Raspberry Pi as Tvheadend server

Josu Lazkano

Hello,

I want to install Tvheadened in a Raspberry Pi. The idea is to configure as SAT>IP, I will add a USB DVB-S2 device.

I have some questions:

- Which distribution could I use?
- Is there any good repo for rpi? Or need I compile it for myself?

- I want to connect this SAT>IP server to a main Tvheadeend server, clients for main server could record some channels, where will the recordings store? in the SAT-IP server or in the main server?

I will appreciate any help and experience on it.

Best regards.

Hello again,

I installed Jessi Raspbian lite image on the Raspberry Pi model B.

The problem is that there is no packages in both official repositories:

deb http://apt.tvheadend.org/unstable jessie main deb https://dl.bintray.com/tvheadend/deb jessie unstable

How could I get a working package for mi Pi?

I will appreciate your help.

Kind regards.

If you just want to create a SAT>IP server to send the DVB-S2 stream elsewhere (other TVHeadend server) then I recommend looking at minisatip. It is a very lightweight simple SAT>IP server.

Thanks Anthony,

I will try minisatip, but I want to try Tvheadend in the Raspberry Pi.

Is there someone with Raspberry Pi as Tvheadened server?

Best regards.

Yes, I'm using a Pi2 as a TVheadend server running Raspbian Jessie.

Its recording from a DVB-T usb tuner (AF9015) to a USB stick, but will also serve live tv to another Pi3 running libreelec/Kodi.

I followed the instuctions here:

Dont forget to add the firmware for your tuner.

Thanks Paul!

I will try with the repository of the link you provide me.

Best regards.
