Can't log into webui on raspberry pi

David Coad

Hi,

After using a number of blogs I think I have finally got tvheadend running on raspbian on my RPi.

Only problem is I cant log into the webui.

I try to run it as -f but it still asks for a login.

Is there a default login I can try.

Thanks
Dave

-f = fork into the background

-C = run without any web ui permissions

Try the later option and setup a user account and then restart without -C.

Hi Adam,

Thanks that worked I did tvheadend -f -C

Im having trouble getting a tvheadend.conf that will start at login.

Is there a sample file I could use to work it out? Im guessing it goes in /etc/init

Thanks
Dave

Most of the distrib (raspbmc, xbian) are based on raspbian that does not use upstart by default. Current raspbmc, replaced sysinit module by upstart but in a fairly incompatible way (trying to upgrade underlying rasbian leads to insserv errors) also fails to load tvheadend correctly but this is a 3.1.xxxx version.

It really depends how you've put things together. In "theory" the deb builder stuff is supposed to auto-magically determine whether to use the old sysvinit start script or the upstart script. Though I've personally only checked this with a debian wheezy build.

David,

Yes there should be an init script, /etc/init.d/tvheadend, but it really depends how its been packaged by the packager (you? or someone else?)
