TVHeadend PVR Client Fail - splendid - 2013-12-05

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   DEBUG: PVR - 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


RE: TVHeadend PVR Client Fail - splendid - 2013-12-05

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.

RE: TVHeadend PVR Client Fail - xhaggi - 2013-12-06

if you use the official ppa everything should work with update/upgrade

RE: TVHeadend PVR Client Fail - splendid - 2013-12-06

I'm using https://launchpad.net/~team-xbmc/+archive/unstable
This not OK?

RE: TVHeadend PVR Client Fail - Crypdos - 2013-12-08

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.

RE: TVHeadend PVR Client Fail - splendid - 2013-12-08

Glad it worked. Looks like a wider issue?

RE: TVHeadend PVR Client Fail - xhaggi - 2013-12-10

to solve the version issue please use the addons from the nightly ppa:

https://launchpad.net/~team-xbmc/+archive/xbmc-nightly/+sourcepub/3664411/+listing-archive-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.

RE: TVHeadend PVR Client Fail - wsnipex - 2013-12-11

addons in the unstable ppa have been updated

RE: TVHeadend PVR Client Fail - splendid - 2013-12-12

Yay Smile Thanks wsnipex!

RE: TVHeadend PVR Client Fail - iorifly - 2014-08-15

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.
