Repository problem?

FuN KeY

Hello everyone,

Starting tonight I am unable to update tvheadend using the apt repository.

At the time I did follow the procedure described here: https://bintray.com/tvheadend/ubuntu and it worked pretty well.

Here is what I now get when I try to do an "apt-get update"

Anyone else with the problem?

Confirmed! Attempting to access
https://dl.bintray.com/tvheadend/deb/dists/jessie/Release
results in an HTTP 403 Forbidden error, likewise other files (Packages, etc.).

Probably a permissions issue on the build scripts - not generating the target files with the necessary permissions.

I Have the same problem i try make the instalation but show me the same error.

Problem with repository?

Someone knows other way to install the tvheadend?

I work with ubuntu server

I made a bug report out of the problem https://tvheadend.org/issues/3866

Jonathan Thomson

The official/new TVHeadend repository is very unreliable - I see regular 403 errors when trying to update (I'm on the 'unstable' branch so get updates almost every day...or would do if the repository was up).

I have switched to using the legacy repository (which according to the wiki will be maintained for the foreseeable) which seems to be in sync with the new repository and have seen no such problems to date.

See here for how to add or switch to the legacy repository: http://tvheadend.org/projects/tvheadend/wiki/AptRepository

Diego Rivera

As I recall, the legacy repo doesn't carry some ARM builds, which are only available in the "new" repo.

Jonathan Thomson

Good shout - for those on x86_64 builds I would definitely recommend adding or replacing the main repository with the legacy one until the issues are fixed.

Thinking there was an issue with Bintray itself, I sent them a support ticket earlier today. Here’s their reply just now:

> You're Bintray account is currently blocked for exceeding its storage quota (14GB/10GB). This looks like it's due to a large number of .work directories stored under your account. Bintray is a distribution platform intended primarily for release versions. If your goal is to host snapshots that are consumed by CI builds, we recommend using Artifactory Online.

> Once you've reduced your storage usage to within the account's limits (10GB), please let us know and we will unblock your account.

Diego Rivera

I would recommend that builds be done "elsewhere", and thus only use Bintray for distribution.

Then again, I'm unfamiliar with the particulars of Bintray or the build process.

Is there another repository out there to install thveadend on my Raspberry without compiling it myself?

THX!

Hello.

Up. Same problem here on a raspbian.

I've to prepare a rpi for a friend of mine, and I'm stuck by this problem :'(

It's strange to see that nobody take care of this since a week; even the ticket is a dead letter.

For me it's a critical issue, I'm really surprised of so few complaints.

Well, hopefully someone with "power" will pass by here ... the soonest will be the better :D

Thanks.

Thorsten Steinbrenner

Agree! I'm also kind of frustrated waiting for someone to fix it.... Well it's an open source project thus the only thing we can do is to be patient and wait......

Thanks!

If you are impatient, you can always do a


wget http://apt.tvheadend.org/unstable/pool/main/t/tvheadend/tvheadend_4.1-1429~ge29df17~jessie_armhf.deb
sudo dpkg -i tvheadend_4.1-1429~ge29df17~jessie_armhf.deb

(for rpi!)

Not tested but it should work (but you will not receive updates).

Thorsten Steinbrenner

I kind of prefere the stable release and automatic updates via apt. Is there another repository for the stable release for armhf? What do I have to put in my sources.lst?

I've tried with

deb http://apt.tvheadend.org/unstable/ jessie main

deb http://apt.tvheadend.org/stable/ jessie main

(note: if you want to try, you have to add the key with "apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys B42317285E12C7CF")

But apt complains about mal-formed Realease file

Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-armhf/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)

Maybe I do something wrong ...

Well, I guess the better is to wait for the Bintray repo :(

Chris Nicholaidis

Am I missing something here guys? So their repo share is simply over quota? So why is it 1 week on and it's still over quota with zero change? Is TVHeadened no longer under active development or is no-one willing to make a management decision as to what can be deleted freeing up storage? I'm left scratching my head on how such an epically simple problem is taking so long to sort out?

Thorsten Steinbrenner

I think you are right! Maybe the one and only developer is on vacation?!?! :(
Maybe we really just have to be patient......

Jonathan Thomson

Patience is indeed a virtue.

Remember that as annoying as it may seem, this is a free product and people give their time for free to make it a possibility. We have no idea what's going on behind the scenes and why it's taking so long to fix the problem.

If you are on an x86 build then you can switch to the legacy repository and carry on. If you need a armhf/Raspberry Pi build, I've created a test build which you can download from https://tvheadend.org/d/3901-trying-to-install-on-ubuntu-16-04-lts?page=2 which is based on a the latest git release.

Awesome!
I will give it a try soon.
Thank you very much.
