While upgrading vrt.nu on my raspberry pi running kodi, I had some problems, especially because the latest vrt.nu application needs inputstream-adaptive v2.0.19 and that is not provided by the normal stretch repositories. These are the notes about fixing those problems.
Running apt policy kodi-inputstream-adaptive give us this:
$ apt policy kodi-inputstream-adaptive
kodi-inputstream-adaptive:
Installed: 2.0.10-1~stretch
Candidate: 2.0.10-1~stretch
Version table:
*** 2.0.10-1~stretch 500
500 http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian stretch/main armhf Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
So there is clearly no package available that fits our needs. So let's also verify the version of kodi so we have a better idea which version we're looking for
pi@enix:~ $ kodi --version
17.6 Git:20171115-d69a54a Media Center Kodi

We found a suggestion at this site and tried the solution in a docker environment.
First we checkout the sources we need:
git clone https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc.git
cd xbmc
git checkout tags/17.6-Krypton
cd ..
git clone https://github.com/peak3d/inputstream.adaptive.git
cd inputstream.adaptive
git checkout -b Krypton origin/Krypton
We ran the commands in a docker environment:
docker pull hashicorp/packer:light
docker run --name 'my-packer' -d hashicorp/packer:light sleep infinity
docker exec my-packer bash
At the docker environment we first installed the tools we needed:
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install git cmake build-essential
Then we just tried to compile the addon:
cd /app/inputstream.adaptive
mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DADDONS_TO_BUILD=inputstream.adaptive -DADDON_SRC_PREFIX=../.. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../../xbmc/addons -DPACKAGE_ZIP=1 ../../xbmc/project/cmake/addons
And in the end we just had the addon we needed.
I transferred the whole directory unther
/app/xbmc/addons/inputstream.adaptive/
and put it on the raspberry. At that point
we could rock'n'roll and check the categories again.
