Has anyone got TVHeadEnd to work with a HDHomeRun?

I am new to linux, I have installed TVHeadEnd, Followed the Guide to make the HDHomeRun available, but it is not listed as a tuner in TVHeadEnd.
www.silicondust.com


Is there something specific I need to do?

Is there any chance for native support for a HDHomeRun in TVHeadEnd?

I think that TVHeadEnd + HDHomeRun + ZotacION + XBMC are the perfect HTPC solution.

I just cant get there Sad

get the following error on karmic though

update-rc.d: warning: tvheadend stop runlevel arguments (0 1 6) do not match LSB Default-Stop values (S 0 1 6)

getting segmentation faults with the following error on the interface
"There seems to be a problem with the live update feed from Tvheadend. Trying to reconnect..."

Looks like its going to be vdr for me as the svn and 2.6 have being nothing but trouble for myself

I just tried to install 2.7 version and had this problem, how did you fix yours?
Huh

well the error below doesnt doesnt seem to cause me problems apart from not being able to shutdown the pc, just get an underscore in the top left hand corner of the screen but not sure if this was caused by 2.7 or an earlier version.

"update-rc.d: warning: tvheadend stop runlevel arguments (0 1 6) do not match LSB Default-Stop values (S 0 1 6)"

still getting seg faults when deleting channels but havent noticed them as much changing channels as I did with 2.6.

Trying posting here about any errors/problems your having

The author seems very helpful


Going to post again when i do up a list of things i would like added/changed such as ability to select all channels, muxes etc. As its a killer to select them one by one when you have a lot scanned in on a satellite.

Another is channel icons. It gets these from the xmltv i think but a lot of mine seem messed up with the wrong logos showing up for a lot of channels.

execute cccam on your linux pc, see the file generated under /tmp/ and give this file to tvheadend ..

just try !

care to elaborate a bit more:confused2:


- moontan77 - 2009-12-10

install cccam and if it works ok a file should be generated in your tmp folder

then link to that file from the capmt section in tvheadend web interface


Havent got it working myself as cccam doesnt seem to run at all even though i followed all the steps i found on an cccam ubuntu guide

Any guide about IPTV? - incompatible - 2009-12-10

panzaeron Wrote:Tvheadend 2.7 is out: http://www.lonelycoder.com/hts/tvheadend_download.html

with the following changes:
  • Added support for DVB subtitles. Currently only forwarded over HTSP
  • Add support for reception of RTP encapsulated IPTV
  • Fixed a crash caused by a race condition when starting a subscription
  • Increase maximum packet size for IPTV to 65536 bytes
Is there any guide how to configure TVHE to use IPTV? (in my case: raw UDP)

Somehow I can't get XBMC to play live (IP)TV. I get the message:
"TVHEADEND STATUS
Data received for service but no pa..." (nothing after "pa")

Exactly what i get although i did get the web when i first ran without the d. then whilst i was looking for the tmp file.:confused2::confused2::confused2:

Any Chance we can get native support for ccam. I and Iam sure others would be willing to donate to get this function. Everything else to do with TVheadend is staright forward simple and user friendly. Which is why it was my first choice over VDR.


DVB-S2 and tvheadend 2.7 - skillshot - 2009-12-11

Yesterday i tried XBMC 9.11 Beta 2 with tvheadend 2.7 but i can not get tvheadend to scan for any Channels. I have a Technotrend S2-3200 dvb-card.

What I did:
1.) Connect to the webfrontend
2.) Go to Configuration/DVB Adapters
3.) Select my card
4.) Added Astra19.2 (still just one mux defined)
and now nothing happens.

The tvheadend docs say
Quote:Add DVB Network by location...
Pressing this button will popup a window that allows the user to select a DVB network based on location. The adapter will be populated with multiplexes from these networks and immediately start to scan for services.

but tvheadend does not start any scanning, i get nothing in the logs ... it simply does not do anything?

What am i missing?

Thx for any help or hint!
