I'm trying to get Kodi to serve as the front end for MythTV (amongst other things) on a Raspberry Pi 3. After installing the MythTV add-on, I don't get the "TV" option in the menu bar.

I'm currently running Raspbian 4.4.11-v7+, with Kodi installed:
kodi-pvr-mythtv/stable,now 2.3.1~jessie
kodi/stable,now 2:15.2-2~jessie

My MythTV backend is mythtv-0.28-4.el7.nux.x86_64, and I can connect to the MYthTV server from a MythTV frontend installed on the Pi, so I know the connection and server are working.

I noticed that when I start Kodi on the Pi, I get errors on the MythTV backend:
Sep 13 16:19:58 glutton mythbackend: 2016-09-13 16:19:58.095177 C MainServer: MainServer::HandleVersion - Client speaks protocol version 75 but we speak 88!

What version of Kodi supports MythTV protocol 88?

It is not Kodi, you need a later version of pvr.mythtv try this one :
http://janbar.github.io/pvr.mythtv/downl...mhf-15.zip

Just download it to .kodi/addons/ and unzip it then restart kodi

This version will be picked instead of the version in raspian repos which is old.

That did it - thanks!

Bless you for this answer. I've been screwing with my backend, pins, kodi settings and everything else for an hour trying to get the kodi-pvr-mythtv in the raspbian repo working. I dropped this one on the pi and my channels started loading. I was about to give up.
