Was this a while ago that you had to compile? Perhaps it was
simply an issue with your chosen disto, we all get that sometimes.
I use OpenSUSE 13.2 and the standard RPMs had everything I needed.
Similarly, on Android it was just a case of downloading the .apk
and installing that, no need to root anything.<br>

This was a two or three months ago - my distro is "raspbian" which
is the raspberry Pi version of Debian, and the version of Kodi on
there simply did not work with the mythtv pvr plugin that was there.
I located other repositories that were recommended but there were
library issues such as this:<br>
ERROR: Unable to load
/home/pi/.kodi/addons/pvr.mythtv/pvr.mythtv.so, reason:
/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libstdc++.so.6: version
`GLIBCXX_3.4.20' not found (required by
/home/pi/.kodi/addons/pvr.mythtv/pvr.mythtv.so)<br>
This seems to be a compatibility problem between the library version
installed in Linux and the version the application was compiled
under.<br>
There are other distributions "OSMC" and "Openelec", which are
appliance load and go types of solutions, these work better but I
prefer to have control over the system and these are rather opaque
in how they are set up.<br>
<br>
Also there is a bug in Kodi with the remote I am using and Raspberry
pi - I made a source patch to get around that - I have logged a Kodi
bug and supplied the patch, but nobody seems to be taking any action
about fixing the upstream source.<br>
