Tvheadend

What version of Ubuntu have you installed what sources are you using to install TVH.

I tried with Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.10 with ppa:mamarley/tvheadend-git and couple others

apt update
apt upgrade
apt install -f
apt install tvheadend

You could remove what you have installed for TVH so far and deploy Snap installer. That will look after all the dependencies. Alternatively you could build and install it yourself.

Don't offer SNAP/FLATPACK this is most limited and slow variant.
Waste of resources is in times greater then native install.

I’m offering nothing. I’m suggesting solutions. You don’t use containers and that’s your prerogative but do bear in mind others do. If Snap works for the OP and he’s happy so be it. If not he can self build. As it stands so far Apt is not working for him.

Just because I tested, I will never recommend them.

The snap package is a very outdated version of TVHeadend that has been modified by the packager and cannot be supported by the TVHeadend developers or community. People who install the snap then come here seeking solutions to fix it's issues are a chronic waste of time on this forum.

The original poster I assume by now has managed to get his repos properly configured in the Proxmox container and I assume installed an official TVH deb package without issue.

The ideal solution is a self built version in my opinion.Keeping this process as simple as possible for newcomers would greatly improve TVH’s usability as there has been quite a bit of activity on the GitHub of recent months that these users can benefit from.

I generally don’t recommend any method for installing TVH. I merely point out what methods are available. It’s up to the user to decide what method best suits them.

I will say it would be nice if a user who posts looking for installation methods posts back on what option they choose and if it worked. If nothing else it’s polite to do so and it does help others.

Finally I made it to install Tvheadend but i dont see my tuner in tv adapters window. I have Hauppage usb solo hd tuner that is passed to container.
Command:

ls -l /dev/dvb/adapter0

Got me:

crw-rw---- 1 root video 212, 0 Jan 17 17:41 demux0
crw-rw---- 1 root video 212, 1 Jan 17 17:41 dvr0
crw-rw---- 1 root video 212, 3 Jan 17 17:41 frontend0
crw-rw---- 1 root video 212, 2 Jan 17 17:41 net0

By command: nano /etc/pve/lxc/212.conf I had added in container configuration file:

lxc.cgroup2.devices.allow: c 212:* rwm
lxc.mount.entry: /dev/dvb dev/dvb none bind,optional,create=dir

I had also install firmware:

http://palosaari.fi/linux/v4l-dvb/firmware/Si2168/Si2168-B40/4.0.25/dvb-demod-si2168-b40-01.fw

And also:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:b-rad/kernel+mediatree+hauppauge
sudo apt update
sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-hauppauge

What should I do now? Is it something with firmware or tvheadend dont see my tuner? Can I check it somehow?
