[Matrix] API change updates #49

Closed AlwinEsch closed 4 years ago

AlwinEsch commented 4 years ago

Related to xbmc/xbmc#17775 and to bring in after them.

Only startup and dll load test confirmed and OK, but with lack of hardware not runtime tested. As general question, is the HW from https://www.free.fr/ also usable outside of France?

This changes are mostly to prepare on Kodi itself for the coming rework to C++ PVR interface and to reduce his change size there.

Further and primary thought do fix part reported here https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/17764 where his commit included in my Kodi request.

Those freebox can export themself via vpn. I managed to watch TV on mobile phone without wifi so I guess you can test using personnal french vpn, but that will give you access to lots of things, like all my connected HDD.

Indeed. When I applied for the official repository, I set up such a VPN connection for testing purposes. I can do the same for you if you'd like but I looked at the commits and I'm confident nothing will break :)

Maybe not required. The background is that I want to finish this C++ rework.

And as a cool thing, want create a nice overview board / table where all PVR addons are listed and where its type, way of work (e.g. like here hardware), advantages / disadvantages, backend still supported?, which features of kodi and much, much more are descripted.

Think currently, is for a new user hard to know, what, which PVR addon do and on some it do the same ways (only different backend). So it can see aha thats mine :smile:, e.g. as part good to know pvr.argustv only windows and backend no more maintained, or TVMosaic (pvr.dvblink) where detect also my FRITZ!Box 6590 Cable as source.

The request on Kodi is in and this can be also now in.

This needs a rebase, 2.2.6 is already used.
