[Unofficial] Raspberry Pi / armhf builds

Jonathan Thomson · 2016-06-30T22:47:32+00:00

As a way of giving something back to the community, I have set up a bintray repository for some Raspberry Pi / armhf builds of TVHeadend. I am by no means pr...

I feel like a total moron, I answered my own question. I had the stable branch seleced in my /etc/apt/sources.list so, um,yeah. I changed to unstable did another apt-get update and BAM! There was the 4.1 version. Well I feel dumb :( :P :D :(

Oh yeah and once I got the 4.1 stream installed the EPG started to work. I am using zap2xml for my EPG BTW. If anyone wants (and if I have some spare time) I can do up a little how to for the EPG

Hello

Is it possible to have a newer build?

Thanks' a lot.

Jonathan Thomson

I've had to rebuild my cross-compile environment but I've got a couple of builds baking now. I'll add them ASAP.

Jonathan Thomson

armhf build 4.0.9-13~g64fec81 added to the repository. Struggling to get 4.1 to build.

Jonathan Thomson

I've added 4.1-2328~gca5f094 to the repositoryBUT it may not work. This builedDOES NOT contain ffmpeg-static so you will need to have ffpmeg on your system for it to work (you may need to sudo apt-get install -f) after installing this version to fix dependencies.

Hello,

I just installed this repository (jessie unstable) in my Raspberry Pi Model B (Rev 2.0, 512Mb), this the versión I installed: 4.1-2141-g01c26fc

The problema is that it doesn't start:

# /etc/init.d/tvheadend start Starting tvheadend (via systemctl): tvheadend.service.

But there is no tvheadend process running:


# ps -e | grep tvhead

I am missing something?

I will really appreciate your help.

Best regards.

Can you try running the tvheadend binary manually;

/usr/bin/tvheadend -f -p /var/run/tvheadend.pid -u $TVH_USER -g $TVH_GROUP

You'll get a better idea of what is happening with the service.

The above assumes /etc/default/tvheadend has your username and group in, if not, replace $TVH_USER with your tvheadend user (hts?) and $TVH_GROUP with the group of the tvheadend user (hts or video?)

Josu Lazkano

Thanks,

I get this:

# tvheadend -f -p /var/run/tvheadend.pid -u hts -g hts Illegal instruction

I am missing something? Need I configure something else?

Best regards.

Hello,

I want to install thveadend to share my satellite channels to Kodi clients.

I have a Raspberry Pi Model B (Rev 2.0, 512Mb) with one USB DVB-S2 device. I installed "2016-09-23-raspbian-jessie-lite.img" on it and install tvheadend this way:

Update the system:

apt-get update apt-get upgrade reboot

Add the unofficial repo:

apt-get install apt-transport-https

# cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tvheadend.list #tvheadend unofficial repo deb https://dl.bintray.com/djbenson/deb jessie unstable

apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 379CE192D401AB61

Install tvheadend:

apt-get update apt-get install tvheadend

And this what I get when execute the service:

# tvheadend -f -p /var/run/tvheadend.pid -u hts -g hts Illegal instruction

I am doing something wrong?

I will really appreciate your help.

Kind regards.

Jonathan Thomson

Hi Josu

Is it the 4.0 or 4.1 build you installed?

Jonathan Thomson

I'll give a full response soon but the short answer is "no" you didn't do anything wrong, I probably did.

Josu Lazkano

Thanks Jonathan,

I have unstable repository for jessie: 4.1-2141-g01c26fc.

If you need some help for testing just ask for it.

Thank for your help, best regards.

Thanks' for your new build.

Sorry about the issues guys, I am trying (with everything else I have to do in the real world) to get the builds sorted. I am going to remove the last two builds from the repository so those with broken builds can remove the current build and re-install the previous build whilst I work out how to resolve the issue.

Ideally, the builds would be built on real RPi hardware but I can't spare the hardware to build for the various RPi hardware/software variations.

Can we do a straw poll of requirements here - please reply with the answer to the following:

1) Which Raspberry Pi are you running?
2) Which version of TVHeadend do you need (4.0 or 4.1)
3) Which version of Raspbian are you running (Wheezy or Jessie)

Josu Lazkano

Jonathan, you don't need to sorry, your work is so appreciated.

My requirements:

1) Raspberry Pi Model B (Rev 2.0, 512Mb)
2) 4.1 (I need Automatic IPTV network)

3) Jessie Lite

I have 2 Raspberry Pi, so I could configure one of them with a fresh Raspbian installation and give you full access (SSH). Tell me if you need it.

Best regards.

Don't be sorry, thanks' for your hard work.

I need TVHE 4.1 (unstable) on Jessie, for a RPI2

Regards,

Olivier

Jonathan Thomson

I've pushed a new build to Bintray - not convinced the issue is resolved but if one of you could try it out I'd appreciate it. If this doesn't work I'll need to dig out a real Pi and use that.
