Hey everyone,

I threw up a video on youtube last night showing how I enjoy my XBMC based mac mini media center with NAS and a hdhomerun and I got an immediate response asking me to put up a video of how I got my hdhomerun and XBMC working together. Now that I have read some of this thread I see that other options exist that I was not aware of at the time of making the video. Here is a link to it in case anyone is interested:

Nice video.. but what does this has to do with Tvheadend? Or am i missing something?

Just wrong forum/post i assume?

You can however start a nice new '[HOW-TO] Watch Live-TV in XBMC using Hdhomerun'.. just write a nice tutorial and post your video.

cd <svn three>
cp ./debian/hts-tvheadend.tvheadend.init /etc/init.d/tvheadend

modify /etc/init.d/tvheadend
DAEMON_ARGS="-f -u hts -g video"
to
DAEMON_ARGS="-f -u xbmc -g video"

chmod 755 /etc/init.d/tvheadend
update-rc.d tvheadend enable

Hi There,
i am getting an error when running the above command

Code:

xbmc@xbmc:~$ sudo update-rc.d tvheadend enable
update-rc.d: warning: tvheadend start runlevel arguments (none) do not match LSB Default-Start values (2 3 4 5)
update-rc.d: warning: tvheadend stop runlevel arguments (none) do not match LSB Default-Stop values (0 1 6)
System start/stop links for /etc/init.d/tvheadend do not exist.

i thought i saw a post on the developers list stating that it didnt matter if this error existed but it appears to not enable tvheadend to auto start at boot / login

any ideas ?

cheers

Hi all,

Noobish question number 2 from me. I still can't connect to the webserver. I've installed tvheadend 2.9 from the svn. Install went okay and it asked for username and password etc which i gave. I'm running xbmc live 9.11 RC1 on a revo 3610.

After install i've tried running the following in a web browser on a windows pc that is also on he network, but as yet haven't had any luck:

http://127.0.0.1:9981/
http://ip:9881
http://localhost:9881

None of these work. Out of interest, is localhost supposed to be replaced with the ip of the machine that tvhe is installed on or is it just as easy as typing "localhost"? Strangely, if i try pinging http://127.0.0.1 from the same windows machine i get a reply every time, but if i try adding ":9881" it doesn't work. I've tried disabling the firewall on the windows machine as i thought it may be blocking the signal but no joy.

I haven't tried running a browser directly on the xbmc machine since i upgraded to tvhe 2.9 as i found that installing firefox causes problems with xbmclive 9.11 (usb drives stop mounting after install and shutdown no longer works but just drops me to terminal). I did have a browser on the same machine as tvhe when i had version 2.7 installed however, but i couldn't access the webserver by any of these commands then either.

If anyone can help me id really appreciate it. I have read as much as i can about this but can't find the answer anywhere. Thanks again and apologies if its a daft question.

is there a precompiled version of pvr_testing2 for hardy, that has the tvheadend support added?

Hey, you need to use the local ip of the computer running tvheadend (serverip).

To find out what that is type ifconfig in terminal on the tvheadend server.

then access the Webinterface from your windows computer with http://serverip:9981

good luck

[rodneyrodriguez]

It Works!! Jaken you are a champion. Thanks muchly for your help.

I thought i had tried that before, but i think it must have been when i had tvhe 2.7 installed and had something else wrong (prolly no user / pword).

Anyway, thank you very much - it has been driving me crazy.

What version is your tvheadend? i have had problems with certain versions getting the campt server to work correctly.

[bolzerrr]

What version is your tvheadend? i have had problems with certain versions getting the campt server to work correctly.

First i tried a self compiled one, latest svn checkout (yesterday), i got even less there. then i tried a build from tvheadend homepage (addes rep. and apt-get install). i got a little more but it looks like a pixel mess..

i read somewhere that i have to placklist kernel v4l module- do you know something about this?!?!

btw. i also tried vdr which did not work also- i guess ist an low level problem with this module, kernel.. i don´t know :confused2:
I have to use a ci cam (alphacrypt)- do i need a special progemm/module for this? maybe?

[Swifty]

I tested out the tvheadend as a backend to PVR-Testing.. it's looking quite good.
The setup of the backend was so easy!

I did however run into a few issues with playback, mainly buffering at the start of a channel playback (I remember people saying how instant channel changes were with Tvheadend.. but VDR is much quicker for me at starting playback)
Is there something else I need to enable/disable somewhere to stop the buffering ?
I'm running on a gigabit LAN and VDR is rapid to begin playing back once tuned - no buffering at all.

I also didn't get any sound on the test channel I tried but I didn't play around with it too much.

Hi,
I tried to compile from the svn repository, but when I make the sources, I get this error :
/usr/bin/ld: cannot open linker script file libavutil/libavutil.ver: No such file or directory
The file libavutil.ver doesn't exist but even on ffmpeg repository it doesn't exist. Any idea?
Note: I configured the sources with "--disable-avahi"

I got this working by compiling with rev 21550 of ffmpeg. The error is due to an update on ffmpeg svn repository.

Have you tried it on free to air channels first?

Tvheadend is much quicker for me than VDR when i use Tvheadend trough HTSP.. i've never tried it as backend for PVR2.. did you patch te source or is the patch merged in trunk already for Tvheadend?

Buffering could be related to PVR2 i think.. because Tvheadend connected by HTSP is a lot quicker than VDR... atleast for me..
