Tvheadend

You need a later version of the tvheadend pvr.hts addon for Jarvis - but you'd already guessed that, I suspect.

Similar debate here:

http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=249133&pid=2168398#pid2168398

The link that poster gives also hosts i386 and amd64 builds, so give it a whirl (I only have what I compiled for my brief dalliance with Jarvis, and I don't know if I can bundle them up at all).

PAUSES

Actually, just looking at the official PPA, there's a version dated yesterday that's kodi-pvr-hts 2.2.9-1~trusty - so you might well get that on an apt-get update/upgrade now.

It works -- thanks

I have the same issue:

ERROR: PVR - Add-on 'Tvheadend HTSP Client' is using an incompatible API version. XBMC minimum API version = '4.1.0', add-on API version '1.9.6'
        15:47:15 T:2525492048 WARNING: UpdateAndInitialiseClients - failed to create add-on Tvheadend HTSP Client, status = 6
        15:47:15 T:2525492048 WARNING: UpdateAndInitialiseClients - failed to load the dll for add-on Tvheadend HTSP Client, disabling it

Is there a archlinux/AUR method of installing the latest? I tried to compile the one in AUR and I get this error:

Thanks,

EDIT: In the meantime I will try and build from the git source.

Nope, did not work. The plugin is installed correctly and is Version 2.2.9 ....
What version ove tvheadend is compatible with it? Maybe I have an older tvheadend server ?

EDIT: The server version is 4.1-31~g86ef485

I don't get the API error anymore, but Now I get this in the log:

I put the pvr.hts directory in /usr/share/kodi/addons, is this not correct?

Never mind, I forgot to copy the libs over to /usr/lib/kodi/addons/pvr.hts .....
All good now ..

I also managed to get the AUR version of tvheadend to compile by removing the -Werror out of the top level Makefile.

Looks like I am only speaking to myself though .... not much action on this forum

If you don't want to build it yourself, I found a link to a prebuilt binary deb pkg that is also working on Jarvis over on the KODI forums.

https://launchpad.net/~nkvoronov/+archive/ubuntu/kodi-jarvis/+build/8293088

It seems to be working on my setup running on UBUNTU 14.04.

I had the same problem with an Archlinux 64-bit system and all the solutions discussed here or at some arch-forums didn't work. At least I followed the second comment in this feed:

[[https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kodi-addon-pvr-hts-git/]]. But first I got the same error mentioned at the beginning of this feed (Nick Sillito). I was rather irritated that the tvheadend-client wanted to connect to an IPv6-address like fe80::be5f:f4ff:fefb:9f3a. So I just opened a terminal within

nano ~/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/pvr.hts/settings.xml
