Installing TVHeadend on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS PLEASE HELP!!!

-- J876 --

Can anyone please tell me how to install a stable version of TVheadend on the

new Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Desktop OS?

I have added the stable repositories, but there is no compiled version/stable release for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

sudo apt-add-repository http://apt.tvheadend.org/stable sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install tvheadend

It cannot find the package????

Any ideas? Or do I have to compile it from scratch (I really don't want to do this if I don't have to).

Thanks in advance.

Quick & Dirty ;)

sudo apt install curl
curl http://apt.tvheadend.org/repo.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-add-repository -r http://apt.tvheadend.org/stable sudo apt-add-repository http://apt.tvheadend.org/unstable sudo apt update
sudo apt install tvheadend

I take it Trusty Tahr won't be getting a stable release via the repository then?

I'd like to second that question. I wrote an article about tvheadend a while ago and used 12.04 LTS. Now people ask me if they should use Trusty for new installations. tvheadend from unstable runs fine on my Trusty test system, but one machine with one old DVB-C tuner is hardly enough for a recommendation ;-)

So if user demand is the criterion for putting work into tvheadend stable for trusty - there is demand.

Cheers,
Ingo

Thanks guys for your help! The unstable PPA works, I got my PVR back!

Hello, I tried the unstable PPA and I got it going can I change the PPA back to the stable PPA?

Do I have to install the unstable version first?

I have to remove the unstable version when changing the PPA how do I do that?

Thanks in advance!

Another question are you guys still accepting donations to keep this project alive? Because it works very well?

Is the Paypal account still up and running?

With
sudo apt-add-repository -r TVHEADENDMIGRATIONSTART11b56035ac85442daf07ed6c39d7c418TVHEADENDMIGRATIONEND sudo apt-add-repository TVHEADENDMIGRATIONSTARTe4ec1d770cf846ca8527c874b87e1958TVHEADENDMIGRATIONEND you can change back to the stable repository. In some days (weeks, months?), it will override your unstable version with the (new) stable one (when the stable-version-number is higher). You may also get some warnings, that your installed version is newer.... So, If you don't want wait (or you don't like these warnings) you can remove the current unstable version with sudo apt-get remove tvheadend_

(_sudo apt-get purge tvheadend_ will also delete config-files, if you want that)

Now
sudo apt-get install tvheadend

should install the current stable version.

Of course, you do all on your own risk.
