Branches
KODI PVR addons like the MythTV addon are not compatible with all versions of KODI (due to the PVR API version dependency). The addon repositories have different branches for the different KODI versions.
- Branch master: Compatible with KODI Helix development builds
- Branch gotham: Compatible with XBMC Gotham (v13)
Use git checkout <BRANCH>
after cloning the repository to switch to the according branch before starting the build.
