Lost settings slabs on web UI but still can see EPG and recorder slabs

Added by Luu Pilotti almost 10 years ago

I am regular noob with Linux but I managed to get tvheadend going with two DVB-T USB cards. I setup Kodi and XBMC clients elsewhere and felt really proud of my self. Until at some point when I needed to edit the tvheadend settings and I revisited the Ubuntu machine browser for it. It seems somewhere along the config frenzy I managed to configure myself to loose setting buttons on browser (see attached screenshot). I seem to miss all managerial buttons from the browser UI.

Is this something really stupid and simple to fix? I already looked in to //home/hts/.hts/tvheadend/ for possibly configuring rights back on, but could not figure out help there. Help appreciatd!

My home setup is following:
  • Tvheadend on Lenovo T60 hardware with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Fujutech DVB-T 5203 (dvb-usb-af9015.fw) plus Terratec Cinergy T2 HD.
  • Few family Windows 8 tablets and MiniMac on main TV with Kodi as clients
  • NAS for viewing or storing all media recorded on any of the device

Run

sudo dpkg-reconfigure tvheadend

Enter a user and password, then enter this user and password in the browser like this:

http://user:password@localhost:9981

Replace the strings user and password with what you entered when you ran dpkg-reconfigure.

Thanks, but this did no do the trick. Outcome is the same, only the EPG and recordings slabs on browser UI and missing the settings bits. Now what?

Try editing your startup script (on debian it's /etc/init.d/tvheadend not sure about Ubuntu) and add "-C" to the ARGS variable and restart. Then view the webui and create a user with admin permissions. Finally edit the startup script and remove "-C" from the ARGS variable and restart. You should have access then.

Or you could simply stop tvheadend delete /home/hts/.hts (deleting all config) and restart it..

You could probably also look into /home/hts/.hts/tvheadend/superuser, as that's the file that's supposed to be created (and re-created with dpkg-reconfigure) with the master login credentials. Stop tvh, rename that file, reconfigure, restart tvh, clear browser cache and connect.

Also, /home/hts/.hts/theadend/accesscontrol - you'll have a series of rules in here, each for a different set of permissions and users. The passwords are hashed, so you can't just change them, but you should be able to make them blank - or just change the permissions for existing users (ideally, the one you think you're connecting as), e.g, setting "webui": true and "admin": true, then re-connect. Again, tidy up afterwards unless you want that user to have these permissions.

SOLUTION: I ended up removing the whole tvheadend installation, renamed old configs under //home/hts/.hts/tvheadend/ and then re-installing and reconfiguring tvheadend back.
