TvOS Kodi Build - hoppel118 - 2019-08-22

Well done! Thank you so much [emoji106]


RE: TvOS Kodi Build - kavy - 2019-08-23

I am very excited to see updates in this thread. Although 17.6 works great for me there is a few visual updates I like from 18 as well as some library updates that work great on my firetv that don’t work well on my APTV4k.

Thanks again for all the work that goes into this, I can’t wait for a deb file release!


RE: TvOS Kodi Build - bigjpayne90 - 2019-08-24

Same here... Tried building it on my MacBook Air and the wife's Pro (both latest OS and Xcode) with no luck.  

Will have to (patiently) wait for the .deb...

Thanks for all the hard work y'all!

What problems did you have?


RE: TvOS Kodi Build - pogar - 2019-08-24

Which repo and branch have you tried to build?

What problems did you have?  

After "make -j$(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN)" I see "make: *** [native/.installed-x86_64-osx-native] Error 2" near the bottom.  I also see "configure: WARNING: the version of M4 that was found does not support -g
configure: WARNING: using it with POSIXLY_CORRECT set may cause problems
checking how m4 supports trace files... --error-output" when I cmd+f error.


When I try to build add-ons with "make -C tools/depends/target/binary-addons" I get:

make: *** No rule to make target `/Users/Shared/xbmc-depends/x86_64-darwin18.7.0-native/share/automake-1.16/config.sub', needed by `.installed-appletvos12.4_arm64-target-debug'.  Stop.

My full log is apparently too long for paste.kodi.tv...

I'm very new to this so I apologize if this is a basic or beginner mistake and I can wait patiently for the .deb release.

I appreciate everyones help

PS- I get further on our other machine, but still fail.  I'll post the error message(s) I get from there too..

RE: TvOS Kodi Build - bigjpayne90 - 2019-08-25

On the macbook pro my failure point is Generate Xcode project for ARM:
make -C tools/depends/target/cmakebuildsys

I get https://paste.kodi.tv/omuboginiy

Thanks again y'all!  And I apologize if it's an obvious mistake (because I really have no idea what I'm doing!)


RE: TvOS Kodi Build - Fuzzard - 2019-08-25

You have a failed dependency build it looks like

Could NOT find Python (missing: PYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR PYTHON_LIBRARY)

Rebuild your dependencies.

I get exatly same error as above when trying to build... (based on same git-pull)
but i already have python installed.


RE: TvOS Kodi Build - Fuzzard - 2019-08-25

The kodi build system installs everything it needs. It doesnt require, or use, any versions of python your system may have.

Go to https://github.com/fuzzard/xbmc/blob/master_darwin-embedded-ATV/docs/README.tvOS.md#4-configure-and-build-tools-and-dependencies and redo everything in there.
Be sure to read the warning at the bottom of that section. You need it to finish saying "Dependencies built successfully."

Edit: i should clarify probably, you need xcode installed. Make sure you have ran it once to accept the uela's. You will also want to install the command line tools

First off great job on getting Leia to work on the ATV4, so excited about this but I have a question.

Do the addon ExtendedInfoScript works for this build? The reason why I ask is because I could never to get it to work on my Apple TV 4 using 17.6, always pops up with a error.


RE: TvOS Kodi Build - Columbo4Life - 2019-08-26

those guys say they have Kodi 18 and 19 already ported to install to AppleTV:

https://www.koditvbox.ca/product/kodi-for-apple-devices/

Also confirmed it on their Twitterfeed... so could it just be extrapolated from an AppleTV when it is installed?

They’re definitely using the build the guys here are putting together. They say it’s in Alpha just as the current Kodi 19 build is and they mention they will never have Kodi 18. Kind of scummy they’re selling this.

No idea. Would need some clear instructions i can follow to replicate/use that script. i dont personally use many addons (1 actually), so to look into it id need some info on replicating, or at least giving me the minimum addons i would need to know/use to find out if it works.
