Tvheadend

Did you build a package and install it, or are you running it directly?

If the former, you can reconfigure the package - sudo dpkg-reconfigure tvheadend, I think. If the latter, you need to dig into the config files and find the right files - it's be /home/hts/.hts/tvheadend/superuser in a normal installation. Have a look in /home/hts/.hts/tvheadend/accesscontrol while you're there.

If you're not running as root, see who you are running it as (pe -eaf | grep tvheadend). And whether you're running it as root or some other user, make sure that user has access rights to your tuner (normally via the video group).

I built from source and installed.
It works perfectly from command line.
But if init script on startup runs it, still as root but it always asks for password ( which I don't have ! ).
Will try your suggestions.
Thanks
Jim

Depending on your distro and whether you need to build it yourself, you an always use the pre-built debs if appropriate. That may make installation a little easier.

There's a difference between make && make install and Autobuild.sh followed by dpkg. Again, depends on your distro (you may not be on a Debianalike) as to whether this is an option.

As root
dpkg-reconfigure tvheadend doesn't work
I did a "make reconfigure" and "make install".
then
start tvheadend (using a simple /etc/init/tvheadind.conf)
The web browser access to 9981, but it still wants a user/password. User root does not work.

/root/.hts/tvheadend/accesscontrol/1
has below.

Any ideas ???
Thanks Jim

"enabled": 1,

}

What's in /root/.hts/tvheadend/superuser?

I will look tonight when I get home.
Thanks
