, then you need to checkout the corresponding branch from kodi sources: Krypton. Else it will compile a fake.

Still no joy..

Am using GCC 5.4 am not sure if that's what's making a difference. I can't get Kodi to compile on 4.9.4 which is the alternative.

I tried by unpacking the .zip in /usr/local/share/kodi/addons and also manually unpacking it in the UI. Both are giving the same error.

I have a channel that will no longer play in kodi, either livetv or recording. Get the hourglass and then exits to guide. I am using Kodi 17.0 RC3 and Mythtv PVR client 4.12.12.

If I downgrade to Kodi 16 and myth tv pvr 3.4.14 everything works. I can provide a short recording file if that would help.

I'd really like to fix this, I don't mind compiling from source. Can I put the addon inside kodi and compile it at the same time? How do I check the versions are the same?

Yes please, drop it somewhere I can get it. Thanks.

@rdoac

Found a thread on Gentoo forum about building pvr.mythtv, it needs adjusting for Krypton. It may or may not help.
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1050982.html

BTW Krypton is as RC 4 now, my source build on Linux (Ubuntu 16.04) is 17.0-RC4 Git:2017-01-25-40a8e8e Media Center Kodi

There is something incompatible between your kodi binary and the addon binary. Regarding the log, the addon can't register itself to kodi. I can't see more. Probably you should restart from a clean state by uninstalling kodi and all manually installed addons, and erase the kodi user folder: $HOME/.kodi/. Then trying only the distro packages, or build yourself kodi and addon. But don't mix.

Goto https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/med...pvr-mythtv
Seems distro has something right. If you have issue with the package for gentoo you should contact the mainteners to request fix.

Edit: also please drop somewhere the addon zip you have build. I will try it.
