Kodi Log Error MythTV PVR Client is using an incompatible API
#1
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.

Did you get the addon from the janbar's PPA here? Check out the discussion thread in this forum for the deets.

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?

What is the output of
Code:
dpkg -l | grep '^ii' | grep pvr | awk '{print $2 "\t" $3}'

It should return
Code:
kodi-pvr-mythtv-helix-dbg       1.12.16~384~ubuntu14.04.1
and if you check the addon version in Kodi->Settings->Addons->Enabled Addons->PVR->mythtv, the version should also be 1.12.16
Yours might be slightly different near the end but the 1.12.16 is what we are looking for.

Otherwise, the stock addon is still installed and will only work with Kodi 14.1rc1 and earlier. After rc2, the API was bumped to 1.9.6 if I recall correctly.

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!
