Today I installed Kodi Krypton Beta 4 on my Windows 10 machine. When I started Kodi my PVR addon (DVBViewer) was automatically disabled. When I try to enable it I get an error message saying: "Add-on couldn't be loaded. An unknown error has occurred."

I tried to enable some other PVR addons (TVHeadend, IPTV simple client) and they gave the same error.

I installed the newest nightly build (20161024-3dc6b24) but the issue remains.

I tried older nightly builds and version 20161023-48f2dbd is the last one that is working.

Here's a link to the debug log where I try to enable the DVBViewer addon: http://pastebin.com/EBfWh5UW

My Nexus 7 tablet was automatically updated to Beta 4 from Google Play. PVR works there normally.

Hi. Same for DVBLink PVR-Addon.

Thanks for the feedback! I will not install the beta

Also the same for Vbox Tv Gateway add-on, was running fine on beta 3.

But on a plus note I am loving the new default theme, especially for TV where it displays my recorded TV and last channels.

well done guys.

Same problem with ServerWMC. Rolled back to beta 3 to fix the problem.

Oh dear, yes same problem here with beta 4 and DVBLink addon

Thanks for identifying the most recent working nightly OP!

For what it's worth, MediaPortal plugin doesn't load either.

I don't know if this was added to the blog post later or if I just missed it first time but it looks like the developers are already aware that PVR is completely broken in beta 4:

Known problems
• Upgrading the skin you are currently using fails on Windows.
• PVR and other binary addons fail load on Windows.

Let's just wait and see what happens. I guess that beta 5 will be delivered sooner than beta 4 was.

Saw this in github: 10793 (PR)

I tried the new nightly KodiSetup-20161026-32df9c5-master but I still can't enable any of the PVR addons.

Wait for the next nightly or beta 5, please.

The nightly you tried does not contain the fix.
