Tvheadend

Dear board,

It's my first post and I want to say thank you to all the developers an supporters for this great piece of software.

Unfortunately I had trouble after an software update and I want to share my experiences with you.

tvheadend is compiled from source and was rock solid. Then I had the idea to enable trans coding for tvheadend. After doing AUTOBUILD_CONFIGURE_EXTRA="--enable-libffmpeg_static_x264 and compiling again I installed the newly compiled version.

From this moment I got this error in the server syslog:

I tried to get rid of it by updating kodi (2:16.0~git20150810) and kodi-pvr-hts to the latest version and updated tvheadend from git to 4.1-372. But: It was of no help and I had no idea about the reason.

Solution
After searching the net and trying a lot of things, this helped:

Compiling tvheadend with transcoding disabled and reset all settings in kodi regarding hts.

Step 1: Applying

AUTOBUILD_CONFIGURE_EXTRA="--disable-libffmpeg_static_x264\
--disable-hdhomerun_client --mcpu=cortex-a7 --mtune=cortex-a7\
--mfpu=vfpv4-d16 --mfpu=neon-vfpv4 --funsafe-math-optimizations\
--disable-libav"
(this options are hardware specific: --mcpu=cortex-a7 --mtune=cortex-a7
--mfpu=vfpv4-d16 --mfpu=neon-vfpv4 --funsafe-math-optimizations)

Step 2: ./Autobuild.sh
Step 3: installing the freshly compiled *.deb

Step 4: Resetting Kodi
In the Live-TV menu: Disable Live-tv an set all settings to default values
Choose delete to reset the channels lists and EPG
In the add-on menu: Go to pvr-addon and set the values on all sliders to default

Step 5: Kodi menu
Go to Live-TV and enable it. Have fun ...
