Kodi, Raspbian, and MythTV - ricks03 - 2016-09-13

I'm trying to get Kodi to serve as the front end for MythTV (amongst other things) on a Raspberry Pi 3. After installing the MythTV add-on, I don't get the "TV" option in the menu bar.

I'm currently running Raspbian 4.4.11-v7+, with Kodi installed:
kodi-pvr-mythtv/stable,now 2.3.1~jessie
kodi/stable,now 2:15.2-2~jessie

My MythTV backend is mythtv-0.28-4.el7.nux.x86_64, and I can connect to the MYthTV server from a MythTV frontend installed on the Pi, so I know the connection and server are working.

I noticed that when I start Kodi on the Pi, I get errors on the MythTV backend:
Sep 13 16:19:58 glutton mythbackend: 2016-09-13 16:19:58.095177 C MainServer: MainServer::HandleVersion - Client speaks protocol version 75 but we speak 88!

What version of Kodi supports MythTV protocol 88?

It is not Kodi, you need a later version of pvr.mythtv try this one :
http://janbar.github.io/pvr.mythtv/download/pvr.mythtv-jessie-armhf-15.zip

Just download it to .kodi/addons/ and unzip it then restart kodi

This version will be picked instead of the version in raspian repos which is old.

Bless you for this answer. I've been screwing with my backend, pins, kodi settings and everything else for an hour trying to get the kodi-pvr-mythtv in the raspbian repo working. I dropped this one on the pi and my channels started loading. I was about to give up.
