Hi guys, I am trying to install tvheadend. I then found this sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 379CE192D401AB61 $ su...

Hi guys
OK now in my TV Adapters, I can see two adapters
/dev/dvb/adapter0 [Silicon Labs Si2168]
/dev/dvb/adapter1 [Silicon Labs Si2168]
I click on teh DVB-T #0 on my second one and in the dropdown for the Networks, I select My DVB-T Network, which is what the other stick is using.
Do I need to do anything with the linked input or leave that as Not Linked.

I also need to mess abit with the Aerial. But, it says I have 146 Mapped Channels, so I am guessing this is OK?

Cheers
Paul.

it's mainly for dual devices, to prevent issues with some drivers that fail to tune if both tuners aren't tuned in sync..

yes, it's fine.

Thanks Mark

I will get the Aerial sorted out over the next few weeks.

Does the August DVB-T210 works on Ubuntu 16.04 out of the box? I need a DVB-T2 tuner but I would prefer not to mess with the kernel

Thank you!

This conversation started on another thread. The answer is 'almost' - you don't need to recompile but do need two drivers.

Hi Guys,
Could you please let me know what should i put in /etc/apt/sources.list in order to install tvheadend on raspberry pi 2 running Ubuntu-mate 16.04 LTS? No matter what deb repository I add I always get "...doesn't support architecture 'armhf'" when apt-get update and "Unable to locate package tvheadend" when trying to install. Thank you for guidance.

Graham H

You don't say what you have tried, but it seems the official repo supports ubuntu only on x86. If you have tried the debian repo https://bintray.com/tvheadend/deb, which does support armhf, and failed then you will probably have to compile tvheadend:

If you'd like to try my armhf build then you can download it from here;

I cross-compiled this on Ubuntu x86_64 but haven't got round to testing it yet. This is built from git 4.1-2135~g631b6b5 using the same compilation options as the official repository;


--prefix=/usr --includedir=${prefix}/include --mandir=${prefix}/share/man --infodir=${prefix}/share/info --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --disable-silent-rules --libexecdir=${prefix}/lib/tvheadend --disable-maintainer-mode --disable-dependency-tracking --enable-libffmpeg_static --enable-hdhomerun_static --enable-dvbcsa --enable-bundle

EDIT: removed invalid link from my post

Jonathan Thomson

Sorry about that, first time I've ever used Mega to share a file.

New link is in my original post above - would you remind editing your post to remove the invalid link please.

For the record, I've installed it on a Raspberry Pi that I completely forgot was on my network (it's hidden in my comms cabinet on Apple HomeKit duty). The sign of a true geek when you've got RPi's in the house that you forgot where there lol.

It certainly installs/runs but I've not got any USB tuners to test it with so it's over to the community to test.

To manually install;
Download from the link above

run (as root or sudo) dpkg -i <packagename>.deb

If this is the first time TVHeadend has been installed, you might have to run (as root or sudo) 'apt-get install -f' to fix any dependency issues.

No, the sign of a true geek is bothering to cross-compile some software when you have no hardware to use it with ;)

Jonathan Thomson

That's a fair shout :)
