MythTV: Failures due to "/lib64/libmythtv-33.so.33: undefined symbol: hdhomerun_discover2_device_if_get_ip_addr"

[StefanJ]

I have a Linux based MythTV system. Myth version is 33.1. The tuners are a HDHomeRun Prime (with cable card) and the newer unit which has an ATSC 3.0 tuner.

I can use the config utility to discover and locate the two tuners.

Everything was working great under Fedora 37. After upgrading to Fedora 39, Mythbackend, and the setup utility, fail:

mythtv-setup --version|grep --color=always using_hdhomerun
mythtv-setup: symbol lookup error: /lib64/libmythtv-33.so.33: undefined symbol: hdhomerun_discover2_device_if_get_ip_addr

The hdromerun firmware is in /usr/lib.

Any suggestions? The libraries are up to date.

"hdhomerun_discover2_device_if_get_ip_addr" missing indicates that the libhdhomerun library version is out of date - you need to install a newer / latest version.

Thanks Nick!

Now, this is concerning. I just downloaded libhdhomerun from:

https://info.hdhomerun.com/info/linux

I took a look in my download directory and found:

The version I just downloaded appears earlier than the one I had from last July?

[StefanJ]

OK. Problem solved.

libhdhomerun.so was out of date.

It looks like Silicon Dust's download page has an out of date package linked to. Somewhere along the lines I got a later package, and a build from that produced a good version.

I will let SD know.
