media-plugins/kodi-addon-pvr: Add iptv-simple addon

The sources of media-plugins/kodi-addon-pvr include an "iptv-simple addon" as far as I can tell. Have a look at the sources here: https://github.com/opdenkamp/xbmc-pvr-addons

You can enable it by IUSE="iptv".

Let me know if it works for you.

[pashosh]

where do i add the line: IUSE="iptv" ?

do you mean maybe to add iptv USE flag to media-plugins/kodi-addon-pvr in package.use file?

[frace]

Exactly:

media-plugins/kodi-addon-pvr iptv

IUSE is the variable name used in ebuilds where all the different USE flags are defined.

[pashosh]

OK, thank you very much. i'll report after doing that, if it works or not :-)

[pashosh]

no, it is not working for me. i added to package.use this line: media-plugins/kodi-addon-pvr iptv

when i install the pvr package i eventually get this error:

Makefile:488: recipe for target 'FilmonAPI.lo' failed
make[2]: *** [FilmonAPI.lo] Error 1
make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
make[2]: Leaving directory '/var/tmp/portage/media-plugins/kodi-addon-pvr-14.0_rc3/work/xbmc-pvr-addons-Helix_rc3/addons/pvr.filmon'

make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
 * ERROR: media-plugins/kodi-addon-pvr-14.0_rc3::kodi-overlay failed (compile phase):
 *   emake failed

if i do not change the package.use, this package installs great, but without the iptv simple addon.

i also looked at the ebuild: https://github.com/frace/kodi-overlay/blob/master/media-plugins/kodi-addon-pvr/kodi-addon-pvr-14.0_rc3.ebuild

and you can see that it already have in IUSE the 'iptv' word, so it is also very strange.

I can can confirm that both, stable and live ebuilds, do not build successfully. It seem like the filmon add-on is to blame. The problem is that the package does not allow us to build add-ons conditionally. It's a get all or nothing strategy right now. Enabling --enable-addons-with-dependencies builds both, iptv-simple and filmon - but we can't choose them individually.

I need to consider whether or not to write an ebuild for iptv-simple. Honestly I'm tempted to hardmask the current ebuild until the build system of the add-on collection will be refactored upstream.

[pashosh]

can you please tell me where i need do add: --enable-addons-with-dependencies ? for the time being, i'll happy to have iptv simple, even if it installs with filmon :-).

edit: i now see you masked it :-)

[pashosh]

when i try to update world, i see that portage want to remerge kodi without the pvr USE flag (-pvr), but when i continue with it, it give me this:

Calculating dependencies... done!

>>> Verifying ebuild manifests

!!! Digest verification failed:
!!! /var/lib/layman/kodi-overlay/media-tv/kodi/metadata.xml
!!! Reason: Filesize does not match recorded size

so i unmerge kodi completely and try to merge it again, but it give me the same message, and now i can't install kodi :).

As I wrote earlier, we can't have one without another. Since filmon breaks the entire build there's nothing I can do about that at the moment.

Fixed with https://github.com/frace/kodi-overlay/commit/33595a81b5ef3cceccf8b9b6c40c56c6b7799d06
