Tvheadend

Hello, this is my first post and hopefully an expert can solve something which should work. Using Ubuntu 14.04 as my os.

I don´t see the install of sat>ip being difficult but damn when you place Http://127.0.0.1:9981 into your web browser there should be that welcome interface to greet you. All i get is that annoying unable to connect screen every time.

Before you guys start telling me to google or do the install at said link - yes i have followed the tutorials to the bone , but something is definitely wrong.

Can i just go through what i did and see if the error is there :

Call tvheadend with http://local host ip : 9981

Tvheadend is on my pc so using my local ip http://127.0.0.1:9981

Never asked me for the pw because i always get connect failed.

I also opened port 9981 on my router.

At the moment i am using vdr to view tv/sat via 3 sat tuners on a seperate board to my main board.

I stop the vdr with :

sudo killall -g vdr

Before typing http://127.0.0.1:9981 into browser.

That´s my install but nothing works ......

Please help and thanks .

Firstly, that repo is the old one, I'm not sure how updated it is but the bintray repo should have the latest builds. See AptRepository.

Once you've installed the desired version, run..

tvheadend -v

from any user to confirm it's installed, then run..

ps -ef

to see if it's running, It doesn't matter if vdr is running or not at this point as that shouldn't stop tvheadend from starting. If it's not running try..

sudo service tvheadend start

If it still isn't running check the syslog for details, so..

sudo cat /var/log/syslog | grep tvheadend | less

That should give you some clues as to why it's not starting.

If you're still stuck paste the log lines here :).

Hello Mark,

I ran tvheadend -v

reel@BM2LTSR66RBin:/media/hd/home/reel$ tvheadend -v
tvheadend: version 4.1-2405~geb495a0~trusty
reel@BM2LTSR66RBin:/media/hd/home/reel$

ps -ef but no tvheadend and finally

sudo service tvheadend start

reel@BM2LTSR66RBin:/media/hd/home/reel$ sudo service tvheadend start
[sudo] password for reel:
tvheadend: unrecognized service

I ran the sudo cat /var/log/syslog | grep tvheadend | less command but a very strange readout here :

!file:///home/reel/Desktop/Screenshot%20-%2001092017%20-%2012:13:02%20AM.png

Many thanks.

If you installed via a deb package that should've worked, if you manually installed, this is to be expected. However, try

sudo systemctl disable tvheadend
sudo systemctl enable tvheadend

And try starting it again.

I ran the sudo cat /var/log/syslog | grep tvheadend | less command but a very strange readout here :

That blank result is because sudo is asking for your password, you needed to run something with sudo first to unlock it so it doesn't prompt.

sudo whoami

Many thanks.

Hello Mark,

reel@BM2LTSR66RBin:/media/hd/home/reel$ sudo systemctl disable tvheadend
[sudo] password for reel: 
sudo: systemctl: command not found
reel@BM2LTSR66RBin:/media/hd/home/reel$

That blank result is because sudo is asking for your password, you needed to run something with sudo first to unlock it so it doesn't prompt. 

OK, but that blank screen is the very result of entering :

sudo cat /var/log/syslog | grep tvheadend | less

Have not been prompted for a password to date , however, if that blank screen is the prompt for me to enter a pw , it is futile because it will not let me type anything.

I am sorry about all this and this could be my lack of linux know how.

I am stuck.

You need run "sudo whoami" first before running that command.

No, it isn't a prompt to ask for a password, it's blank because the command requires a password & won't output anything to grep/less until it gets one. running the command above will unlock the system so that you can use sudo without being prompted for a password (for a while).

I am sorry about all this and this could be my lack of linux know how.

You'd be better off joining the IRC channel for faster responses :).

I am stuck.

Hello Mark,

I ran cammand <whoami> in console and the output was :

< root >

Then ran :

< sudo cat /var/log/syslog | grep tvheadend | less >

the output is the same black screen ?

I tried typing in root but like i said before the console does not let me type anything in that black screen.

I am sorry about this, you are obviously trying to explain something which is obvious to you but is not registering with my logic.

No need to apologise at all, try just "sudo cat /var/log/syslog" & see if that outputs anything :).

sudo cat /var/log/daemon.log might show info too :).

Seriously come chat on IRC, https://kiwiirc.com/client/chat.freenode.net/?nick=tvhhelp|?#hts

Hello Mark,

Yes, the command :

< sudo cat /var/log/syslog >

Printed out basically a run down of my os , components etc.....

Is this good ?

PS : I am on the irc channel now - names DogLeg

I saw you on the IRC channel

OK, what does.

sudo cat /var/log/syslog | grep tvheadend

Output?

If it's blank that means tvheadend hasn't logged anything/not started.

Can you say how you installed tvheadend?

sudo cat /var/log/syslog | grep tvheadend

This outputs my os password

Paul Brown wrote:

I think you mean it outputs something like this..

[sudo] password for mark:

Just enter your password & it should display the output & not your password. The lines should start with tvheadend.

Can you say how you installed tvheadend?<

I installed it manually i.e. exactly the way i put it in first post.

I am confused ..... no, that´s an understatement .

How can i enter my pw if the black screen won´t let me.

Do you mean , open console and enter my os pw ?

Entered <sudo cat /var/log/syslog | grep tvheadend<

and outputs :

<[sudo] password for reel:<

I enter my pw and outputs :

<reel@BM2LTSR66RBin:/media/hd/home/reel$

Here´s a screen of the error message when entering http://127.0.0.1:9981

Ok it's blank. that means tvheadend has never been started. do you have the tvheadend start up script in /etc/init.d/?

ls -lah /etc/init.d/

should list the file tvheadend.

Hello Mark,

I can´t find a file in etc/init.d called tvheadend and

< ls -lah /etc/init.d/ > doesn´t list tvheadend either.

Hope this helps.

Ok, remove the currently installed version.

sudo apt-get remove --purge tvheadend*

then remove the old repository.

sudo apt-add-repository -r http://apt.tvheadend.org/unstable

then follow the guide on the AptRepository page to use the bintray repository. With any luck it should install correctly :).

Hello and good morning Mark,

Purged and followed that guide at AptRepository.

Getting the same errors as before.

ps -ef but no tvheadend and finally

sudo service tvheadend start

reel@BM2LTSR66RBin:/media/hd/home/reel$ sudo service tvheadend start
[sudo] password for reel:
tvheadend: unrecognised service

I went with the stable version :

<pre>
1. Add Bintray's GPG key:
apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 379CE192D401AB61 

# tvheadend - Stable branch - official releases
echo deb https://dl.bintray.com/tvheadend/ubuntu stable main | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list 
</pre>

Hello again,

Entered those commands again , this time folloed the first post i made and it seems we have lift off.

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

Finally , got to see the username , password prompts and they went through.

Completely blanck of any tv/sat channels though.

Atleast i can see the web interface which is a good start.

Many thanks.

Hello Mark,

Really appreciate your time.

Now that i can see the web interface , would it be possible to show me how to scan in 2 sat tuners plus one terrestrial tuner.

I can´t seem to do it.

On clicking on tv adapters i can see my 3 tuners but the configuration i just do not understand this , every detail seems to have to be done on manual.

Isn´t there an auto feature here , where tvheadend scans in all your tuners ?

Need help and thanks.

You need to create a network, add your muxes and assign that network to your adaptors (don't forget to enable them). There is pre-defined muxes for many locations but they're usually out of date, but you can try one though. Do you know what satellite your dish is pointing at?

Hello Mark,

My apologies for not getting back to you a bit early.

Seems there is partial success on the terrestrial part and the channels scanned into Kodi too , but no signal..

Atleast they were scanned but once scanned went to open a channel and vlc opened and that was it. Disappointment there.

On the satellite front a have a discque 4 input , 1 output .

1 - 13 e
2 - 19.2 e
3 - 28.2 e

I not sure if you have to configure all the sats in one go or jut one at a time.

Anyhow, i enabled 13 e first in Tv adapters and added 13 e again under networks but nothing

This might be in reverse order, try switching them around (in tvh) if the services don't match up with the positions.

One sat per network, assign network to tuner/position.

Don't forget to set the orbital position (very important).

Anyhow, i enabled 13 e first in Tv adapters and added 13 e again under networks but nothing.

The scanning can take up 5-10 mins to begin, this is so you can make changes if needed.

Click the bar at the bottom of the screen, attempt to play a service/channel & post the output here.

Hello Mark,

I made a mess of the install i think , it must be me. Tdt channels were found and mapped into kodi but not the satellite ones.

The muxes were there but i went out and came back but the screen was the same , just muxes .

I thought may be get rid of the stable and bring on unstable or testing .

This is how i did that :

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

On entering < sudo apt-get install tvheadend > i get the below message :

reel@BM2LTSR66RBin:/media/hd/home/reel$ sudo apt-get install tvheadend
[sudo] password for reel: 
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package tvheadend

I am confused now, so why this message , it dosen´t make any sense ?

Why is this made so difficult ?

Please help and thanks.
