tvheadend and Jarvis beta

Added by Nick Sillito almost 9 years ago

I am probably missing something here, but I have installed Kodi 16 Beta 2 (Jarvis) on my desktop machine, running Linux Mint 17.2 (64 bit).

When I read the change log for Jarvis, is says "Added, updated, and improved PVR backend clients addons for all popular third-party external PVR backend platforms" and lists TVheadend as one of the supported backends.

When I try to install the backend (apt-get install kodi-pvr-hts) I am told that I have the up-to-date version installed, but when I attempt to run kodi, I get the message that the PVR client cant be loaded and the following in the kodi log:

21:08:42 T:139850149775104 NOTICE: Autoconfigure - auto-configured Tvheadend #2 using host 'fe80::be5f:f4ff:fefb:9f3a' and port '9982'

21:08:42 T:139850149775104 WARNING: UpdateAndInitialiseClients - failed to load the dll for add-on Tvheadend HTSP Client, disabling it

According to the kodi UI, I have version 2.1.18 of hts installed.

I have the following repositories set up for the kodi beta:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/unstable/ubuntu trusty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/unstable/ubuntu trusty main

Is there a tvheadend client for Jarvis, and if so what am I doing wrong?

Thanks

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'

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.

RE: tvheadend and Jarvis beta - Added by Bernard Mentink almost 9 years ago

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:

cat .kodi/temp/kodi.log |grep pvr

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

RE: tvheadend and Jarvis beta - Added by Bernard Mentink almost 9 years ago

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 ;)

RE: tvheadend and Jarvis beta - Added by Kevin Larsen almost 9 years ago

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.

RE: tvheadend and Jarvis beta - Added by J_ oergZ over 8 years ago

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
and changed the entry with IPv6 address to the valid IPv4 address (something like 192.168.x.x) of my tvheadend-server - a small Raspberry Pi et voila Kodo Jarvis works fine with Archlinux. I don't know, why a IPv6 address seems to be given as a standard in private networks, but this seems to be the solution for the problem discussed here.
