Solved kodi doesn't show the TV button after a reboot.
#1
My setup is;
XUBUNTU 16.04
HDHOMERUN PRIME
MYTHTV 2:0.28.2+fixes.20180202.8238e83-0ubuntu0mythbuntu1
KODI  2:17.6+git20171114.2125-final-0xenial
SKIN Confluence

My issue is that kodi doesn't show the TV button after a reboot.
I don't know if it's a mythtv-backend issue or Kodi issue.
But this is how I fix it. I open mythtv-backend setup and select the IPV6 address and set it to my ipv6 address in the pull down menu.
Then I open Kodi and the guide starts downloading but fails with the "channel unavailable" screen.
Then I go back into mythtv-backend setup and put IPV6 address back to ::1 and Kodi is fine till the next reboot.

I tried disabling IPV6 via network manager but that makes my fix ineffective.
I also tried the network wait fix, it had no effect.
I tried a full reinstall but I have the same issue.

I don't see anything obvious in the Kodi crash log but this

17:57:39.960 T:140534232356608 NOTICE: UDP: Listening on port 9777 (ipv6 : false)
Maybe if i set this to true ?

Turn off ipv6 in mythtv - ie set the ipv6 address to blank.

Also possibly kodi is starting before mythbackend has started properly. If you restart kodi after bootup, does it show TV?

To receive meaningful assistance you will need to provide a full debug log.

The instructions are here... debug log (wiki)

If you are using the Basic Method, then ensure the following is applied...
1.Enable debugging in Settings>System Settings>Logging,
2.Restart Kodi
3.Replicate the problem.

If you are using the Advanced Method ensure you have correctly created and applied the advancedsettings.xml file.

In both instances, you should see the word DEBUG throughout the log.

Note: Full logs only. No partial or redacted logs
Do NOT post your logs directly into the forum. Always use a paste site like pastebin.com. Post the link to your pasted log in the forum

No TV button and the guide doesn't download
IPV6 set to ::1 (Default Setting)

TV button is visible and the guide downloads from the client but "Channel unavailable" 
IPV6 set to IPV6 address in drop down menu

TV button, guide and channel all work after doing the above and setting IPV6 back to ::1
IPV6 set back to ::1

Solved.
My problem was mysql was binded to 127.0.0.1 by editing the /etc/mysql/my.cnf and changing the IP it's now fixed.

How I changed the mysql IP address.

 sudo nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf

added this line.

[mysqld]
bind-address  =  192.168.1.150

and restarted mysql service.

sudo systemctl restart mysql.service

And checked the status for errors.

sudo systemctl status mysql.service

Rebooted several times to make sure it was fixed.

My settings now.
mysql bind-address  =  192.168.1.150
Mythtv backend IPV6 is now set to blank.
Kodi ip 192.168.1.150 * Was my default setting.
XUbuntu IPV6 is set to ignore * This can be left enabled or set to ignore.
