[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...

Hello,

Same happens:

# tvheadend Illegal instruction

I install with steps from https://tvheadend.org/d/3969-unofficial-raspberry-pi-armhf-builds?r=23548#message-23548

This is the version I installed: 4.1.2141-g01c26fc

I could configure a rpi with a fresh install.

Regards.

I've gotten to the bottom of the issue, the cross-compiler was not compiling with the correct arm version. I've fixed that now and pushed a new build (4.1-2331~gf2371cf) which I've tested on a Raspberry Pi B+ and a Raspberry Pi 3 - both installed and ran with no issues.

One thing to note is that building with ffmpeg_static enabled is broken at the moment (due to a bug in gcc) so these builds do not have ffmpeg_static enabled. This shouldn't be a problem as even the RPi 3 is too slow for reliable transcoding. If you have ffmpeg installed on your box then I think that it should make use of it but I couldn't swear on it.

I am in the process of testing a Jessie chroot to see if I can cross-compile with everything enabled under Jessie (which has the newer version of gcc which fixes the above bug) but it's not a priority. I've literally spent the last 24 hours doing nothing only get this build working so I'm done for a bit :)

Please test and provide feedback.

Josu Lazkano

Thanks!

I try it again but it install the same version:

# dpkg -l | grep tvheadend ii tvheadend 4.1-2141~g01c26fc armhf Tvheadend

I have this repo:

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

I donwload and install manually:


# dpkg -i tvheadend_4.1-2331-gf2371cf_armhf.deb 
(Reading database ... 41106 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack tvheadend_4.1-2331-gf2371cf_armhf.deb ...
Unpacking tvheadend (4.1-2331~gf2371cf) over (4.1-2141~g01c26fc) ...
Setting up tvheadend (4.1-2331~gf2371cf) ...
Processing triggers for systemd (215-17+deb8u5) ...

And it works! I can access to the web interface!

I think that is something wrong in the repo links. The build looks good.

Thanks for your great help.

Kind regards.

Hi Josu

First thing, thank you very much for standing up the Jessie install for me - I was locked away in my office getting this to work before I realised you'd emailed me so I just wanted to say "thanks" for doing that and for offering me access to your RPi - truth is, I have every Pi ever made, it's time I'm short on :)

With regards to the above, there are no jessie specific builds any more - I did a couple but it was taking too much time to maintain wheezy 4.0, wheezy 4.1, jessie 4.0 and jessie 4.1 so I just dropped the jessie branch and now only maintain the wheezy branch. If you switch "jessie" for "wheezy" in /etc/apt/sources.list then you'll get the latest build(s) - they are compatible with jessie despite being built on wheezy.

Josu Lazkano

Thank again Jonathan,

Could you explain how to compile it for Jessie? I will leave all the night compiling my little rpi.

Kind regards.

Thanks' a lot Jonathan!

I'll test your build soon.

Regards,

Olivier

Updated the first post to remove redundant information and also include details of my new BuildBot script which will push new builds of TVHeadend (both 4.0 and 4.1) to Bintray within hours of the source code being published by the TVHeadend team to Github.

Hi all,

First of all, Jonathan thanks a lot for your work to bring us the Tvheadend repo for RPi users...

I´ve installed tvheadend stable (4.0.9-13~g64fec81) from the repo but I would like to switch to the 4.1 unstable version to get the SAT>IP server feature.

I have the two lines in sources.list but even commenting the stable one if I write:

dpkg -l |grep tvheadend ii tvheadend 4.0.9-13~g64fec81 armhf Tvheadend

Only get the stable version and if I write:

apt-get install tvheadend unstable

I get an error saying that It couldn´t find the package

Could you guide me how to do it?
Thanks a lot!

The purpose of the BuildBot is to check out the new code, compile it into a redistributable Debian (.deb) archive and automatically publish it to Bintray. This is an ALPHA-like trial at the moment as I need to wait for a change to the 4.1 branch to check that it works end-to-end. The benefit of this is that new builds will be uploaded to Bintray within 24 hours of the code being added to Github - I'll review these timings later providing the script works as expected, with the aim of doing 4 build cycles per branch (4 stable and 4 unstable) per day - that will cut the 24 hour wait down to a maximum of 8 hours delay between Github and my Bintray repository.

First, thanks for making these packaged builds available - much appreciated.

It appears that the "BuildBot" isn't completing its task. The build that apt-get downloads is 4.1-2332~g38c9e89 whereas the the latest version is 4.1-2409~g4db3eec

Hallo Bosse

Thanks, Thanks, Thanks,

I create an Image for the Banana PI M3 with ubuntu Mate, and this repository.

Who can put it on his Server?

Robert Mast

I tried these repositories, but all are missing the Transcode option, so I'll still have to build a long run on my RPi1.

I want to try the transcode option to see GStreamer working with TVHeadend. Someone suggested to transcode the audio-stream to 0101 to get gstreamer to work, as the assumed working gstreamer-builds exclusively seem to work with audio on 0101.

Tvheadend 4.2.1 final out now. Any chance to bring up the automatic build process again?
Thx for you work until now :)

Hello,

I built a deb package on my armhf board (CubieBoard 1) running Debian Jessie. You can find it in attachement (SHA1 checksum is : 761e72965eb9a6d3ef3dd8d95a3ebe5f3c2e83fc ).

I downloaded source here :
https://github.com/tvheadend/tvheadend/releases/tag/v4.2.1
and used command line given above to build it :

AUTOBUILD_CONFIGURE_EXTRA=--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\ --disable-ffmpeg_static\ --enable-hdhomerun_static\ --enable-dvbcsa\ --enable-bundle ./Autobuild.sh

Be warned that I didn't installed it on my board as 4.1 build works great (and I spent too much time to break it one more time ^_^ ).

So if you try it successfully please be kind to report it here.

Enjoy!

Hello,

So I finally install my build (via dpkg) upon 4.1 version. Everything went straight and I didn't loose anything.

If someone else try it, please report here. I may apply to tvheadend team for official build.

Enjoy!

I'm currently working on stop-gap (until doozer has support) builds for Raspbian using a spare Pi of mine - I'll try to upload them to bintray once I'm happy with the way they're built.

That would be great! Thanks for your support.

Enjoy!

Trying to install on a Pi3 I get the following error:

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of tvheadend:

I guess you have to install dvb-apps. I thought dpkg includes dependencies.

Sorry for inconvenience.

Enjoy!

Hello Lionel,

First, i would like to tanks you for your jod, very helpful.
Second, I'm French so excuse my English some time..:)

Third :

I'm running my pi3 with Osmc kodi 17.1
I have successfully installed tvheadend 4.1-2332
I'm using it to stream and record iptv only, I don't have any dvb card connected

I'm facing a problem with that version, some time (randomly) the stream goes to 0 and I have to switch the channel to another and back to have the stream back. If I'm recording the stream, the record goes to the end with no errors but I'm missing all from the freeze ... Look's like bug #3843.

So I've decided to install 4.2 with dpkg and the deb you give. I have installed dvb-apps so everything's goes well on the installation.

BUT after the install I have no acces to tvheadend neither by html 9981 or frontend 9982.

My browser respond me that the server refused the connection

So I'm stuck at that point..

Hopefully I've done a copy of my SD before attempting that so I can revert back. I have done to unsuccefull try this morning.

If you have any suggest, I'll be glad to hear from you about

Thanks again

Hello Philippe,

I'm French too so I guess we should understand our english mistakes. :D

I think you're streaming Free IPTV streams right ? I tried before switching to another ISP but really shortly and on tvheadend-4.1 version so I can't help you here.

About your tvheadend issue : is your tvheadend service running ("service tvheadend status" on command line)? Can you stop it and launch tvheadend on command line to see if you have warnings or errors? Had you created some users to access tvheadend?

Enjoy!
