My media server is running openSUSE 13.1. So it looks like the pvr addon package was not updated from the previous version …

I’m hoping this api version issue is solved with a quick update to the pvr addons package.

Is it possible to build it from source to fix the problem?

Thanks,

Hi
There is a Kodi thread on the packman mailing list;
http://lists.links2linux.de/pipermail/packman/2016-March/014268.html

Suggest you post to the ML, or jump on the packman IRC channel…

Thanks, will do.

Hi,

For Kodi 16.0 pvr.addons rpm does not exist anymore.
All the binary addons were separated to single package for each addon with the name kodi.binary-addons.<addons_name>

Sagi.

This is the package that you need to install
PVR.hts

Thank you Sagi!
