(2017-01-24, 16:45)rdoac Wrote: Ok - this one has me stumped. I have installed Kodi Krypton - rc3 via the package manager on Gentoo (x86). It works, but I can't get the pvr.mythtv add on compiled and functioning beside it. This is the first time it's simply refused to work.

I also removed the package manager version and installed from scratch.

I don't get much in the way of logs

ERROR: ADDON: Dll MythTV PVR Client - Client returned bad status (6) from Create and is not usable

I have unpacked the source and also compiled it locally and use that to try and build a .zip. This error occurs when I try to add the zip to the addons.

I changed branch on pvr.mythtv to Krypton, and built it using:

cmake -DADDONS_TO_BUILD=pvr.mythtv -DADDON_SRC_PREFIX=../.. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../../xbmc/addons -DPACKAGE_ZIP=1 ../../xbmc/project/cmake/addons

make

make package-pvr.mythtv

Everything compiles OK, it simply refuses to load.

Degub logs?

unzip -o addon-pvr.mythtv-4.12.12.zip

This should override whatever is in /usr/local/share/kodi/addons/pvr.mythtv...

Am using GCC 5.4 am not sure if that's what's making a difference. I can't get Kodi to compile on 4.9.4 which is the alternative.

I tried by unpacking the .zip in /usr/local/share/kodi/addons and also manually unpacking it in the UI. Both are giving the same error.

If I downgrade to Kodi 16 and myth tv pvr 3.4.14 everything works. I can provide a short recording file if that would help.

I'd really like to fix this, I don't mind compiling from source. Can I put the addon inside kodi and compile it at the same time? How do I check the versions are the same?
