TVHeadend in Kodi Krypton

Hi guys,

I’ve found bits and pieces around this issue but wondering if anyone can help?
I’ve just updated to Krypton and TVheadend doesn’t work at all, was running fine on previous version. I have a DVB-T USB adapter plugged into my raspberry pi 2.
Kodi says it cannot communicate with the server and cant access via weppage using http://ipaddress:9981
installed from a backup so all settings should be correct.
is there a way to get this to work? if not, is there an alternative client I can use that is easy to set up?
don’t want to roll back the software if there is a solution out there.

Any help appreciated
