DVBLink add-on is not working - Can't load Dll - TinyXML2

RMB · April 26, 2016 at 9:58 AM

Hi,

When I install the DVBLink add-on and activate the TV option within Kodi, I get the following error: Unknown error. Can't load Dll.
After this error the DVBLink add-on is automatically set to disabled.

I have a fresh installed LibreElec v7.0.0 installation based on the Generic Build image.
On a fresh installed OpenElec installation this add-on is working fine, but not on the LibreElec installation.

Any ideas?

Kind regards,
Rene.

Is TinyXML2 missing in LibreElec?

The addon was reuploaded and is fixed - BUT - due the Kodi caching you need to remove /storage/.kodi/addons/packages/pvr-dvblink... and reinstall.

That is strange, because I allready figured that out and reinstalled it again today.
It gave the exact same error message.
I have tried it again after your reply a few minutes ago but still the same error.
I did install the addon version 2.1.4 from the LibreELEC repo.

Addons should be updated today (at least this was told me).

**lrusak** · May 1, 2016 at 6:29 PM Official Post

New version should be 2.1.7

So when could we try it again to install this add-on?

**CvH** · May 2, 2016 at 2:18 PM Official Post

didn't even compile - some random stuff

Meanwhile - for 7.0 Generic and RPi2
Dropbox - Link not found

Hello,
same problem since almost one month.
On my RaspBerry 3, with Bootberry and also without, on a newly installed SD-Card, DVBlink doesn't work from the beginning.
Downloaded/installed the addon (version was 2.1.7), activated TV, then after a few seconds while activating suddenly reboot of LibreElec 7.0.2, same as in 7.0.1.
After reboot, TV is disabled again, and so on...
Is there a general problem with DVBlink and LibreElec 7.x ??
Or are there any logfiles I can check for the reason myself?
On Openelec (stable version 6.0.3) the addon works just fine
Thanks in advance!

Edit:
Thanks to a forum user of forum.dvblogic.com, the reason for this problem is probably discovered:
Removed ALL the recording tasks, TV could be activated at once.
Added a few specific record tasks for single TV shows, no problem.
Added a search task for a specific search pattern, e.g. "Blues brothers 2000", after a short time Raspberry Pi reboot.
Removed only this task, TV fine again.
Tested on my Raspberry 3, LibreElec 7.0.2.
But the source of the problem should be removed, or else no more way to do a search pattern for future recordings...
Thanks again to Laurens!
