roisiano2 patfenton Perhaps you should try a more recent version of tvheadend. 4.2.8 has some years. I use: HTS Tvheadend 4.3-2180 ~ LibreELEC Tvh-addon v21.2.3 https://tvheadend.org/p/downloads " Tvheadend v4.2.x is no longer supported and Tvheadend v4.3.x is our current stable "rolling" release: meaning there are no formal release announcements, the "latest" build number increments each time we commit changes (...) "
patfenton result from sudo apt-get upgrade tvheadend tvheadend is already the newest version (4.2.8-34g24a2f59e9+rpt1buster). Any thoughts?
chewitt patfenton Any thoughts? The repo is obsolete and 4.2.8 is no longer supported. Go visit the downloads page and configure our repo, then install the actual newest/current version.
patfenton Thanks, great. Just so that I know, why does the RPi tell me it is the latest version even after doing a full upgrade?
patfenton I run the curl command to download the repo, see image attached. I then run sudo apt upgrade tvheadend and it tells me I am on the latest version. What am I missing?
davep patfenton The various Linux distributions only build packages for formal releases of applications. For various reasons, Tvheadend hasn't had a formal release for about 8 years so the project has had to build its own packages. You can get the latest build for your operating system from https://tvheadend.org/p/downloads.
davep patfenton What was the output of the curl -1sLf 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/tvheadend/tvheadend/setup.deb.sh' | sudo -E bash command?
davep patfenton Apologies I see you already posted the output of the install script. Did you try apt update then apt upgrade (without specifying tvheadend)?
patfenton Tried absolutely everything apt upgrade apt update apt full-upgrade apt install It keeps thinking that it is already the newest version One thing I have not tried is removing tvheadend as I just expect it will install my version again and I'll lose all my configuration for no reason.
Flole patfenton One thing I have not tried is removing tvheadend as I just expect it will install my version again and I'll lose all my configuration for no reason. As long as you don't purge a package all configuration files are preserved, thats the default for most (if not all) deb packages btw.
patfenton sudo apt remove tvheadend # OK sudo apt install tvheadend # OK As expected, ended with the same old version again. But thanks for responding. Are you really sure that the repo has a newer version in it?
DaveH I note somewhere above it says you are running raspbian buster on your pi. I don't claim to be an expert but I can't find anything except a lot of bookworm and a few bullseye packages for raspbian. So I'm not surprised your upgrade ends with nothing to do. You need to upgrade your pi first, and ideally swap it for a newer one, I suppose.
patfenton Yes Dave, ancient. about 5 years old. It came bundled with this OS. Definitely I need to a buy a newer one.
patfenton Raspbian came installed on the RPi 3 B+ and has been very stable. I upgraded the OS recently. sudo apt full-upgrade.
