Hello, could you please help?

I have Kodi installed on a fresh Ubuntu 16.04. Using the Ubuntu repository I can run VDR and VNSI with a DVBT-stick. This works fine, but I dont like the old version. So I installed Kodi 16 from the team-xbmc/trusty ppa. I am trying to setup live-tv with no success. I tried several ppa's with vdr and vdr-plugin-vnsiserver all giving the same error. Now I followed the Receipt "How to compile vdr + vnsiserver from source" which seemed to work. At least vdr runs from the terminal without error message. Of course vdr is not yet finally configured witch channels.conf etc. But when I try to activate TV I get the same error again as before in kodi.log:

Code:
ERROR: ADDON: Could not locate pvr.vdr.vnsi.so

I have absolutely no idea what to do now. This is the complete kodi.log:

Please give advice, how to go on, thanks.

There is a vnsiserver plugin for VDR and a VNSI PVR addon that is required by Kodi. pvr.vdr.vnsi.so is the addon for Kodi.
Have a look at this thread: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=231955

Thank you for the fast reply!
The recommended thread sounds very interesting regarding VAAPI and Kodi 17 but I think it will not help to solve my problem.
I installed kodi 16 together with kodi-pvr-vdr-vnsi client from team-xbmc/trusty ppa.
In the meantime I compared my old installation on ubuntu 14.04 with the new one and found the directory /usr/lib/kodi/addons/pvr.vdr.vnsi/ which contains a link pvr.vdr.vnsi.so. In the new installation kodi 16 on ubuntu 16.04 this directory is missing ! Just to try I copied the complete directory from the old to the new system. After that the message "ADDON: Could not locate pvr.vdr.vnsi.so" disappeared from the kodi.log and the vnsi-client starts at least!!!
Now I have other problems because vdr is not yet configured correctly and need more investigation to solve that.

But:
For my understandig the installation of kodi-pvr-vdr-vnsi client is faulty.
I repeated the installation from scratch and again the directory /usr/lib/kodi/addons/pvr.vdr.vnsi/ is missing.

You can't copy vnsi from a different installation. I would use Kodi + vnsi from the ppa mentioned in the linked thread: ppa:wsnipex/xbmc-fernetmenta-master

I removed vdr, kody etc. and tried to install kodi from the recommended ppa:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:wsnipex/xbmc-fernetmenta-master
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install kodi kodi-bin vdr-plugin-vnsiserver

Unfortunately it doesnt work because of unresolveble dependancies:

Die folgenden Pakete haben unerfüllte Abhängigkeiten:
kodi : Hängt ab von: libgnutls-deb0-28 ist aber nicht installierbar oder
libgnutls28 ist aber nicht installierbar oder
libgnutls26 ist aber nicht installierbar
Hängt ab von: python-support (>= 0.90.0) ist aber nicht installierbar
Empfiehlt: libva-intel-vaapi-driver ist aber nicht installierbar
kodi-bin : Hängt ab von: libgnutls-deb0-28 (>= 3.3.0) ist aber nicht installierbar
E: Probleme können nicht korrigiert werden, Sie haben zurückgehaltene defekte Pakete.

I have installed libgnutls30, cannot find libgnutls28.

To clarify, my system is ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64 bit with unity (no server version), Intel I5-2500K Sandybridge Desktop.

I think. I have to give up for the moment ?

I'll ask the packagers about current status. It was used to work.

The guy who does those packages in on holiday. We expect to have packages for 16.04. next week. Sorry, for having not known earlier.

OK. Thank you for the fast responses!
Do not hurry, I am waiting as long as it will take, no problem.

May be the package-expert can also have a look on the older/current version. I still believe that there is an error. On the trusty installation pvr.vdr.vnsi.so sits in the path /usr/lib/kodi/addons/pvr.vdr.vnsi/
whilest in the xenial installation it sits in the path /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/kodi/addons/pvr.vdr.vnsi/

Here is an extract of properties from the two synaptics trusty and xenial:

For me, this is the reason for my problem in post #1.
Obviously kodi looks for the addon in /usr/lib/kodi... and not in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu...

With kind regards.

Just to complete the stuff, kodi 16 from the team-xbmc ppa now works on xenial with vdr and vnsi-server from ubuntu repository.

To enable this I copied the complete path /usr/lib/kodi/addons/pvr.vdr.vnsi (containing kodi-pvr-vdr-vnsi Version: 1.11.14-1) from the trusty-installation to xenial.

May be this is technically nonsense, but it works fo me.

Today I tried with kodi 16.1 on a different machine under final xenial.
the path
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/kodi/addons/pvr.vdr.vnsi/pvr.vdr.vnsi.so
disappeared. Now I have
/usr/lib/kodi/addons/library.xbmc.pvr/libXBMC_pvr-x86_64-linux.so

The message ERROR: ADDON: Could not locate pvr.vdr.vnsi.so remains.

Can you please provide:

dpkg -L kodi-pvr-vdr-vnsi

On my system:

/usr/lib/kodi/addons/pvr.vdr.vnsi/pvr.vdr.vnsi.so.17.0

and dpkg -L kodi-bin

All as it should be.

Here it is:

I've just checked the current vnsi package in our stable PPA and it has the correct location:

edit: same for the xenial package

if it still doesn't work, provide the output of:
apt-cache policy kodi-pvr-vdr-vnsi

somehow, you have an isengard (not jarvis) pvr.vdr.vnsi addon installed

please do:

apt-get update
apt-cache policy kodi-pvr-vdr-vnsi
apt-get upgrade
dpkg -l kodi-pvr-vdr-vnsi
dpkg -L kodi-pvr-vdr-vnsi

It seems that I have now received a new version:
kodi-pvr-vdr-vnsi (1.11.17-1~xenial)

I think this should solve the problem. To make sure, I will do a fresh installation and report tomorrow.

Thank you very much for now!
