[packman] Kodi PVR addons issue

[Sagi Ben-Akiva]

Hi Abdul,

I was able to build pvr.iptvsimple, it still was not merged to Multimedia
and can be found in my home project at :
https://pmbs.links2linux.de/package/show/home:sagiben/kodi.binary-addons
and for the binaries for Leap 15.0 :
https://pmbs.links2linux.de/package/binaries/home:sagiben/kodi.binary-addons/Multimedia_openSUSE_Leap_15.0

I was not able to enable the PVR on my PC, can you give it a try ?
If everything is fine I will merge the needed changes.

Sagi.
