Tvheadend

This says you have a username/password configured in TVH for access control (do you enter a password when logging into the UI?). And that you've not configured XBMC with those details.

Hi,

I tried to add a user in the tvheadend ui. I tried both an xbmc user and also the user created when tvheadend was installed.
The UI always comes back with 'transaction aborted'

Cheers

If I remove a user (assuming they were actually added which I doubt); the debug log/error is the same. I was guessing it wasn't a user related problem.....

Cheers

Check the contents of ~TVHUSER/.hts/tvheadend/superuser and ~TVHUSER/.hts/tvheadend/accesscontrol

where TVHUSER is the username used to run TVH (default: hts). See what accounts you have created.

Adam

Hi,

Appreciate your help!
Ok, now I am confused.
The user has a .hts directory with tvheadend in it; but that just contains a epgdb file ; no access control or superuser directory.

thanks

How have you installed this (and from where)? Doesn't sound like its been set up properly.

Adam

Hi,

I just did:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pulse-eight/pulse
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xbmc tvheadend

If this is incorrect can you please advise how to uninstall and then reinstall correctly??

thanks

Hmmm, not sure if P8 repo doesn't anything else diff but I thought they were just shadowing our builds these days.

Try running:

dpkg-reconfigure tvheadend

And see if that asks you to put in a username/password for the super/admin user.

Adam

Hi,

No difference. I enter my user and password ; still get the same errors

:-(

Check exactly which user tvh is running as. Then add the following file:

~TVHUSER/.hts/tvheadend/superuser

with contents {
"username": "USERNAME,
"password": "PASSWORD"
}

replacing USERNAME/PASSWORD accordingly. This should do what that reconfigure should have done.

Adam

Hi,

I added that file; no difference.
Just to check I am doing this right; how do I check exactly who is running tvheaded?; I can't see it in 'top'

Cheers

ps -ef | grep tvheadend

Hi,

hts 6921 1 0 15:06 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/tvheadend -f -u hts -g video
pocster 7587 2280 0 15:22 pts/2 00:00:00 grep --color=auto tvheadend

I assume this is correct?

Looks right to me, and you restarted that process after changing the superuser file?

Do you use IRC? If so come along to #hts, much easier than using the forum.

Forgive my confusion!
So user hrs was created by tvheadend yes? - does it have a password? (or does it not require one?).
I login in via ip:9981 with the pocster user.

Assuming you've changed nothing, the hts (system) user will be created without the ability to login. (It's for running the daemon only). You will need to put the file into /home/hts/.hts/tvheadend/superuser (as root - use sudo vi etc...). I still don't get why it didn't do this on initial install.

Adam

Yep; did that. Still the same :-(

Come along to #hts if you can, this will be much easier to deal with there.

Adam

OK - thanks for all your help

Hi all, please forgive me if this is the wrong place for this or if it has already been dealt with elsewhere. I am very new to this and just trying to figure things out (I'm a biologist, not a computer guy). I have two issues. A little background first. I want to use my QNAP NAS as the backend to run tvheadend and use kodi as the frontend and run tvheadend as an add-on in order to use my NAS as a DVR. I have HDHomerun working and setup with Tvheadend. I can watch live tv through the HDhomerun app (on my comp, phone, ipad). I can also watch live tv through kodi. I was previously able to go into tvheadend through the web on my NAS, and record, and then watch a show (I did this one time with one of the world series games) on my computer. Problems: I can't figure out how to set up something to record going from Kodi. When I have pushed record nothing worked. And now, recently, when I tried to go back into the tvheadend app on the NAS from the web using my computer, it won't let access. It says 'authentication required' http://192.168.1.130:9981 your connection to this site is not private. Username_________ Password __. I have tried my normal passwords. xbmc/xbmc. So, I am hoping you can help me get back in to the app, and to get it setup to record from Kodi. Thanks, Brian
