MythTV addon with OpenELEC and Rpi2
#1
I just received my Raspberry Pi 2 today!

I loaded the new version of OpenELEC 5.01 that's compiled for the Rpi2. However, the MythTV addon does not seem to work on the new hardware. It hangs the system as soon as it begins loading channels from the MythTV server.

I'm not sure how to capture any debug information, since this causes a hang, and I have to power cycle the Rpi2. If there's a way I can help, though, I'd be glad to.

You need to connect to the Pi2 with ssh and collect a debug log (wiki), upload it to a pastebin server and hopefully it will contain something useful.

That immediately sounds like a bug that janbar had fixed, what version of the pvr.mythtv addon ships with that version of openelec?

Crashing on Rpi 2 using pvr.mythtv.

Crash log is here http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=417502

mythtv version 0.27 fixes.

Note OE build #206 on Rpi Model B does not crash.

My Rpi2 keeps also crashing. I had the same channel icon related error (GetChannelIcon1_32: invalid response) in my log, but setting <setting id="channel_icons" value="false" /> in /storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/pvr.mythtv/settings.xml lead to faster crashes...

The only way is to turn off PVR by editing /storage/.kodi/userdata/guisettings.xml and set pvrmanager/enabled to false. This way kodi keeps running (of cause with PVR services disabled).

So what causes the Segmentation fault?

Cheers,

The ChannelIcon "error" is a not the cause of the segmentation fault, the behaviour is normal if there is no channelicon available, which is the case on the mythbacked I tested the rpi2 on.

Both of my Rpi2's crash. I ran a quick test using my normal mythtv backend running 0.28pre, Rpi2 still crashes.

Also the Rpi2 crashes with osmc Alpha4 and the official OE 5 release builds.

Mine crashes with 5.0.1 for RPi2 and the integrated PVRAddOn as well as with the 1.12.0 for "old" Pi.

I experienced the crashes as well. After several reboots, the system started hanging rather than crashing.

I disconnected the Ethernet cable so the addon wouldn't be able to access the MythTV server, and that allowed me to keep the Pi2 running long enough to disable Live TV in the settings menu.

I think the bug I was referring to was fixed well before 1.12.

There are debug builds available which might provide more information in the crashlogs (no guarantee though).

I'm having the same issue; OpenElec 5.0.1 on a Rpi2. 1.12 (built in) MythPVR client.

A full debug log is at http://sprunge.us/SDUK

(I also downgraded to jabber's 1.11, which didn't crash when initializing, but crashed quite often when starting playback of a recording or live tv, and would crash after several minutes of live TV.)

MythTV v0.27.1-16-gaa822f5

I'll try a debug build to see if there's anything additional in the logs.

Here's the log file using the debug build Milhouse posted: http://sprunge.us/gJHB

In both cases, the last line of the log file is:

DEBUG: CPVRTimers - Update - updating timers

I hope this helps!

Did you get a crashlog?

Yes, there was a crash log. Thanks - I'm pretty new to Kodi, and didn't notice that.
