Updated Kodi Build - Trouble installing newly built addon - VuPlus
#1
Hi,

I used to just simply build kodi and run it from the build directory. When I build and install the addon I would install it to the Kodi build directory for testing.

When I pulled the latest kodi last night it no longer works. The log states the addon is installed but that is the only mention of it and it doesn't appear in my addons.

Here's the debug log: https://pastebin.com/SYKeyN4x

Here's the cmake command I use for the addon from from the addons build dir (but I assume this just works as the correct version number appears as installed in the log):

Code:
cmake -DADDONS_TO_BUILD=pvr.vuplus -DADDON_SRC_PREFIX=../.. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../../xbmc/build/addons -DPACKAGE_ZIP=1 ../../xbmc/cmake/addons

It doesn't matter which pvr addon I try, if I install them they will appear as installed in the log, I just can't see them on the UI under my addons, there is not even a PVR Clients section, so I can't configure them. I've tried deleting userdata etc. but no luck. Using the old kodi build works ok.

Thanks in advance

@wsnipex any ideas?

This could also be a case of me doing something stupid Wink

Does anyone have any ideas, or detail on how they test the their PVR addons?

Here is the full set of steps that I use:
  1. git clone https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc.git
    1. Here I do a full build of kodi on MacOS using make, so my kodi binary is here: "xbmc/build/kodi.bin"
  2. git clone https://github.com/kodi-pvr/pvr.vuplus.git
  3. cd pvr.vuplus && mkdir build && cd build
  4. cmake -DADDONS_TO_BUILD=pvr.vuplus -DADDON_SRC_PREFIX=../.. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../../xbmc/build/addons -DPACKAGE_ZIP=1 ../../xbmc/cmake/addons
  5. make
This works perfectly fine on my old kodi build from several months ago. Something appears to have changed since (or I'm doing something silly) on the latest. Not an urgent issue but as the xbmc repo changes going forward I will need to upgrade at some point so I'd like to have a working solution.
