Description Claus-Justus Heine 2016-03-04 22:19:21 UTC
Ever since kodi and/or xbmc had been group below media-tv/. However, at no time Gentoo provided anything related to TV (PVR) and XMBC / KODI.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install kodi (works)
2. run kodi (works)
3. try to instal a pvr add-on (remember: media-tv/...) THERE IS NONE.
Actual Results:  
Nothing works.

Expected Results:  
Provide a canonical PVR addon, or move kodi away from media-tv/ as it (in the current state of the Gentoo ebuilds) just does not belong there.

Tried something. At github there is (e.g.) https://github.com/herrnst/gentoo-kodi-overlay.git

But the plugins do not compile against kodi 16 (AKA Jarvis, fucking code names)

At least, it would be a little bit more honest for Gentoo to move kodi away from media-tv/ -- simply because inside Gentoo kodi just has no connection whatsoever to TV.

i just added kodi-pvr-hts-16*. in case you need some other pvr add-on, just let me know and i might create the ebuild(s).

meh.  seems like pointless bikeshedding.  a lot of people use Kodi on their TVs to watch media.
