TVHeadend compiling for clean Ubuntu 22.04 LTS - Yet Another Question

Added by stefan ott over 3 years ago

Hey everyone,

Still the complete n00b here, so please be patient :)

I would have a few questions:
1. Where can i get detailed information what the different support/features in ./configure are?
--> i did not get far with "./configure --help"

2. Anyway, what would you think are the support/features i would need for my TVheadend Ubuntu 22.04 64 bit x86_64 platform?
--> With my words, what i need is defo:
  • support for my Hauppauge USB DVB-C-Tuner
  • EPG to the available channels
  • OSCam running on the same machine
  • different streaming profiles for the different clients with lots of transcoding
  • an always up system (running as a service, i guess?)

3. How would i enable/disable the support/features in ./configure? (or do i need to change that in ./Autobuild.sh?)
--> If it worked i probably would check in ./configure if the support/features is changed, right?

Maybe interessting is the output of my ./configure:

Stefan this is a typical install used for Ubuntu 22.04 lts on an X86_64 platform. Where necessary you can use the enable/disable option to edit the Autobuild to include/exclude the different options https://tvheadend.org/boards/4/topics/47932

RE: TVHeadend compiling for clean Ubuntu 22.04 LTS - Yet Another Question - Added by stefan ott over 3 years ago

hey guys,

thanks for the answers.
i am aware of these two threads. sadly i did not find the answers to my questions there.
my interpretation of these two threads already are included in my questions.

@jonas: so i understand that changing it in the Autobuild is a onetime change only? Would it be sensible to change it in the configure - as i kinda found in a comment in the mentioned thread in a script?
--> for the notes: discussing question 3 here

RE: TVHeadend compiling for clean Ubuntu 22.04 LTS - Yet Another Question - Added by Jonas Lang over 3 years ago

As was pointed out to you previously, the scripts are designed for maximum flexibility across all Linux distributions. There’s no “one size fits all” in this case.

I created those instructions to simplify installation for beginners, or noobs as you described yourself as, wanting to build TVH on the X86_64 platform in Ubuntu. Anybody wanting to add or subtract from the build process can do so easily.

Further down the post you will indeed see discussion on the ./configure method of building referred to by Dave Pickles. This is indeed the most flexible option of all and once you manually create a service daemon you’re good to go with TVH.

Flexibility is the key here and you get configure TVH easily to suit your own needs. That’s the beauty of these methods when you are building TVH for your own particular platform. Of course you could simply add the PPA and install TVH that way. Of course you won’t be using the likes of transcoding which is particular to your platform.

RE: TVHeadend compiling for clean Ubuntu 22.04 LTS - Yet Another Question - Added by stefan ott over 3 years ago

thank you jonas, i appreciate your words.
can you point me exactly where the ./configure method of building was mentioned?
i seam not to realize this as answer to question 3

if this will solve question 3.. i still need to find answers to 1 and 2.
especially because i need transcoding, which i do notknow if it is already enabled in the standard or not, because i have no clue which option would be referring to that (and ./configure --help does not help me a lot)

RE: TVHeadend compiling for clean Ubuntu 22.04 LTS - Yet Another Question - Added by saen acro over 3 years ago

Build with all features is enough.
"Light" version is for specific cases.

RE: TVHeadend compiling for clean Ubuntu 22.04 LTS - Yet Another Question - Added by Jonas Lang over 3 years ago

Assuming your hardware will support transcoding my build instructions will give you the ability to transcode. During the build process you may be advised of missing packages (dependencies), each one will be named. Just install them as per my instructions.

Try my build instructions and once completed you can interrogate the system to see if transcoding is operational.

Also it might be worth reading up on transcoding in TVH once it is operational.
