Linux PVR Addon development information
#1
Hello,

I am trying to develop a new PVR inside XBMC. I am looking into the PVR demo sample code but did not manage to make it run.

I have done the folowing:

1) xbmc compilation (under /home/ubuntu/test_xbmc/xbmc)
==> this steps works properly

2) pvr addon compilation and installation
mkdir source
cd source
git clone git://github.com/fetzerch/xbmc-pvr-addons.git
cd xbmc-pvr-addons
./bootstrap
./configure --enable-addons-with-dependencies
make clean zip
==> this steps works properly

3) Launch xbmc (/home/ubuntu/test_xbmc/xbmc/xbmc.bin)
==> this steps works properly

4) Addon-Import from the pvr demo zip file (located under /home/ubuntu/test_xbmc/source/xbmc-pvr-addons/addons/pvr.demo-linux-i486.zip)
==> Error "dependancies not met"
The log file provides the following error: "Addon pvr.demo requires xbmc.pvr version 1.8.0 which is not available"

The xbmc.pvr addon brought by xbmc source code is under 1.8.1 (located under /home/ubuntu/test_xbmc/xbmc/addons/xbmc.pvr/addon.xml

It seems that my xbmc environment does not look for the xbmc/pvr addon.

Could someoen help me understand the error and provide me the information to build and install the demo pvr sample?

Thanks in advance,

GG

Change the line into /home/ubuntu/test_xbmc/source/xbmc-pvr-addons/addons/pvr.demo/addon/addon.xm.in
Code:
<import addon="xbmc.pvr" version="1.8.0"/>
Change 1.8.0 to 1.8.1 then recompile addons with following command:
make clean zip
