Hi guys,

I've just updated to XBMC (13.0-ALPHA10 Git:27834c6) when doing a recent apt-get upgrade

My TVHeadend PVR client isn't working Sad

I'm getting the following error in my debug log.

PHP Code:
13:02:03 T:2827991872   DEBUGPVR Create creating PVR add-on instance 'Tvheadend HTSP Client'

Any ideas? I'm guessing the client needs to be updated. Is a new version available somewhere?
you have to upgrade the xbmc-pvr-tvheadend-hts package too.

Code:
sudo apt-get remove xbmc-pvr-tvheadend-hts
sudo apt-get install xbmc-pvr-tvheadend-hts
Tried that with no luck. Ended up compiling from source doing the following:

Uninstall current Tvheadend HTSP Client from XBMC.

Then:

Code:
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/opdenkamp/xbmc-pvr-addons
cd xbmc-pvr-addons/
./bootstrap
./configure --enable-addons-with-dependencies
make zip

I also had to copy a new version of XBMC_Tvheadend.pvr (destination was correct for Ubuntu 12.04 but might vary):

Code:
sudo cp ~/xbmc-pvr-addons/addons/pvr.hts/addon/XBMC_Tvheadend.pvr /usr/lib/xbmc/addons/pvr.hts/XBMC_Tvheadend.pvr

Then installed addon from zip file located at:

Code:
~/xbmc-pvr-addons/addons/pvr.hts-linux-i486.zip

A faff but works for now. Can I assume the xbmc-pvr-tvheadend-hts package needs updated or am I missing something?
Thanks for posting those instructions.

Saved me a lot of hassle.
if you use the official ppa everything should work with update/upgrade
Thanks a lot! Had the exact same problem after an apt-get upgrade. xbmc-pvr-tvheadend-hts was the latest version, but it wouldn't work. Now it works.
Glad it worked. Looks like a wider issue?
to solve the version issue please use the addons from the nightly ppa:

https://launchpad.net/~team-xbmc/+archiv...hive-extra

on the bottom you find the .deb files

download your addon .deb and install it manually

Code:
sudo apt-get remove <youraddon>
sudo dpkg -i <deb-file-location>

restart xbmc.
addons in the unstable ppa have been updated
Yay Smile Thanks wsnipex!
friends,
  I need help to install the addon in xbmc tvheadend windows, can someone help me? I found a version of the addon however when I activate the fault.

I am using theGhotam and helix

That's your problem, i.e. you're not making any sense. Your addon will need to be made for Gotham if you're using Gotham, if it doesn't work then you need to post a debug log.
