tvheadend binaries

TheCondor · 17. April 2014

Thanks to davidh2k we have a small place where host our tvheadend binaries. I put here mine latest x64 build (compiled from master git just few minutes ago).

http://demo.omv-extras.org/tvheadend/

here you will find also vtuner.ko, that's the kernel module (for backported kernel) for use enigma2 decoder as virtual DVB-S tuner.

EDIT: you will find also a file of 1.1K called tvheadend. This is the init.d script, copy this in /etc/init.d and make executable with chmod+x
note that i put my configuration in /etc/tvheadend, if you don't like this you have just to edit the init file and change the path.

tv_grab_file and rytec are a very fast workaround for getting the epg data. I'm testing, i'll let you know asap.

EDIT about EPG:
On the repo you'll find a file called tv_grab_file, this is a script i've found on the net and tuned a bit for catch an xmltv file (epg database) from the net and import in the tv backend (tvheadend in our case). Before use this script you have to install xmltv by:
apt-get install xmltv
After that copy tv_grab_file in /usr/bin/ and chmod 755 the script.
You must customize this script with your personal epg data, in my case you can read in the script that i'm using "rytecxmltvskyit". You can find the url for your epg in the other file, called rytec.sources.xml, open this file and search for your country epg.
Edit the tv_grab_file according to your epg url editing these lines:

echo "cancello archivio vecchio"
rm /root/rytecxmltvskyit.gz
rm /root/.xmltv/tv_grab_file.xmltv
wget -P /root http://rytec.sifteam.eu/rytecxmltvskyit.gz
echo "downloaded .gz"
gunzip /root/rytecxmltvskyit.gz
echo "decompressed .gz"
mv /root/rytecxmltvskyit /root/.xmltv/tv_grab_file.xmltv
echo "spostato il file e rinominato"
cat /root/.xmltv/tv_grab_file.xmltv
exit 0
fi

the script is simple and will:

1) delete previous files
2) get newer xmltv file from the site
3) decompress the file
4) move the file in the xmltv default directory and rename according to the script.
5) show the content of the saved file for checking it's correct.

After all you'll find in tvheadend, under settings-epg-grabber the new "internal" grabber XMLTV: tv_grab_file, select this and uncheck all other epg grabber, update interval 1 day, you are done.
In channels, under the epg source, you will be able to select the proper epg tag.
Test this for some days, the epg grabbed from rytec contains the guide for 7 days so i added a job in crontab for run the script tv_grab_file every night and say updated for the next 6 days.

Many tanks to the creator of the script and respect to rytec guys for their work!

I´ve found sth. that might be your problem:
https://tvheadend.org/boards/5…/2670?r=3629#message-3629

Zitat

It depends from which user you launch tvheadend.
Please check script /etc/init.d/tvheadend as described in 5th post.
If you reboot computer tvheadend working from user hts (u option) and you have to edit options in /home/hts/.hts but if you launch it from root all settings is in /root/.hts folder.
Make first "universal" superuser with star in first, second and third fields and all options enabled "v"
Make second user with some username and pass also all enabled(especially admin). Save. After rebooting delete
(or disable) first say "universal" user. Simplest way is to have identical ./hts folders in /home/hts and in /root too.

Soo... As far as I can see, you start your service as root:

Zitat

root@Server:~#start service tvheadend

That´s why it does not work for you. You edited the wrong files.

TheCondor · 19. April 2014

you need to start with -C option, i'm uploading a working init.d script wait just one minute! I did it and posted in an older topic but it doesn't matter. Take a look again in the repo you will find that.

EDIT: it's the one called tvheadend and size is 1.1K, put this in /etc/init.d and do a chmod+x
i put tvheadend configuration in /etc/tvheadend so move your configuration here or change the parameter in the /etc/init.d/tvheadend according to your path.

noxx · 19. April 2014

thx, it runs. but my tv card dont work now, because i ve installed the backport kernel.....
now i must wait for OMV 0.6/1.0.

TheCondor · 19. April 2014

You have installed the drivers/kernel modules for your card?

TheCondor · 2. Mai 2014

package updated:
tvheadend_3.9.570~g5fbe7a7_amd64

now it's fully compiled, with libavcodec53. You have to satisfy the dependency with
backports install
apt-get -t squeeze-backports install ...........

this versione fixed a lot of bug with capmt descrambling (at least for me...) and added some tuning option about services pid.

Yes you need to satisfy some dependences. I wrote that in the previous post, now we have a fully functionally tvheadend binary (or, at least, with all needed lib available).

apt-get -t squeeze-backports install libavcodec

and after that do the same with the others unsatisfied dependences.

can i use the binaries with the 2.x Kernel.
My TVcard don't run with the backport kernel

Zitat von "noxx"

My TVcard don't run with the backport kernel

i haven't tried that... libavcodec are in the backport repository anyway so you have to install those libraries from the backport repo also if you are on 2.x kernel. But i think it's better to compile the source directly for the 2.6 kernel!
Kernel 3.2 had changed a lot about the dvb cards, it's strange that your card doesn't work with that kernel, have you tried to compile the driver for the 'new' kernel? What's your card brand and model? Maybe we can find something online...

noxx · 11. Mai 2014

i had try to compile ii with the 2.6 kernel. but tvheadend dont work.... now i looking for
a installation files, like yours.

yes, i compile the drivers with 2.6 and 3.2. under 2.6 the card runs, under 3.2 not.

my bash files for the installtion:

Bash

#!/bin/sh


cd ~
wget http://www.tbsdtv.com/download/document/common/tbs-linux-drivers_v140425.zip
apt-get install -y gcc tar gzip
aptitude install -y linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential cvs libncurses5-dev gcc tar gzip unzip

libavcodec not found

recompile tvheadend for 2.6 WITHOUT libavcodec support.
Use
./configure --help
to find the correct parameter to provide that should be something like --disable-libavcodec
Indeed tvh works fine also without that library, i don't know exactly its role.
For the building of tvheadend use the guide on the tvheadend site and instead of do a "make install" follow the others instructions for the 'packaging'. You will obtain the .deb file at the end.
But I think the best approach is to fix the tvcard driver

noxx · 15. Mai 2014

It runs now under 3.2 kernel

But before I can open the WebGUI, I must every time start tvheadend with ssh: tvheadend -C

it seems, that the script dont work

noxx · 15. Mai 2014

you write:
note that i put my configuration in /etc/tvheadend, if you don't like this you have just to edit the init file and change the path.

but where is the config file? i only install you *.deb file

you write:

but where is the config file? i only install you *.deb file

the standard installation of tvheadend put the configurations file (and database) in a folder under root, called .hts
In the init script, if you do a

cat /etc/init.d/tvheadend

you can see that i'm adding a parameter to the tvheadend launch command and force that to looking for the configuration in /etc/tvheadend
make a folder called
tvheadend in /etc/

and after do a copy of all files with

cp /root/.hts/* /etc/tvheadend/

noxx · 16. Mai 2014

this is my output

i copy all files to etc/tvheadend, reboot the system
but tvheadend is not startet :oops:
