Plugin disabled at startup of kodi 17.1 with addon version 2.4.4

[michalhainc]

Hi, I am running kodi 17.1 on debian 9 + lxde (debian package version 2:17.1+dfsg1-3), pvr.vuplus is installed also via debian package (version 2.4.4+git20160820)

At each startup I get a message from kodi that the vu plus pvr plugin is not compatible with this version of kodi and is disabled (see screenshot).

When I enable the plugin manually everything works fine. The startup message is annoying though.
Am I doing something wrong?

As 17.6 is the latest kodi version you are probably due an update. My guess is the addon version has dependencies on a later kodi version.

Ok, but debian stable channel does consider this the latest version of kodi :) it doesnt give possibility to install newer and at the same time it installs the plugin in the version that is not matching... okay I will try to update the kodi out of debian unstable channel and report on this later.
Moreover the way I installed kodi is official way: https://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Install_Kodi_for_Linux#Debian

So we could say your latest plugin version is not compatible with any official debian kodi latest package. (though it works)

Did you get this to work eventually?

@michalhainc, I did some digging and you are correct, the latest plugin that you should use is the 2.x versions but I don't know why you get that error message.

Here is the latest Krypton release: https://github.com/kodi-pvr/pvr.vuplus/releases/tag/2.4.12-Krypton

Unfortunately I only started maintaining this addon version 3.x onwards so I'm not too sure why you get the error because really you shouldn't.

This may just be a bug in version 2.4.4 of the addon which is fixed in 17.6 of kodi krypton and 2.4.12 of the addon.

I see 17.6 has moved to Testing for Debian, so hopefully you won't have too long a wait.

Hi, thanks for digging, I will test it once it comes out in stable channel

Cool, will close issue for now. Once you get 17.6 let me know if the issue persists by opening a new issue.
