Tvheadend

Hi,

I have a pi 4 running debian buster 10 as a desktop. I want to run kodi as an item on the desktop - not a libreelec or osmc version. I have a Tvheadend server on a different device that is working correctly.

I have installed kodi from the command line, and it's installed version 18.6 and all seems fine apart from the fact that the option to select pvr is missing. So I have installed tvheadend with sudo apt-get install kodi-pvr-hts, and the clien appears, I add the IP address, username and password and it's happy with that. I go to tv menu item on Kodi, and the PVR manager is starting up stays stuck at zero percent. I've read that clearing the cache can help, tried that but still the same.

Any ideas please?
