TVHeadEdit tool

Hi, I was struggling a lot with Tvheadend GUI since it goes very slow with huge number of DVB services and does not support bulk change of settings. Finall...

Hi Mario,

Thanks for the bug report. Actually the fault was introduced before 2024 :(
Anyway it is corrected now.

Hi, I would love to use this, but how do I load my TVHeadend database which is located on my Linux Xubuntu box?

I have this application on a Windows PC on the same network as the Linux box.

Kind regards.

Akos Sz

Go into the preferences menu and browse the database folder if it is accesible via network share. Otherwise put a copy of database onto your windows machine.
See the video in the first post.

Hi,

I have exactly the same problem astredman. What files do you need from me to re-produce it?

Hi Alexey,

It seems that there is a fault in loading channel tags.
The fastest and best way if you send me your TVH database folder in a zipped file. Then I can fix the issue quickly.

Akos Sz

Hi,

The fix is available now.
Anyway the problem was caused by invalid (corrupted?) parameter values in the TVH database. I compared the same multiplexer data in my DB and it is OK.

Example:

"orbital_pos": "28.2E",
"networkname": "Astra",
"frequency": 11223670,
"symbolrate": 27500000,
"polarisation": "V",
"sid": 53153,
"svcname": "Premier HD",

"provider": "BSkyB",

The service description data file contains this line which does not look like a valid value.

"duration": 4294967295

Regards,
Ákos

Hi,

Can you describe exactly what did you change before this fault happened?

If you can, please try to find the most simple way of reproduction. It would help me to fix the problem quickly.

when I select channels batch to give them numbers and I click on save now

note:
I work in window 10

Akos Sz

Hi,

I managed to reproduce the fault. It was related to channels with no name due to not assigned to any DVB service. (Inconsistent TVH database). Now the fault is corrected in 2027.

Alexey Gerenkov

Hi Akos,

Thank you very much. I will try new version and let you know the results.

Alexey Gerenkov

Hi Akos,

Sorry for so long silence. I had no access to my sat setup. Now I checked you tool on running system and it works great.
Thank you for the tool!

Goncalo Luiz

How can I disable, say, 500 channels in one action ? Selecting 500 rows and unchecking the "enabled" checkbox (which by the way requires a double-click), only disables the channel whose checkbox I have clicked.

Akos Sz

Hi,

To edit multiple selection you have to right-click into the cell. This is valid for checkbox, text and numerical fields as well.

Goncalo Luiz

Thanks, this worked.

I am using 4.1-2140~gf34fac1~wily so I'm not too sure if the resulting database will work (tvheadedit does warn the user about this)

I will post the results here.

Your tool is very useful.

Goncalo Luiz

Sadly it didn't work. I am not sure what went wrong, though.

I used a sed filter to disable all (~1500) channels and then manually activated the ones I wanted (~200). If anybody else wishes to do this, here's the command I used:

sed -i -- 's/"enabled": true/"enabled": false/g' * (inside tvh/channel/config) The command completes instantly.

Cheers.

hakan kayam

Hi Akos,

thanks for this program it closes a huge gap in tvheadend. But I get an error when i click scrape lyngsat logo db. i attach the error report.

Akos Sz

Hi Hakan,

I do not update the app in the near future. Anyway, I tested and it looks OK on my computer. Please make sure that the temp folder is set correctly in the preferences menu if you have this problem permanent.

If you cannot get rid of this error please use this fresh grab file attached. Just copy it into the temp folder is set in TvHeadEdit and go directly to logo URL update with skipping the "scrape" step.
