After the update to 14 I lost the MythTV PVR Client on my i86 Mythbuntu HTPC.
The Kodi.log states:
ERROR: PVR - Add-on 'MythTV PVR Client' is using an incompatible API version. XBMC minimum API version = '1.9.6', add-on API version '1.9.2'
I have removed and reinstalled the kodi-pvr-mythtv add on from repositories and also tried the kodi-pvr-mythtv-helix with the same error.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I added Janbar's ppa as a repo. That is how I get the kodi-pvr-mythtv-helix add on.
The version that installs for kodi-pvr-mythtv is 2.0.8 and for kodi-pvr-mythtv-helix is 1.12.16
No idea what the API version is. Is that a dependency that I also need to update?
Thank you for the reply. I've been reading forums for weeks trying to find an answer and finally broke down and asked for help. Is there a thread that I am missing that talks about this issue?

Using kodi helix (14.x) you have to install addon 1.12.16.
Using kodi dev branch (15.0) you have to install addon 2.x.y: it is provided by kodi team, or you can build it from my github branch named 'doityourself'.
But prefer use kodi helix because dev branch is only for testing.

Fixed!!! Thanks for the info guys. It turns out I had Kodi 15 installed. Even though I had installed addon 2.0.8, I may have had an issue with a conflict with an old xbmc addon.
The fix: I removed all old installs with sudo apt-get purge xbmc* and sudo apt-get purge kodi*. I made sure to remove the development repo with sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:team-xbmc/unstable. I then reinstalled the release Kodi 14.2 with sudo apt-get install kodi. And got the latest release mythtv addon 1.12.6 with sudo apt-get install kodi-pvr-mythtv.
Blessings!
