Ubuntu 14.04 trouble installing dvbhdhomerun

Added by Peter Schriver about 10 years ago

After multiple attempts at getting dvbhdhomerun on a new install of Ubuntu 14.04 and Tvheadend decided to join the forum and ask for help here.

I follwed this http://sourceforge.net/p/dvbhdhomerun/discussion/1223414/thread/831747bb/?limit=25

and this:

Installing it is not that hard:
1. git clone https://github.com/h0tw1r3/dvbhdhomerun 'dvbhdhomerun-0.0.16+nmu3'
2. cd 'dvbhdhomerun-0.0.16+nmu3'
3. dpkg-buildpackage
4. cd ..
5. dpkg -i dvbhdhomerun-dkms_0.0.16+nmu3_all.deb dvbhdhomerun-utils_0.0.16+nmu3_*.deb

and after adding -d to dpkg-buildpackage and got:

.................
cd build; cmake ..
/bin/sh: 1: cmake: not found
make1: * [build/Makefile] Error 127
make1: Leaving directory `/home/username/dvbhdhomerun-0.0.16+nmu3/userhdhomerun'
make: * [build] Error 2
dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2

Any help would be appreciated

What's the output of

which cmake

and/or does 'man cmake' do anything?

Either cmake isn't installed or isn't in your Bourne shell path - that'd be my guess.

Thanks for the quick reply. "Installing it is not that hard:" is not very accurate. I am a true Noob. I had to install GIT, change "3. dpkg-buildpackage" to dpkg-buildpackage -d, and then install cake and another package but amazingly I now have what appears to be a working dvbhdhomerun

ls /dev/dvb shows:
adapter0  adapter1

I'm getting closer but the device is still not showing up on /Configuration/DVB Inputs/TV Adapters after several reboots

Any chance I could get a little more help? You were correct that Cake wasn't installed:)

I don't have any knowledge of HDHomerun stuff, I'm afraid - one guess, though - start up as normal, wait until it's all finished and you can see the entries in /dev/dvb, then restart tvheadend with sudo service tvheadend restart.

It may be that you simply have a timing issue - tvh could be starting before the HDHomerun stuff has finished loading.

Otherwise, I'll need someone else to offer an opinion...

Thanks. sudo service tvheadend restart worked perfectly. I can now see the adapters. Hopefully someone will help me figure out how to add the delay since I restart frequently to fix noob errors.

You don't need dvbhdhomerun any more. Tvheadend supports hdhomerun directly since several days, see: https://tvheadend.org/boards/5/topics/13610
