TVHeadend build and install on Ubuntu 22.04 64 bit x86_64 platform for beginners

Jonas Lang · 2022-09-29T14:15:23+00:00

I am setting out below what instructions I used to build TVHeadend from source on Ubuntu 22.04 64 bit based on the x86_64 architecture in a simple copy/paste...

Jonas Lang

AliSLR Basically it’s a three stage process here. You install all the required dependencies, run the autobuild script and finally create the package. Could you confirm how many of the stages you have completed successfully.

It really is vital that you supply as much detail as possible regarding your hardware/software setup and debug logs where available. There are users running Ubuntu or other Linux variants behind the Windows WSL (Windows subsystem) among other setups available.This may well affect the operation of TVH.

If you’ve already installed TVH from precompiled package sources that fine. If you want to continue with the build/compile process you can indicate that too.

Jonas Lang Thanks for your comments, I already installed all required dependencies, expect libavresample-dev which had below error and after search noted bavresample-devs substituted with libswresample-dev, Thus I presume I'm stuck on stage two either running auto-build script. Basically as new user don't expect small details will lead to big impact, thanks for the info.

Yes, already running TVH from pre-complied package source, but to be honest i dont know what will be different if i complied it myself or use other pre-complied package. I'm much interested to continue the built and compile the process.

Package libavresample-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'libavresample-dev' has no installation candidate

as of now, still stuck on <Autobuild/debian.sh: line 45: dpkg-buildpackage: command not found>

AliSLR are you sure you spelt the package name correctly as follows

sudo apt install libswresample-dev

AliSLR

Jonas Lang Yes,

Have you got ffmpeg installed. If not install it as follows

sudo apt install ffmpeg

Once ffmpeg is installed run the autobuild script again and report back here.

Probably your biggest advantage self building/compiling is the ability to transcode for your particular GPU.

AliSLR

Jonas Lang Currently I'm using CPU Rayzen 7 7800X3D with built-in GPU AMD Radeon Graphic controller, till I receive Asus ROG Strix GeFroce RTX 4080 Super on 20th Aug.

Jonas Lang

Can you change to this folder

cd ~/build/tvheadend

If so what are the contents of it

AliSLR

Jonas Lang
'ali@AMD:~$ cd ~/build/tvheadend

Jonas Lang

I'm assuming you are running the autobuild script in the correct folder ~/build/tvheadend/master

AliSLR

Jonas Lang Correct

Jonas Lang

AliSLR you're not. You should be in ~/build/tvheadend/master. You need to do the following

cd ~/build/tvheadend/master

then run the autobuild script. You need to be in the folder where you downloaded git clone to. Could you confirm this.

AliSLR

Jonas Lang COnfirmed, i'm in correct path,

Jonas Lang

Could you run the following

./configure

and paste the output

AliSLR

Jonas Lang I could manage to clear the error <Autobuild/debian.sh: line 45: dpkg-buildpackage: command not found> by using sudo apt-get install dpkg-dev command and after running the autobuild after compiling 10 seconds, got error message.

'ERROR: x265 not found using pkg-config

If you think configure made a mistake, make sure you are using the latest
version from Git. If the latest version fails, report the problem to the
ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org mailing list or IRC #ffmpeg on irc.libera.chat.
Include the log file "ffbuild/config.log" produced by configure as this will help
solve the problem.
