It worked great until I tried to add a HomeRun Prime cable card. I could never get it stable and finally went back to MythTV. I could not get the passwords, users and MySQL to work together. I finally did a clean install of the Mythbuntu iso using only the backend and was able to get a stable, working backend. I still have a couple of issues and hosed the system once by trying to use the MythTV frontend requiring a complete reinstall. I now have a very functional MythTV backend and am using Kodi on the majority of my frontends minor issues
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who have problems installing mythtv on kodi,
but after long time testing and failing I figured it out so here is what I did.
i use this code to install mythtv
Code:
sudo apt-get install mythtv
under the installation it will ask you to make a password for the root mysql, pick one and remember it,
for this guide let's say the password is 12345.
then i use this code to install mythweb
Code:
sudo apt-get install mythweb
it's so i can see the scheduling and managing recordings from my main pc.
and last i install kodi-pvr
Code:
sudo apt-get install kodi-pvr-mythtv
after the installation I rebooted the machine, after the reboot exit kodi and login to kodibuntu and launch mythtv backend setup
follow the guide until you see IP address, user, password, here I use the username "root" and the password I made earlier 12345 and
make sure the IP address is set to "localhost", then continue the guide.
after you've completed the guide it will launch part 2 of the setup, here you can set up tuners, xmltv, scan for channels..
after you have set up all the stuff you need, exit the setup and launch kodi and go to settings, under live tv enable it
then go down to "reset the pvr database" and click on it 2 time it will say "no pvr add-on enable" click ok, it will move you to
mythtv pvr client, click on it and go to configure here was my IP 127.0.0.1 by default keep it like that and click ok
now go down and enable it you will see a small drop down window at the top of your screen, if you did not see it click enable, disable, enable now it should work,
you will see a the drop down window at the top of your screen it means it's reading your channels ind to kodi from myth-setup,
now go check out and see if you live tv is working..
