Question  2012-01-29 10:57 Cannot enable PVR plugin Post: #1
hi,

I am really new with XBMC. I am using Mediaportal for years but I wanted to try something new ;-)

Here is my software setup:
- Windows 7
- Team Mediaportal 1.2.2Final including TVServer
- MediaPortal_v121_TVServerXBMC_plugin_bin_rev109
- opdenkapms XBMC PVR build: Eden-pvr Beta2 - build 65 - git rev. 62ff5bd

The TVServer is running OK. Then I installed the serverplugin. It seems to work also. I can get connection with telnet.

In XBMC - Settings - Addons - PVR... - there I cannot activate the plugin. When I click on activate, it stays deactivated. I attached a logfile.

One thing I dont understand. I can configure a database in the gentle.config from the server plugin. The wiki of Mediaportal says: "TV and Radio use SQL Server DB.". I copied the lines in the gentle.config. But where do I have to copy that config file. At the moment it is in the plugin folder of the mp-tvserver. I have the feeling that even if I delete the config file, nothing new happens.

Maybe someone can help me;-)

thanks mimas
btw: XBMC is wonderful, and I tested it just for some hours. So many things just work "out-of-the-box". I just need to get the live-tv running Big Grin

thanks for the reply.

I found the problem. The hint with deleting the TV*.db was the right direction. But it was the Addons*.db i had to delete. Now everything works fine.

thanks mimas

According to your log, the actual TVHeadend addon file "XBMC_Tvheadend_win32.pvr" is missing...
The TVHeadend addon in the master branch was changed recently and after merging into my repo, I got some Windows build errors, so maybe the addon is indeed missing in the most recent nightly builds.

I'm currently building opdenkamp/master to double check that the build errors are not caused by my merge action. I will inform Opdenkamp if these build errors also affect his master branch.

Update: the tvheadend addon in opdenkamp/master (0c5dd3df0d) does not build under Windows. See also issue #414.

found the cause for this. it's a bug in lib/platform. working on a proper fix.
