Hi,
I got problems activating TVHeadend on my XBMCBuntu with Kodi.
Before I used tne pvr-vu+ Plugin, to fetch data from Dreambox.
I removed it and installed the package: kodi-pvr-tvheadend-hts
After that I went trough Addons and tried to activate it, without having success.
Debug Log says:

Code:

I removed the Addons*.db, Epg*.db and TV*.db, without getting this working.
Could someone please help?

Did you configure it with the IP address of the TVHeadEnd server?

Also, installing kodi-pvr-tvheadend-hts from your distro's repository is necessary in Kodi Helix, but in XBMC Gotham I think you are still supposed to use the TVHeadEnd addon version in the XBMC addons repository. So you may need to upgrade to Kodi Helix, or else uninstall the addon you installed and get the one from the Kodi addon repository (from within Kodi itself). Upgrading to Kodi Helix would probably be the better approach, but I don't know if XBMCbuntu has a Kodi version yet, since I just use Kodi on a regular Ubuntu desktop system, and the package you installed works fine for me with Helix.
I did install Kodi from the ppa mentioned in one of the threads here. Coukd say just using a normal Trusty Tahr as OS.
I did install the package kodi-pvr-tvheadend-hts via apt-get,due there is no pvr section in addons in kodi itself.
Did I need to install a further package?
No, but if you installed Kodi Helix AFTER the addon, that might be the problem. You may need to completely remove the kodi-pvr-tvheadend-hts package and then reinstall it.

But first go into Kodi's "Installed Addons" and find that addon and select it, and make sure it is enabled. Just installing the addon is not sufficient, you need to enable it.

Also you did not answer my question about whether you configured it with the IP address of your TVHeadEnd server. If you haven't done that, it won't work.

If you've done those things, and have enabled Live TV then I don't know what the issue is.
The problem was related in a connection problem.
The Frontend was not able to connect to the backend.

Thanks for help.
