[Tutorial] Installing Codecs and TVHeadend >=3.9 with transcoding

Hello guys,

A few words at the beginning: I am a ubuntu newbie! Knowing just a few basics...

I'm currently using Ubuntu 12 x64, and I want to use / test the transcoding function in TVHeadend.

*This works with Version >=3.9.18xx

Vorbereitungen / prerequisites
su

Zum Paket bauen / for building packet
apt-get install build-essential pkg-config libssl-dev git

Die Codecs / codecs (maybe not needed with static flag on autobuild script...)
apt-get install libavahi-client-dev libavcodec-dev libavfilter-dev libavformat-dev libavutil-dev libswscale-dev libavcodec-extra-53 liburiparser1 liburiparser-dev debhelper libcurl4-gnutls-dev a52dec

TVHeadEnd vom GIT herunterladen / download from git
cd /usr/src git clone https://github.com/tvheadend/tvheadend.git cd tvheadend

*Transcoding anschalten / enable transcoding*
nano src/plumbing/transcoding.c
 uint32_t transcoding_enabled = 0;
Ändern in / Change to
 uint32_t transcoding_enabled = 1;

Paket bauen / building packet (Thanks to Mark Clarkstone)
~~./Autobuild.sh -t precise-amd64~~
AUTOBUILD_CONFIGURE_EXTRA=--enable-libffmpeg_static ./Autobuild.sh -t precise-amd64

Paket installieren / install packet
cd .. dpkg –i PAKETNAME

~~Maybe someone has a tutorial for Ubuntu 12 / 14, for Version >3.9.18xx~~

*Erros with Version >= 3.9.18xx*
With the current Version, and the same steps, I got this "error":

Try calling the autobuild script with the extra option..

For example.

 AUTOBUILD_CONFIGURE_EXTRA=--enable-libffmpeg_static ./Autobuild.sh -t precise-amd64

Sorry in advance, I'm very new to this. Where would I get the package name in "dpkg –i PAKETNAME"?

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi!

Try
ls -l

in the Directory

It's the file with ending .deb,
but not the "debug".

Wow that was so simple thank you! Great tutorial by the way. Its the only one I've found that actually lies out all the steps to install tvheadend with transcoding.

RE: [Tutorial] Installing Codecs and TVHeadend >=3.9 with transcoding - Added by Dolphs Lundgren almost 10 years ago

Hi - is this still the only way if you want to use transcoding?
I just installed omv ( wheezy ) from scratch with these in sources.list :

deb http://ftp.debian.ro/debian/ wheezy-backports main
deb http://apt.tvheadend.org/unstable wheezy main

Yet I like to install hts ( currently 3.9.2370 ) but not sure if I should compile or can install directly from repo

RE: [Tutorial] Installing Codecs and TVHeadend >=3.9 with transcoding - Added by Acid Rain almost 10 years ago

Hi!

I switched from Ubuntu to Debian Wheezy.
Used the Tutorial too, the only thing to change is:

AUTOBUILD_CONFIGURE_EXTRA=--enable-libffmpeg_static ./Autobuild.sh -t debian

(or without "-t debian", don't know exactly yet, Default in sourcecode there's already target Debian...)

I think it's better to compile, when you want to use transcoding, because the codex will be installed with the Autobuild Script.
