two tvheadend servers

1st Official Post

    Hi,

    with kodi 15 I was able to connect to two tvheadend servers by copying pvr.hts.

    Now pvr.hts seems to be in /usr/lib, I tried just copying it under a different name to .kodi/addons and it did appear, but crashed as soon as I activated the new one.

    Did anyone manage to get that done? If so, how?

    Thanks

    ok, so here's what I did:

    Code
    kodi-keller:~/.kodi/addons # cp -av /usr/lib/kodi/addons/pvr.hts ./pvr.hts2
'/usr/lib/kodi/addons/pvr.hts/pvr.hts.so.3.4.6' -> './pvr.hts2/pvr.hts.so.3.4.6'
'/usr/lib/kodi/addons/pvr.hts' -> './pvr.hts2'


kodi-keller:~ # cp -av /usr/share/kodi/addons/pvr.hts/* .kodi/addons/pvr.hts2/
'/usr/share/kodi/addons/pvr.hts/addon.xml' -> '.kodi/addons/pvr.hts2/addon.xml'
'/usr/share/kodi/addons/pvr.hts/changelog.txt' -> '.kodi/addons/pvr.hts2/changelog.txt'
'/usr/share/kodi/addons/pvr.hts/icon.png' -> '.kodi/addons/pvr.hts2/icon.png'
[...]

    Then I edited the new ~/.kodi/addons/pvr.hts2/addons.xml
    - I changed the addon id to pvr.hts2 as well as the name so that I would recognize it later as the new one.

    I rebooted, found the new entry in PVR Clients and edited the settings. After activating the new client the system crashes and kodi keeps restarting and crashing. As soon as I delete the addon in SSH it starts up fine again.

    yep, sorry about that. Noticed too late that I'm still on milhouse test builds. I'll try with regular libreelec alpha later, if it happens there as well.

    kodi-keller is not the username, it's the hostname that you can set during initial configuration.
