Help with updating TVHeadend on my system

A L

Hi there.

I am currently running Openmediavault 5 (which is based upon Debian 10/Buster) on an Odroid HC2, which is an ARM-based server.

According to the download page

https://phillw.net/mark/incoming/deb_packages/tvheadend/

4.3-1857 is the latest version of TVH available to me (and I have been using if for years, now).

However, according to this page (see post #20)

https://tvheadend.org/issues/5673#note-3

Nihill Baxter has kindly provided some updated versions that should work on my system.

I tried installing the latest one and have got this message:

ffmpeg is already the newest version (7:4.1.6-1~deb10u1).

Any advice on what to do would be very much appreciated

Looks like you need to install libdvbcsa1 and liburiparser1, then try tvheadend again.

mpmc

apt install -f should sort it.

Seems you have to install the dependencies, maybe use apt-get -t (maybe buster_backports from deb-multimedia.org) to explicit install newer versions.... >> apt-get install -t buster-backports <package>

Hey

I see everyone is so smart but no one helped you. Here's what you need to do:

sudo apt-get -y install apt-transport-https lsb-release ca-certificates curl && sudo wget -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/php.gpg https://packages.sury.org/php/apt.gpg && sudo sh -c 'echo "deb https://packages.sury.org/php/ buster main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/php.list' && sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org buster main non-free" > /etc/apt/sources.list' && wget http://www.deb-multimedia.org/pool/main/d/deb-multimedia-keyring/deb-multimedia-keyring_2016.8.1_all.deb && sudo dpkg -i deb-multimedia-keyring_2016.8.1_all.deb && sudo rm deb-multimedia-keyring_2016.8.1_all.deb

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y && sudo apt install liburiparser1 libdvbcsa1 -y

sudo wget https://github.com/armbian/firmware/raw/master/dvb-demod-mn88472-02.fw -P /lib/firmware/

4. download the latest tvheadend deb from https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1biBHWLb8nm_IKrXqfkUoDTbmT7xJAwrL

5. sudo dpkg -i tvheadend.deb

6. sudo reboot

enjoy!

The funny thing is:after you have read SAENACROs link andafter you have invested 30 minutes you will recognize that the link has NOTHING to do with the problem....

Try basic logic.

Hey SAEN: I've seen that you are are spending time to edit my username manually to insult me. In another thread you have stated "Ignored Spamer user ".

Are not even capable to insult properly or are you missing persistence and consistency?

Do you need help to insult ?
