Hi, i saw we have now a new git for the post HELIX pvr addons, https://github.com/kodi-pvr/pvr.vdr.vnsi.
I tried building the vnsi addon but cmake fails with the following error:

costin@htpc:/usr/src/xbmc-stuff/pvr.vdr.vnsi$ cmake .
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:10 (find_package):
By not providing "Findkodiplatform.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project
has asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by
"kodiplatform", but CMake did not find one.

Could not find a package configuration file provided by "kodiplatform" with
any of the following names:

kodiplatformConfig.cmake
kodiplatform-config.cmake

Add the installation prefix of "kodiplatform" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
"kodiplatform_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If
"kodiplatform" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it
has been installed.


-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

where do i find help to get this working?

[ironic_monkey]

install kodi-platform, https://github.com/xbmc/kodi-platform.
you also have to execute the install target of kodi to get the cmake helpers and addon bindings installed.

[a_user]

thanks. that worked.

Hello,

Can someone shine a light on this, I don't see the would through the trees .
I'm trying to install the latest pvr-vnsi addon

My Kodi paths:

Kodi source:
/home/carel/src/kodi/kodi-git

Kodi Platform:
/home/carel/src/kodi/kodi-platform

Latest vnsi source:
/home/carel/src/kodi/pvr.vdr.vnsi

Kodi itself is compiled with --prefix=/usr and has been installed.
I tried some suggestions I found, but could someone be so gentle to explain to run cmake and Variables to set?

Many thanks!

Carel

[wsnipex]

Code:

cd /home/carel/src/kodi/kodi-platform
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr # or /usr/local, which is the default
make && sudo make install

cd /home/carel/src/kodi/pvr.vdr.vnsi
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr # must match kodis prefix
make && sudo make install

[nekanali]

That's what I call a quick answer :-)

I'm going to try asap, many thanks!

Ok I have tried this in mock build environment for Centos7.

kodi is in /builddir/build/BUILD/kodi
kodi-platform is in /builddir/build/BUILD/kodi-platform
pvr.hts is in /builddir/build/BUILD/pvr.hts

The <cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX-/usr> from kodi-platform fails with this result

Code:

And when I got pvr.hts cmake to complete and then run make it is ok, but make install finds no target to make.
not sure where to go next.

Building the pvr.hts fails in the same way

I've built and installed kodi-gotham, kodi-helix and even kodi-isengard in mock/centos, but this new cmake addon business is a real pain.

[wsnipex]

You must have kodi installed... The addons are looking for $kodi_install_prefix/lib/kodi/kodi-config.cmake
If $kodi_install_prefix is a non standard location, you must pass -DCMAKE_MODULE_PATH=$kodi_install_prefix/lib/kodi

I suggest you try this on a normal system first, not in that mock build stuff.

[ironic_monkey]

it is fine to do it with mock but you have to install both kodi and kodiplatform in the mock env first.

[boblfoot]

I must say those who persist are finally rewarded.

I successfully built kodi-platform rpm with following spec file.

These successfully build and install to my Centos 7 system which was running Helix, but the addon still crashes for a reason I'll need to debug later today.

Thanks ironic_monkey and wsnipex for your patience and continued assistance.

[boblfoot]

wsnipex - I've been referencing the kodi build tree when building the platform and pvr. I'll try installing kodi into the mock environment and not the source tree and see if this makes a difference. May be the bug I am chasing.

Debug Log shows this

Code:

06:23:13 T:140285619189504   DEBUG: ADDON: Dll Initializing - Tvheadend HTSP Client
06:23:13 T:140285619189504   ERROR: ADDON: Could not locate pvr.hts.so

06:23:13 T:140285619189504 WARNING: UpdateAndInitialiseClients - failed to load the dll for add-on Tvheadend HTSP Client, disabling it

Event hough a search of the system with tree -fi / | grep pvr.hts.so returns this

Code:

/usr/lib/kodi/addons/pvr.hts/pvr.hts.so -> pvr.hts.so.15.0
/usr/lib/kodi/addons/pvr.hts/pvr.hts.so.15.0 -> pvr.hts.so.2.1.7
/usr/lib/kodi/addons/pvr.hts/pvr.hts.so.2.1.7

My file manipulations with rpmbuild may have put these in the wrong location?

[wsnipex]

the cmake based pvr addons do not work with helix. You have to use kodi master.

[boblfoot]

you misunderstand. I am using the kodi master pvr addons with kodi, but was using the xbmc-tree/helix addons with helix. So I know that kodi & pvr.hts should work if built and installed correctly which it isn't yet.

[boblfoot]

Ok trying to build kodi-platform with kodi installed rather than the kodi git tree and I get the following issue that puzzles me.

Code:

tinyxml is installed and /usr/lib64/kodi/addon-helpers.cmake exists as well.

DO I NEED BOTH THE GIT KODI TREE and INSTALLED KODI to build kodi-platform?

[ironic_monkey]

a small bug. edit /usr/lib64/kodi/kodi-config.cmake and change from

Code:

LIST(APPEND CMAKE_MODULE_PATH @prefix@/lib/kodi)

to

Code:

LIST(APPEND CMAKE_MODULE_PATH @prefix@/lib64/kodi)

note that @prefix@ have been substituted in the installed file.

wsnipex: we need to use CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR there from e.g. UseMultiArch.cmake in kodi-platform.
