kodi-pvr-addons (armv7)

[staro]

Hi, is there anyone working on package for kodi-pvr-addons support (ARMv7)? This package is available for ARMv6, but not for ARMv7.

I tried download PKGBUILD from AUR, edit arch tag to add 'armv7h', create symlink for

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '/usr/include/KHR -> /opt/fsl/include/KHR/
/usr/include/GLES -> /opt/fsl/include/GLES ')

but compilation always failed. Am I doing something completely wrong?

[wakko]

hi, same problem here (odroid-c1)

tried to extract the files from
http://deb.odroid.in/pool/main/x/xbmc-p ... _armhf.deb
und place it in the folders on arch...

vnsi connects and catches epd data, channels - but no picture at live-tv -> maybe you have more luck

regards,
wakko

Still no luck with kodi pvr addons

anyone?

[nocrea]

I would like to use the kodi pvr addons as well (primarily the kodi-pvr-tvheadend-htsp). I would try to compile it myself (even though I'm not a skilled programmer) but could not even find the source code. As I'm afraid I would run into many problems it would be great if the archlinux / kodi / arm7 maintainers could do it for us (or give hint how to do it ourselves).

Could anyone give me hint on how to proceed?

I think this gives a pretty good good example on compiling this package https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit ... pvr-addons

[nocrea]

Thanx, Moonman. You put me on the right track!

Here is what I did to get a kodi-pvr-addons package for arm7 (in my case: Raspberry Pi 2):

As a non-root user I transferred the text the PKGBUILD file that Moonman pointed to (actually copy-paste) to a file named PKGBUILD in a new directory and changed "arch=('i686' 'x86_64')" to "'arch=('armv7h')":
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '# $Id$
# Maintainer: Sergej Pupykin <pupykin.s+arch@gmail.com>
# Contributor: BlackEagle <ike.devolder@gmail.com>>

pkgname=kodi-pvr-addons
pkgver=20141212
_relname='Helix_rc3'
pkgrel=2
pkgdesc="PVR add-ons for current stable kodi"
arch=('armv7h')
url="https://github.com/opdenkamp/xbmc-pvr-addons"
license=('GPL3')
groups=('kodi-addons')
depends=('kodi')
makedepends=('git')
optdepends=('tvheadend-git: tvheadend backend' 'mythtv: mythtv backend')
replaces=('xbmc-pvr-addons')
conflicts=('xbmc-pvr-addons' 'xbmc-pvr-addons-git')
source=("$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz::https://github.com/opdenkamp/xbmc-pvr-addons/archive/${_relname}.tar.gz")

build() {
cd "$srcdir/xbmc-pvr-addons-${_relname}"
./bootstrap
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-addons-with-dependencies
make
}

package() {
cd "$srcdir/xbmc-pvr-addons-${_relname}"
make DESTDIR="$pkgdir/" install
}

sha256sums=('e48de53c58245e512095d515d463f013e51e165fc617f1cb93e443cdd9f5096b')
')

Then, in that same directory I executed
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'makepkg')
I ignored all warnings and even errors and it finally, after a long time (I think it was > 1 hour) the result was there.

As root I executed
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'pacman -U kodi-pvr-addons-20141212-2-armv7h.pkg.tar.xz')

I activated my pvr-addon (tvheadend), rebooted twice, and then... it almost worked: Kodi crashed two or three times (while loading EPG data? Maybe b/o the warnings/errors during build?). Since then it seems to work fine (have only tried this afternoon). Can anyone (Staro? Wakko?) confirm that it works this way.

Maybe a skilled package maintainer could (if necessary) just add armv7h architecture to his/her package building?! That would be great!

This pkg is in abs community, not our github, so it should have been built for v7 (probably for v5 if depends built ok)

[pepedog]

abs are PKGBUILDs (etc) that are direct from Archlinux.org, most build on arm with makepkg -A
Install and run abs to grab them

The aur is ditto to above, but package no built

Our github, clone and copy over abs files and this is how Archlinuxarm builds.

TO> nocrea
unfortunately this PKGBUILD fails to compile too

I managed to get it working with OpenELEC image - build for Freescale iMX6 builds (because I have Cubox i4 Pro).
I only need HTS pvr addons to work with my TVHeadend server...
steps:

download OpenELEC-imx6.arm-5.0.4.tar
extract with tar
mount SquashFS from target/SYSTEM
copy files from OpenELEC TARGET img:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
SYSTEM:usr/lib/kodi/addons/pvr.hts/Kodi_Tvheadend.pvr to CUBOX:usr/lib/kodi/addons/pvr.hts/Kodi_Tvheadend.pvr
SYSTEM:usr/share/kodi/addons/pvr.hts/* to CUBOX:usr/share/kodi/addons/pvr.hts/*
')
