PVR addon under XBMCbuntu Kodi Alpha? - t2ffn - 2014-10-25 Has anyone managed to get any PVR client front end installed, enabled and working under XBMCbuntu Kodi Alpha? I've run all the command line installers, even appears to be successful but on checking home/XBMC/.kodi/addons, there is no Mediaportal PVR client, and when checking the Addons menu inside Kodi, there is no option for PVR client, so it seems its just not being installed or recognised. Ned Scott has posted: "I wonder if the PVR add-ons are having trouble with the new settings folder name being kodi instead of xbmc." so I ask, has anyone got PVR clients working under a recent XBMCbuntu Kodi Alpha? RE: PVR addon under XBMCbuntu Kodi Alpha? - fritsch - 2014-10-26 sudo apt-get remove xbmc-pvr-* then symlink /usr/lib/kodi to /usr/lib/xbmc and same for /usr/share/kodi to /usr/share/xbmc afterwards install xbmc-pvr-* again Edit: As some people prefer "copy / paste" answers I changed the above package name to have an asterisk. just replace it with whatever addon you have installed, e.g. xbmc-pvr-iptvsimple RE: PVR addon under XBMCbuntu Kodi Alpha? - t2ffn - 2014-10-26 1) sudo apt-get remove xbmc-pvr-addons E: unable to locate package xbmc-pvr-addons but as its not installing where is meant to, that may be why. 2) then symlink /usr/lib/kodi to /usr/lib/xbmc and same for /usr/share/kodi to /usr/share/xbmc I used sudo ln -s /usr/lib/kodi /usr/lib/xbmc which returned ln: failed to create symbolic link 'usr/lib/xbmc' : no such file or directory. I think i missed the first / so added in and it did nothing when i hit return, no confirmation or fail message. If I manually navigate to usr/lib/xbmc there is an addons folder within that a folder named pvr.mediaportal.tvserver, within that a file name XBMC_Mediaportal.pvr Inside of usr/lib/kodi there is a folder named addons/library.xbmc.pvr, within that a file named ibXBMC_pvr-x86_64-linux.so Ran sudo apt-get install xbmc-pvr-mediaportal-tvserver but it has had no effect in XBMC menus etc. still no ability to activate live TV or see PVR addons. RE: PVR addon under XBMCbuntu Kodi Alpha? - dnairb - 2014-10-27 There is no package called xbmc-pvr-addons. Each PVR addon has its own package. For Mediaportal, the package is xbmc-pvr-mediaportal-tvserver So in the first step, try: Code: sudo apt-get remove xbmc-pvr-mediaportal-tvserver After performing the ln function, if there was no returned message, it was successful. Then run: Code: sudo apt-get install xbmc-pvr-mediaportal-tvserver RE: PVR addon under XBMCbuntu Kodi Alpha? - wsnipex - 2014-10-27 for good measure: sudo apt-get remove xbmc-pvr-* RE: PVR addon under XBMCbuntu Kodi Alpha? - dnairb - 2014-10-27 I have just had a play around with this as root in PCManFM. The ln function you have is the wrong way round. I used: Code: sudo ln -s /usr/share/xbmc/addons/pvr.hts /usr/share/kodi/addons/pvr.hts Obviously you need to change pvr.hts to whatever directory the Mediaportal files are in. RE: PVR addon under XBMCbuntu Kodi Alpha? - wsnipex - 2014-10-27 nope, the ln line is perfectly correct. You did the the wrong way around.

Symlink: ln -s target linkname Where target=existing file and linkname=file to be created linking to existing file. My example above, which works as I have done and checked this within the last hour, creates a directory at /usr/share/kodi/addons/pvr.hts and links it to the pre-existing directory usr/share/xbmc/addons/pvr.hts RE: PVR addon under XBMCbuntu Kodi Alpha? - dnairb - 2014-10-27 (2014-10-26, 07:58)fritsch Wrote: sudo apt-get remove xbmc-pvr-addons xbmc-pvr-addons was in Frodo RC2. From Frodo RC3 (and all later releases) the PVR addons are separated. So I don't think that the remove/install steps given by fritsch are necessary if you had LiveTV working previously. RE: PVR addon under XBMCbuntu Kodi Alpha? - wsnipex - 2014-10-28 what you want is a _link_ named /usr/lib/xbmc pointing to the _target_ /usr/lib/kodi same for /usr/share edit: note that current nightly packages from our ppa already create those if the xbmc links(or dirs) do not exist already. RE: PVR addon under XBMCbuntu Kodi Alpha? - black_eagle - 2014-10-28 Or just build the addons from source - https://github.com/janbar/xbmc-pvr-addons and then install the zip you want.

Unfortunately the xbmc/addons/pvr.hts directory is not migrated to the kodi/addons directory; hence why I only linked the pvr.hts directories.

It was just the first pvr-addons git that was listed in my build directory.
