I have been using openelec for a fair while now and I have installed it many times before without too many issues, and certainly without issues that have prevented its use. Unfortunately recently, I was unable to watch live tv. The option just didnt appear in kodi even after enabling it. TVHeadend was still working as I was able to watch live tv from other computers. So, I decided to reinstall openelc and start again.
The installation seemed to go fine but I could not find an option for enabling tvheadend backend. I could find tvheadend frontend along with lots of others but there did not seem to be a backend option to enable.
As it says in the guide "OpenELEC currently ships with Tvheadend 3.4 backend software. There are others available as well, but they're not covered by this article. You will need to enable the addon from the settings, so select Settings -> Add-ons -> Services -> tvheadend and enable it."
There was no way to enable it from within openelec. I could only enable the frontend.
So, I then found a zip file of the backend and installed it. However, I cannot login to the web interface. I have checked the ip address of my openelec setup and it has not changed from last time. As a result, I can not setup my dual tuner.
Please can you help me to sort this problem out. I really have no idea why this won't work. I did have a really rock solid setup and this is so frustrating.
Let me know if you need any more detail.
