Hello all,
I could not find help for this anywhere, so wanted to post a solution that worked for me. I upgraded from 16.1 to 17 beta 6 and could not get the NextPVR backend to work.
I have seen others ask about the error in the log that reads:
Code:
ADDON: Could not locate pvr.nextpvr.so.2.4.8
ERROR: UpdateAddons - failed to create add-on NextPVR PVR Client, status = 6
Searching the file system, I located the file in /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/kodi/addons/pvr.nextpvr/
but discovered that Kodi is looking for it in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/kodi/addons/pvr.nextpvr/
so I made the folder and copied it over and it started working for me:
commands for reference:
Code:
mkdir /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/kodi/addons/pvr.nextpvr
cp /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/kodi/addons/pvr.nextpvr/* /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/kodi/addons/pvr.nextpvr/
I hope this helps someone else!
Regards,
