How to start from scratch

This project is closed and read-only.

Hi there,

I had a working tvheadend installation on Ubuntu 14. Now that I have Ubuntu 16, nothing seems to work except the Web frontend. I'm in Germany, using Astra and our sat. system is able to provide Hotbird, too. We have a double LNC.

I would like to go step by step in order to localize the problem and the solution(s) - as I guess that might help other users too.

So lets start:

My kernel:

Linux serv 4.4.0-31-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 13 00:07:12 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

lspci says:

02:00.0 Multimedia video controller: Conexant Systems, Inc. CX23885 PCI Video and Audio Decoder (rev 04)

This seems to be the DVB-S (double) adapter plugged in to my HP Proliant N54L server. The physical satellite connections are still plugged in. We have a multiplexer installation for several households and the multiplexer works, too.

Where do I go from there? How can I check if there is a signal and / or all drivers are loaded properly?

tyheadend web interface says

HTS Tvheadend 4.0.9-6~g668d3e7~trusty

Apparently, the software has not been updated. Why not? Isn't there a repository? We seem to have 4.1.2249 now.

Let the games begin :-)

Fantastic, thanks: - I proceed and chose the "stable" path.

$ apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 379CE192D401AB61 
$ echo deb https://dl.bintray.com/tvheadend/ubuntu stable main | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list

Appended the repository in /etc/sources.list and then:

$ sudo apt-get clean
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade

.. but I get no update offered.

Just to make sure, I installed

$ sudo apt-get install tvheadend

but I get: tvheadend« iis the newest version (4.0.9-6~g668d3e7~trusty).

So, nothing changed. How do I test the hardware?

4.0.9 is the most current STABLE version. The 4.1 series are development builds that will eventually become 4.2, the next stable version.

then

sudo dpkg -i tvheadend_4.1.xxxxx.deb
