Kodi Community Forum

Hi there,

I'm compiling Kodi & Addons from source on Slackware 14.2 ARM and the last version of pvr.hts I was able to get compiled was 4.0.8 - git checkout 1caa390dc2ba92a7c614819a6fd427d534b09e62
Been using this version for some time now, still able to compile it whenever I need it and maybe that's why I did not report it until now, happy with it.

Every now and then I try the new code from the master branch and I'm always failing to compile it, getting some errors that might suggest broken source code.
Here is the log from my latest try from today:

What Kodi version are you building against?

Sorry I didn't mention that. I'm currently using Kodi Krypton 17.4, stuck with it because of the issues I had with 17.5 (audio code changes - "robustness" that crashed my ARM systems)
I do remember however that I wasn't able to build the latest versions of this pvr.hts addon with neither 17.1 / 17.2 .. etc, at the time these were released.

For more details about how I get Kodi & co compiled on ARM , here is where I documented the process for the Slackware community (there are some subsequent corrections in the thread)

git checkout krypton might help. Master is for Leia.

Thanks!

There's no krypton checkout, but you made me aware that there are also other trees besides master, krypton included. I just got it successfully compiled now, out of the krypton source:

Code:
wget https://github.com/kodi-pvr/pvr.hts/archive/Krypton.zip

The version is older - HTS_VERSION=3.4.28 than what I was using until now - 4.0.8 - git checkout 1caa390dc2ba92a7c614819a6fd427d534b09e62. Will check if it's performing better. With 4.0.8 I had some sync issues sometimes, got a blank screen and only audio play when switching channels too fast.
Will mark this thread as resolved.

Thanks all for the prompt care/help!

P.S.
Just wanted to add that I found the latest pvr.hts version that still compiles (compatible) with Kodi 17.x

    Remove not used part

https://github.com/kodi-pvr/pvr.hts/comm...e49f117eb2

The following will get the addon at version 4.0.9, it compiles & works well with Kodi 17.x Krypton

Code:
git checkout 0e0cd45f9da447c131003a4164623ee49f117eb2

The subsequent commit:
libXBMC_codec.h removed and changed to libXBMC_pvr.h
@AlwinEsch
AlwinEsch committed on Apr 29, 2017

https://github.com/kodi-pvr/pvr.hts/comm...0ea0f605bd

Is the first one to break the compatibility with Kodi 17.x

EDIT:
- Just realized that I was wrong with the previous assessment, git checkout 0e0cd45f9da447c131003a4164623ee49f117eb2 is not OK:
Kodi log:

Code:
WARNING: Unable to resolve: /pvr.hts.so.4.0.9 ADDON_HasSettings, reason: /usr/lib/kodi/addons/pvr.hts/pvr.hts.so.4.0.9: undefined symbol: ADDON_HasSettings

ERROR: Unable to resolve exports from dll /usr/lib/kodi/addons/pvr.hts/pvr.hts.so.4.0.9

ERROR: UpdateAddons - failed to create add-on Tvheadend HTSP Client, status = 6

As reported in the OP, the version 4.0.8 - git checkout 1caa390dc2ba92a7c614819a6fd427d534b09e62 is the last one compiling, working and tested (for some years) with Kodi 17.x
