rtl_streamer as Kodi PVR add-in
I'm trying to use the rtl_fm_streamer in kodi, but am unable to set it up successfully and wondering if you'd be able to help me. I currently have kodi v18.2 installed.
Use Case: I'm building a Car-PC on a Raspberry Pi with Rasbian OS. One of the functions I'd like to include is the ability to stream FM radio through Kodi as a PVR add-on. I'm using an RTL2832U dongle to receive FM radio and have successfully listened to broadcast channels with it using gqrx: http://gqrx.dk/download/gqrx-sdr-for-the-raspberry-pi, but I'm unable to use your rtl_fm_streamer app to stream radio through Kodi.
I initially followed the install instructions from this site: https://github.com/AlbrechtL/rtl_fm_streamer
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential libusb-1.0-0-dev libev-dev $ git clone https://github.com/AlbrechtL/rtl_fm_streamer.git $ cd rtl_fm_streamer/ rtl_fm_streamer$ mkdir build rtl_fm_streamer$ cd build rtl_fm_streamer/build$ cmake ../ rtl_fm_streamer/build$ make
However, I'm I don't see the rtl_fm_streamer app after completing the make command. When I try to run ./rtl_fm_streamer, I receive an error saying that the files doesn't exist. What would be the next step to test or setup the rtl_streamer as PVR add-on in kodi?
Can you suggest any troubleshooting steps to begin streaming the signal to Kodi? Something similar to this: http://esmasol.de/open-source/kodi-add-on-s/fm-radio-receiver/
The executable file will be located at rtl_fm_streamer/build/src/rtl_fm_streamer
(at least it was on my machine).
