[Unofficial] Raspberry Pi / armhf builds

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...

No it's not free iptv,

And about tvheadend 4.2 installation, I have done like you, I've installed it over 4.1

Yes tvheadend is up, I can stop and start without error..

And do I have to recreate users since I installed over 4.1 ?

No you don't have to recreate users.

Can you stop the tvheadend service and change "TVH_DEBUG" argument to "1" on "/etc/default/tvheadend" and share restart log?

Enjoy!

I have the same issue, the service does not start even when executing sudo /etc/init.d/tvheadend start

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo /etc/init.d/tvheadend start

[ ok ] Starting tvheadend (via systemctl): tvheadend.service.

I confirmed not running with top command.

So localhost:9981 will not load

dpkg -l | grep ii | less
Shows installed package
ii tvheadend 4.2.1 armhf Tvheadend

Nothing appears in the log when restart the pi or when executing sudo /etc/init.d/tvheadend start

Can you try to launch it with command line I gave before? Is there an error (missing library or something)?

I suspect that my .deb didn't ask for dependecies as pakages are installed on my board. I'm new in building package so maybe I missed an argument.

If someone could check my building command line a tell me if something is wrong.

Enjoy!

I forgot that I deleted it before posting in a previous message (once I saw the DEBUG in /etc/default file), sorry.

Here it is : stop tvheadend service (if it's runing then launch as root "tvheadend -u hts -d"

Enjoy!

tvheadend -u hts -d

tvheadend: error while loading shared libraries: libiconv.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So I successfully install libiconv by:

sudo apt-get install libiconv

But still error while loading shared libraries: libiconv.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I do find libiconv.so.2 in /usr/local/lib however.

Perhaps this helps?

Maybe you also need the "libav" package to be installed.

Here are package I had to install to build from sources :
For building : build-essential git pkg-config libssl-dev bzip2 wget debhelper gettext libavahi-client-dev git-core liburiparser-dev cmake

For dependecies : libdvbcsa-dev libav-tools libiconv libavcodec-dev

Maybe you need one of them to be installed t ohave tvheadend working properly.

Enjoy!

EDIT : here are dependencies I have for my tvheadend install


 apt-cache depends tvheadend
tvheadend
  Dépend: libavahi-client3
  Dépend: libavahi-common3
  Dépend: libc6
  Dépend: libdbus-1-3
  Dépend: libdvbcsa1
  Dépend: libssl1.0.0
  Dépend: liburiparser1
  Dépend: zlib1g
  Dépend: dvb-apps
  Dépend: bzip2
  Recommande: xmltv-util
  Remplace: <hts-tvheadend>
  Améliore: <showtime>

But I guess all of the are listed from deb package.

I got v4.2.1 working on the Pi3!

Here is the steps I used. Some may or may not be necessary but it now works.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install dvb-tools
dpkg -i /location of saved deb file in the post above/tvheadend_4.2.1_armhf.deb
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libiconv
sudo apt-get install build-essential git pkg-config libssl-dev bzip2 wget
sudo apt-get install libavahi-client-dev zlib1g-dev libavcodec-dev libavutil-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev
sudo apt-get install build-essential git pkg-config libssl-dev bzip2 wget debhelper gettext libavahi-client-dev git-core liburiparser-dev cmake
the following steps resets TVHeadend to default if it was installed over a previous version. I found this was necessary.
sudo /etc/init.d/tvheadend stop
sudo rm -rf /home/hts/.hts/tvheadend/
sudo dpkg-reconfigure tvheadend

sudo /etc/init.d/tvheadend start

Thanks Lionel! Great work!

I've complied 4.3-150~g54e63e3 (25/5/17) for the Raspberry pi, installed and successfully tested it.
If anyone's interested in trying it let me know and I'll upload it.

Hector Zeped

Please upload it. I tried 4.2.1 and is not working in my RPI2, if possible with some instructions :-)

thanks

a a

Attached is 4.3-150~g54e63e3_armhf.deb for Raspberry Pi that I compiled this evening and tested. It is the development master branch release for today (25/5/17)

To install-

sudo dpkg -i /location folder of saved deb file/tvheadend_4.3-150~g54e63e3_armhf.deb

To start TvHeadend for the first time-

sudo /etc/init.d/tvheadend start

If asks to dvb-tools before installation-
sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install dvb-tools

If Tvheadend doesn't start to see what dependencies are missing-

tvheadend -u hts -d

And follow the instructions in my post above to install the missing files.

If all the dependencies are installed and still doesn't start, reset the config files to default-
sudo /etc/init.d/tvheadend stop
sudo rm -rf /home/hts/.hts/tvheadend/
sudo dpkg-reconfigure tvheadend

sudo /etc/init.d/tvheadend start

Let me know how it goes!

Hector Zeped

Hi.

I had to reinstall it in a fresh raspbian-lite image, I followed all steps since begining, then your steps in previous post and it worked...thanks a lot.

Glad to hear it worked.

Hello World!

If someone wants the 4.2.2 build, just ask. I have it running on my CubieBoard.

Enjoy!

Attached is v4.3-184 the development build from the master branch dated 31/5/17. Tested working okay on my Pi3.

What does that involve? Not familiar with doozer.

Hello,

They are automatic build for every github commit.

Actually there are build for Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS... But not for ARM devices.

Regards.
