Linux Testing

I'm using Frodo (v12) on my RPi.

on my RaspBMC one this is the error in the XBMC log:

Code:

14:11:48 T:1182696512   ERROR: ADDON: Dll NextPVR PVR Client - Client returned bad status (4) from Create and is not usable
14:11:48 T:1182696512    INFO: Called Add-on status handler for '4' of clientName:NextPVR PVR Client, clientID:pvr.nextpvr (same Thread=no)

Got any ideas on whats causing this?

I cant tell exactly what's causing it, but I know the general area. You might need to edit the client.cpp in addon, and change the ADDON_Create() create function to return some different values for the different conditions. It has several XBMC-ish things, which could return ADDON_STATUS_UNKNOWN (4).

Code:

ADDON_STATUS ADDON_Create(void* hdl, void* props)
{
  if (!hdl || !props)
    return ADDON_STATUS_UNKNOWN;
  
  PVR_PROPERTIES* pvrprops = (PVR_PROPERTIES*)props;

  XBMC = new CHelper_libXBMC_addon;
  if (!XBMC->RegisterMe(hdl))
  {
    SAFE_DELETE(XBMC);
    return ADDON_STATUS_UNKNOWN;
  }

  PVR = new CHelper_libXBMC_pvr;
  if (!PVR->RegisterMe(hdl))
  {
    SAFE_DELETE(PVR);
    SAFE_DELETE(XBMC);
    return ADDON_STATUS_UNKNOWN;
  }
<snip>

You might need to temporarily change these to return different values so we can tell which one is failing.

It could also be RaspBMC is running an older alpha.. will check on that,

Even though the Openelec version works there are a lot of sql errors.

I think I am going to give up on this venture. I found that my initial issue was I needed to run sudo apt-get install dh-autoreconf, but now I get errors on the 'make' from the pvr.mediaportal.tvserver project "libsmbclient.h" file or folder not found. I tried removing the include from the FileSMB.cpp file but that opened another can of worms.

I think I will just wait for someone to create a package.

Yeah I understand. If you wanted to give it one more try, you could try editing Addons\Makefile.am, and delete the lines for the other pvr addons like pvr.mediaportal.tvserver, then back to the root and rerun ./bootstrap ./configure and make install.

Because of the state of Frodo right now, building for linux is a pain. I run XBMC linux on OpenElec on my ION, GeeXBox on my Cubox and davilla's custom work on my Pivos XS and they all use a different flavour of post-Eden. The unification process is going to make this so much easier, I really hope the request to merge https://github.com/opdenkamp/xbmc-pvr-addons/pull/33 takes place sooner then later.

I agree, I would like to start adding some information on NextPVR in the WiKi, but Im afraid its too soon and it will confuse people

Was there another change to make, something about the tinyxml.h include?

[wileecoyote]

that tinyxml line? Yeah, its odd. I think it should have been like the Windows include, but for some reason I needed to do that slight Linux change to get it to build on my Ubuntu VM. I'm not sure why. I'll probably just change it in the way you suggested.

Can you point out the thread referred to on the tinyxml change?
