Please advise, Thanks

Looks like the cpack config needs an update

# Build addons
make -j$(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN) -C tools/depends/target/binary-addons PREFIX=${PREFIX}
make -C tools/depends/target/binary-addons clean

# Install
cd ${WD}/kodi-build
make install[/inline]

It all seems to compile and install ok. I can run Kodi fine, but I cant see the PVR addon. Advice greatfully recieved!

don't run make clean  on the addons

Made the change -- thank you! When I compile nad the run kodi.bin from the build directory it works fine (pvr addin available), but if I run kodi from /usr/local/bin the pvr addon isnt there

Thanks for the pointer, i was able to edit xbmc/cmake/cpack/deb/packages/kodi.txt.in file line 18 and had to add libnfs13 | to the existing libnfs8 | libnfs4 | libnfs 1 and then followed the procedure and the packages got built and now I have a nice 21 nightly running on my laptop.

Next challenge building inputstream-adaptive package, will delve on that now

Thanks a lot for your patience and time.

So 20.3 made it into Debian unstable yesterday. Now we just have to wait for Noble (24.04) to grab it...

Yes I certainly can and will raise a PR.

I was able to build the inpustream-adaptive, inpustream-ffmpegdirect, inpustream-rtmp as zips and install. Was wondering if there is any trick to build these too as deb files the way it is in PPA, if you have any pointers towards that would be great too. Once again, Thanks for your help

thanks for the PR

as for addons: you just need the kodi dev headers (package kodi-addon-dev) installed. Then just build each addon like every other cmake project. Debian packaging files are contained in the addon src, just need adjusting for the current version

So I just did a "do-release-upgrade -d" from Ubuntu 22.04 jammy to 24.04 noble and replaced the PPA packages with the Ubuntu repo ones. Working flawless.
