Unable to install tvheadend on RPi2

Added by Flo Lusch over 8 years ago

Hey there,

I'm trying to install tvheadend on my RPi 2.

1st command works fine:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 379CE192D401AB61

2nd command fails:
sudo apt-add-repository "http://dl.bintray.com/tvheadend/deb stable"

#Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/apt-add-repository", line 167, in <module>
sp = SoftwareProperties(options=options)
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/SoftwareProperties.py", line 105, in init
self.reload_sourceslist()
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/SoftwareProperties.py", line 595, in reload_sourceslist
self.distro.get_sources(self.sourceslist)

(self.id, self.codename))
aptsources.distro.NoDistroTemplateException: Error: could not find a distribution template for Raspbian/jessie

What am I doing wrong?

uname -a:
Linux raspberrypi 4.1.18-v7+ #846 SMP Thu Feb 25 14:22:53 GMT 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux

Regards,
Flo

Hi Stan,

meahwhile, I figured out how to install.

Look at this post:
https://tvheadend.org/boards/5/topics/14829

There you'll find a link to https://nihil.selfhost.eu/tvheadend/
You can download a nightly deb-package and install it on your RPi2.

Regards,
Flo
