Adam Sutton This says you have a username/password configured in TVH for access control (do you enter a password when logging into the UI?). And that you've not configured XBMC with those details. Adam
Mark Hula Hi, I tried to add a user in the tvheadend ui. I tried both an xbmc user and also the user created when tvheadend was installed. The UI always comes back with 'transaction aborted' Cheers
Mark Hula If I remove a user (assuming they were actually added which I doubt); the debug log/error is the same. I wasguessing it wasn't a user related problem..... Cheers
Adam Sutton Check the contents of ~TVHUSER/.hts/tvheadend/superuser and ~TVHUSER/.hts/tvheadend/accesscontrol where TVHUSER is the username used to run TVH (default: hts). See what accounts you have created. Adam
Mark Hula Hi, Appreciate your help! Ok, now I am confused. The user has a .hts directory with tvheadend in it; but that just contains a epgdb file ; no access control or superuser directory. thanks
Adam Sutton How have you installed this (and from where)? Doesn't sound like its been set up properly. Adam
Mark Hula Hi, I just did: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pulse-eight/pulse sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install xbmc tvheadend If this is incorrect can you please advise how to uninstall and then reinstall correctly?? thanks
Adam Sutton Hmmm, not sure if P8 repo doesn't anything else diff but I thought they were just shadowing our builds these days. Try running: dpkg-reconfigure tvheadend And see if that asks you to put in a username/password for the super/admin user. Adam
Adam Sutton Check exactly which user tvh is running as. Then add the following file: ~TVHUSER/.hts/tvheadend/superuser with contents { "username": "USERNAME, "password": "PASSWORD" } replacing USERNAME/PASSWORD accordingly. This should do what that reconfigure should have done. Adam
Mark Hula Hi, I added that file; no difference. Just to check I am doing this right; how do I check exactly who is running tvheaded?; I can't see it in 'top' Cheers
Mark Hula Hi, hts 6921 1 0 15:06 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/tvheadend -f -u hts -g video pocster 7587 2280 0 15:22 pts/2 00:00:00 grep --color=auto tvheadend I assume this is correct?
Mark Hula Forgive my confusion! So user hrs was created by tvheadend yes? - does it have a password? (or does it not require one?). I login in via ip:9981 with the pocster user.
Adam Sutton Assuming you've changed nothing, the hts (system) user will be created without the ability to login. (It's for running the daemon only). You will need to put the file into /home/hts/.hts/tvheadend/superuser (as root - use sudo vi etc...). I still don't get why it didn't do this on initial install. Adam
