@ john.cord
This is according to Ubuntu minimal (no desktop or window managers of any sort or even auto-mount aids e.g usbmount ) as per my experience with 12.04, other set-ups may behave differently, mine does not. It is as described.

I'm hitting a brick wall here, are the pvr plugins like compiled into the xbmc or what ? I'm trying to install the new nextpvr plugin with timeshifting support and it installs fine from the zip file, and is located in /home/xbmc/.xbmc/addons however it's not loaded. No matter what it stays with version 1.0.0.0 and the new version is 1.0.1.0
I've even replaced XBMC_Nextpvr.pvr in /usr/lib/xbmc/addons with the new one and updated the files in /usr/share/xbmc/addons but still it loads version 1.0.0.0 - where does it find it ?
oh, if it isn't clear, I'm using the testing build.

Turn on debugging and check the xbmc.log file.
We build xbmc with the matching pvr plugins. If you compile your own version of the pvr addons afterwards, make sure that those fit to the installed PVR API. If you want to replace the systemwide plugin, you have to remove the addon in /usr/lib/xbmc/addons
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

The github link points to the nextpvr devs branch, so this is not official.
Usually when the dev is done with his changes he will send a Pull Request to opdenkamps official addons repo.
Seems the new version relies on very recent changes in xbmc, thats why it requires bleeding edge xbmc.
I can't build new packages right now, because I'm on holiday with very limited internet access.
I suggest you wait till the nextpvr dev pushes his changes to the official addons repo

Hi there, I'm trying to upgrade/install this instead of the xbmc version provided in the latest stable XBMCbuntu. My problem is somehow he doesn't recognize the xbmc version provided by your repository even when I succesfully added it. I remove xbmc and xbmc-bin as suggested and when I install again he still fetches the xbmc version from the team xbmc repo. I even removed that from my /etc/apt/ sources and then he gives me :
Package xbmc is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'xbmc' has no installation candidate
What am I doing wrong?

Have you done this:
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:wsnipex/xbmc-xvba
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xbmc xbmc-bin

I'm on ubuntu 12.04 and noticed that my embedded mp3 album art is not read. Is anyone else having this issue, or am I doing something wrong.
