After updating, the Zattoo PVR Client no longer worked.
I have:

  • deleted /storage/.kodi/addons/repository.coreelec
  • cleared the packages folder from all previous versions
    then updated Coreelec once more
    Error message upon attempting to install the Zattoo PVR Client is: the dependency on kodi.binary instance pvr version 5.1
51

Could you check addons>my addons>pvr clients>yourpvrclient.
If you go to update here where you can select s version, is there a newer version presented?

52

Yes, I have checked for updates of the PVR program. There is no update available.

53

Ok, just checking.
In my case i had to trigger this manually.

54

@netbuild you may have to force a manual update of the addon

These issues should only happen if you still have a repository package that you have not deleted, we have tried to make it so old versions of CoreELEC can install the addons that shipped at the time of release, so each release of CoreELEC has its own addons folder on the server now, that is why it is imperative that you check that you do not have one installed as it will force your installation to use 9.0.0 addons which are now incompatible and that is why you will see that message.

Confirming rm -Rf /storage/.kodi/addons/repository.coreelec does not fix the TVheadend HTSP Client binary incompatibility problem.

@KyleS then you will need a fresh install if none of the steps outlined have worked.

We can only help so much, the rest is up to the user.

57

Thanks for trying :slight_smile:

Real fix is rm -Rf /storage/.kodi/addons/repository.*; everything works/updates again now. I had a couple other retail repos listed (kodinerds and similar) and I guess they were stale as well.

Is it safe to add this to autostart.sh ? Any idea what the implications are?

58

No do not add this to autostart!

The problem with what you have just done is that you have now just deleted all of your repositories, so any 3rd party addons that you have installed will no longer update.

59

shriek! Any idea how we can avoid this for 9.0.2 or the next rls?

@fc_candido:
Please stop spreading this false imformation.
You were already told twice by two CE devs, that this isn’t a proper fix.

@KyleS it shouldn’t be an issue again now that you have deleted the old repository.

65

Successfully updated.
Made sure repository.coreelec wasn’t present.
Rebooted to update.
Updated TVheadend PVR client.
All good.

66

I had the same repo issue here on a x96 (s905x) box. This box has never been downgraded.

Removing the repo package and re-installing the update manually fixed it.

67

what means :improved subtitle rendering
no need for algorithmdirtyregions 0
on my 912 anymore?

68

No, it still required.
Some optimization in rendering.

69

Update did not work for me with tvheadend. I unistalled and installed again hts tvheadend addon and now it’s all good

Btw not mentioned in changelog, Kodi splash screen is back?

[edit] No it’s not😁 actually, why did you remove Kodi splash screen in CE? LE keeps it still

71

@giaur500 excuse my bluntness but why is anything LE does relevant here exactly?

Bootup is slightly faster without it and seeing as people already complain about a slow boot compared with say OSMC for example, we thought it appropriate to remove it, if it really bothers you then you can add it back in advancedsettings.
