kodi 15.0 in repository but no pvr-addons

Recently kodi 15.0-1 has been uploaded to the community repository.
However, there are no packages providing pvr-addons like kodi-pvr-addons 20141212-2 did for previous versions.

Is there a reason the addons aren't packaged?

Of course I can find all I need in the AUR at https://aur4.archlinux.org/packages/?K=kodi-devel, but I'd like addon packages that work with the kodi package shipped by arch so I don't need to update them manually.

Thanks, but I need the HTS addon for TvHeadend.
I know there is also https://aur4.archlinux.org/packages/kod … r-hts-git/.

The question still is: Why doesn't Arch package the pvr addons anymore?

It seems like the upstream structure changed a bit. The old pvr addons package was based on https://github.com/opdenkamp/xbmc-pvr-addons, which is not maintained anymore. Now the plugins are maintained seperately, e.g. at https://github.com/kodi-pvr/pvr.hts for the HTS plugin. Since there is no release I just created that git package in the AUR today. Give it a try

So we can expect packages for this in the future?

I guess this depends on whether a trusted user / developer wants to maintain it. Maybe ask Ike Devolder who maintains kodi and other plugins.

Re: kodi 15.0 in repository but no pvr-addons

Hi Bevan, thank you for the package; there's an issue in the makedepends: I had to change kodi-platform to kodi-platform-git as the former doesn't exist.

This isn't necessary since kodi-platform-git has provides=('kodi-platform') in its PKGBUILD. Just install it first and everything is fine.

Quick update: I talked to Ike on IRC and he said he won't package pvr addons for kodi, since he doesn't have the hardware to test them, unfortunately.

Re: kodi 15.0 in repository but no pvr-addons

Sorry for being a little off topic : would it be possible to have the same for vuplus ?

Thank you very much !!!

Re: kodi 15.0 in repository but no pvr-addons

Today I discovered this problem. I am interested too in vuplus plugin.
Page is this
https://github.com/kodi-pvr/pvr.vuplus

After installing kodi-platform-git compilation is stalling at:

CMake Error at /usr/lib/kodi/addon-helpers.cmake:19 (FILE):
  file failed to open for reading

Re: kodi 15.0 in repository but no pvr-addons

This PKGBUILD should work (a little ugly maybe...when I have time I will make it better)

pkgname=kodi-pvr-vuplus
pkgver=20150820
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc='VuPlus PVR client addon for Kodi'
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
url="https://github.com/kodi-pvr/pvr.vuplus"
license=('GPL')
makedepends=('cmake' 'kodi' 'kodi-platform-git')
depends=('kodi' 'tinyxml')
source=("https://github.com/kodi-pvr/pvr.vuplus/archive/Isengard.zip")
md5sums=('SKIP')
_prefix='/usr'

build() {

msg "Starting make..."
    
cd "$srcdir/pvr.vuplus-Isengard/"

  cmake \
    -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$_prefix \
    -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \

  make
}

package() {

cd "$srcdir/pvr.vuplus-Isengard/"
make DESTDIR="$pkgdir" install

}

Re: kodi 15.0 in repository but no pvr-addons

Now you can downlad the AUR package here
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kodi … uplus-git/

Plese uninstall kodi-pvr-vuplus first.

Re: kodi 15.0 in repository but no pvr-addons

Did you succeed in compiling it for the "current version of kodi in the repo" ?
Thanks.

Re: kodi 15.0 in repository but no pvr-addons

I couldn't find the "right" way to compil this addon for the current arch version so I just tried to compil it and kodi (both git) and it worked really well.

Re: kodi 15.0 in repository but no pvr-addons

I have added branch=Jarvis to source in the PKGBUILD
Now, if you recompile first kodi-platform-git it should work (in the PKGBUILD you must have API=16)
