Just in case if others are still having this issue:

I updated Kodi from 14.x to 15.0 which broke my Tvheadend-based Live TV. The kodi.log says:

Code:

ERROR: PVR - Add-on 'Tvheadend HTSP Client' is using an incompatible API version. XBMC minimum API version = '1.9.6', add-on API version '1.9.2'

I'm using the team-xbmc PPA on Ubuntu 14.04:

Code:

cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/team-xbmc-ppa-trusty.list

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/ppa/ubuntu trusty main

Code:

aptitude show kodi

Kodi package seems to suggest the use of kodi-pvr-tvheadend-hts. Let's see do we have that:

Code:

aptitude show kodi-pvr-tvheadend-hts

Package: kodi-pvr-tvheadend-hts
New: yes
State: installed
Automatically installed: no
Version: 1.9.40-6trusty

Yes we do have that. However, some people elsewhere were talking about kodi-pvr-hts, so what's that then?

Code:

aptitude show kodi-pvr-hts

Package: kodi-pvr-hts
New: yes
State: not installed
Version: 2.1.16-1~trusty
Priority: extra

Conflicts: kodi-pvr-tvheadend-hts
Replaces: kodi-pvr-tvheadend-hts

Aha! kodi-pvr-hts has a newer version number and it replaces the kodi-pvr-tvheadend-hts. Let's use that then:

Code:

sudo apt-get install kodi-pvr-hts
