v18 18.0b4/Arch Linux Where to find the Mythtv PVR addon
#1
I am unable to find the Mythtv PVR addon on my kodi build (18.0b4 on Arch Linux x86_64).

Settings>Add-ons>Search ... "mythtv" give only "Script - MythBox".

What am I missing?

@graysky I believe something changed about the way that they are requiring the binary addons to be built now.  It must be built as a separate package from kodi.  The idea behind it seems to be that you can then have a smaller kodi binary and modularize the addons, primarily so that you can upgrade addons without needing to recompile the entire kodi package.

This is what I have been using to build the addon binary, but I will admit that it could use some work.  I started with what was on AUR and modified it for Leia.  The biggest problem I have is that I am not sure how to dictate which release of pvr.mythtv to build.  It seems to pull the latest release on github, so I don't even bother downloading the pvr.mythtv code with the PKGBUILD as it happens automatically during compilation.  However, the pkgver in the filename may not match what is being built...

Code:

pkgname=kodi-addon-pvr-mythtv
pkgver=5.8.13
_kodiver=18.0b4
_codename=Leia
pkgrel=0
pkgdesc='MythTV PVR client addon for Kodi'
arch=('armv7h' 'i686' 'x86_64')
url="http://janbar.github.io/pvr.mythtv/"
license=('GPL')
makedepends=('cmake' 'git')
depends=("kodi")
source=("https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/archive/${_kodiver}-$_codename.tar.gz")
md5sums=('af10526f9852570b552cbe66b11af0c1')

build() {
  mkdir -p "pvr.mythtv-${pkgver}/build"
  cd "pvr.mythtv-${pkgver}/build"

  cmake \
    -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
    -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
    -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=1 \
    -DADDONS_TO_BUILD=pvr.mythtv \
    -DADDONS_SRC_PREFIX=../.. \
    ../../xbmc-${_kodiver}-$_codename/cmake/addons
  make
}

package() {
  cd "pvr.mythtv-${pkgver}/build"
  install -d "${pkgdir}/usr"
  mv .install/lib "${pkgdir}/usr/"
  mv .install/share "${pkgdir}/usr/"
}

# vim:set ts=2 sw=2 et:

maybe @janbar or someone else can chime in with some helpful information.  But once I make the binary and install it, pvr.mythtv is available in Kodi.  Your mileage may vary since there are some library etc folders may differ from your installation.

Ah, thought it was provided by upstream like other plugins....
